PipeWire 1.2.4 is out! Some small bugs were fixed. More details here:
One of the key features of @matrix is interoperability.
It’s no wonder you can spot a @mhoye working from his #MNTReform from the #matrixconf!
All the cool kids are here 😎

I just got an email from GitHub about a new issue for my password generator.
"Hey there!
We have detected a security vulnerability in your repository. Please contact us at https://github-scanner[.]com to get more information on how to fix this issue.
Best regards,
Github Security Team"
Uh huh. A security vulnerability for a password generator. Maybe, but I'm skeptical.
However, the issue no longer exists. Looks like GitHub took it down as spam.
I'm curious about that URL though.

V #BBC Shaimaa Khalil:
The Japanese firm which apparently makes the walkie-talkies says production on that model stopped 10 years ago.
Icom describes the IC-V82 as a handheld radio which was exported to the Middle East from 2004 to 2014 and has not been shipped since then. The manufacturing of the batteries has also stopped, it says.
The company says it isn't possible to confirm whether the IC-V82s that exploded in yesterday's attacks were shipped directly from Icom, or via a distributor.
V #BBCNews Tom Bateman:
Antony Blinken said on Wednesday that the US was "still gathering the information" about the exploding pagers.
But behind the scenes, there will be another scramble in Washington to help protect Israel, this time from a potential response from Hezbollah.
Nevertheless, there is again a barely concealed sense of exasperation at the chance the attacks could amount to a significant miscalculation.
Annnnd the air quality monitoring array has been deployed at #MatrixConf! Can you guess which room the BarCamp is starting in? 😂
Tomorrow will be the real test of the venue's ventilation, as we're expecting about 4x the attendees that we have today.
We take the #HealthAndSafety of our community seriously and are requiring masks indoors this year. The data we collect will help us calibrate our approach with this venue when we return!
#PHPledge #PublicHealthPledge #AQI #COVID #OpenSource #FOSS
People are organising spontaneously around their topics of interest in typical Barcamp fashion.
And of course, the schedule is built using a Matrix widget @HarHarLinks has developed!
Wishing everyone a great time at The #Matrix #Conference by The Matrix.org Foundation starting today in Mitosis LAB in #Berlin, #Germany

These results are not surprising considering how much pro-death penalty, pro-policing, war on drugs propaganda is pumped out for Singaporean consumption—over years, over decades.
That’s right, that’s the first series of Matrix t-shirts with colour, and it’s available at the first-ever Matrix Conference!
Der #Fingerabdruck #Sensor des Smartphones scheint nicht für die mit Händen arbeitende Bevölkerung geeignet zu sein...
Oder funktioniert das Ding bei Euch?
Gooooood morning, #MatrixConf! Can't wait to see you all in person over the next few days.
And if you can't make it, worry not -- we'll be live streaming the talks starting tomorrow! Visit our website later today for more info on that.
That’s precisely the kind of vibe we were going for the BarCamp day at the first-ever #matrixconf. Sweet and cozy!
Come to the bright side, we have… bretzels!
#trurl 0.16 is here:
One new option, several bugfixes. More documentation and many new tests.

Tři postřehy z povodní
Letošní velké povodně se naší rodině vyhnuly. Přesto jsem jejich průběh sledoval, protože v zasažených oblastech jsem měl vzdálenější rodinu, kolegy, známé. Jak už to u takových tragických událostí bývá, vyvolaly celou řadu diskusí: o schopnosti krajiny zadržovat vodu, budování přehrad, polderů atd. Mě ale pohledem ajťáka zaujaly tři věci.

Some thoughts on how curiosity can make us fall for schemes and give passive support to projects we'd otherwise wouldn't.
Today I received an email newsletter from #Urbit. I'm a subscriber, because many many years ago, I became very curious about the technical aspects around it. This was roughly during Bitcoin's early days, when the fascination with projects that defeated Zooko's triangle overcame the concern with consequences that had not, as of yet, become manifest. I also was not aware to what extent urbit's designer was not only a fascist, but someone who had wilfully embedded feudal logic into the protocol. After acquiring a couple of free planets (I think they were called spaceships back then), I fiddled some with it, and became disappointed with the extremely weak typing system and the fact all the "down to principles of computing" sale was a scam, in the sense that anything practical can't run on Urbit other than by calling non-Urbit code (jets). The prospect of having a system that slowly freezes into perfection is a good one, but without proofs it is all arbitrary. Likewise, the choice of language made it very hard for me to program with it: by chance or not, Hoon and NOK are almost custom-designed to be tough for blind programmers. After a while I lost interest and the promise of a system that lasts forever didn't take long to break, so my credentials became useless.
Now in this newsletter I got offered a free planet, and yes, a big part of me said, "try it, take it." Curiosity and perhaps the fear of missing out on something good prodded at me, and I did open the website.
But this time I stopped myself in time. I may agree that computing as it exists is a bad model, and that we need something that individuals can understand, that is deterministic, legible, and hardens into an optimum system. But Urbit isn't that. Urbit will never be that. It's a fascist political project wrapped in a technical vision that, while having a couple of good ideas, is ill-conceived in its means and ends. I don't really want to touch that again.
It uses a lot of sigils, relies on indentation and so on. I'll give you an example. This is a hoon fragment that decrements a variable:
|= m=@
=/ n=@ 0
=/ loop
|%
++ recur
?: =(+(n) m)
n
recur(n +(n))
--
recur:loop
I've written code in a ton of languages and never found myself saying "absolutely fuck that" to the extent Hoon makes me say it.
