Case in point: there's no way to build a backdoor that only the "good guys" can use.
When the entire technical community says that the EU's ChatControl legislation + similar pose serious cybersecurity threats, we're not exaggerating for effect.
Ayer falleció una gran amiga de mi familia. Llevaba 7 años con un cáncer complicado.
Mi madre se ha ido al funeral a Madrid, pero yo me quedaré a echar una mano a mi padre, al que la sesión de ayer de inmunoterapia ha dejado muy flojo. Él también sufre varias enfermedades graves desde hace años.
Coincide que ayer vimos una serie británica sobre cómo se vivió en un hospital británico la pandemia de coronavirus.
Y Raquel y yo recordamos esos días no tan lejanos, donde muchas familias pasamos a convivir con los cuidados intensivos y la amenaza fatal.
Todo ello me hace pensar (de nuevo) en la falsa idea de que hoy en día vivimos de espaldas a la muerte.
Lo que yo creo es que hemos cambiado rituales espirituales y sociales por prácticas sanitarias y cuidados.
Pasamos años acompañando a los nuestros en largos procesos sanitarios y afectivos.
Quizás no dedicamos tanto tiempo a los muertos porque dedicamos más a que los vivos vivan más y mejor.
Y cuanto todo termina, termina.

Why? Because he got away with it.
No media *at all* reported that their polling partner, founder and eponymous chairman of Angus Reid, tweeted out RT disinfo blaming Trudeau and then used residential school denialism to justify it.
We see you, media.

It's always wild to see someone state the very clearly spelled out intention in some piece of media, only for someone else to come in and say "I don't think that was intentional"
Like, there are some pieces of media where the main theme or goal of the work is unclear or not even something the author was thinking about. But there are other pieces of media that will state the central theme in dialog, or through some other very obvious method, and people will still somehow think that reading is unintentional.
Due to a recent app update, I can confirm that if you are using JAWS 2023, 2024 or 2025, the accessibility of the Apple Music app for Windows is not working well.
If you Tab through the items, JAWS says nothing at all.
I have this evening scripted this for my own use and have got good results, and doubtless I will do something with that.
But an app which used to work perfectly with JAWS no longer is working as it used to.
So… O’Reilly sent me email today hyping up how my books (really, just the one, I assume) is going to be AI-translated into Spanish and German, with other languages to follow. This was probably inevitable, but I still have concerns.
First: are there no human translators of these languages?
Second: who’s going to proof-read all 1,126 pages to make sure nothing got botched, especially given the technical nature of the content? The readers? Which isn’t even crowd-sourcing: it’s customer-sourcing.
I used to consider O'Reilly the top tech publisher, where one could confidently buy their books sight unseen. I think they lost the plot a while ago, this probably is the icing on the cake.
I'm sorry they are trying to do that to you.

Ugly laws will be enforced in Louisville. Medical masks will be allowed at “police discretion”.
Police chief says: “We do have to look at behavior of person, what they're doing at time, those kinds of things."
I have a disability that makes me LOOK nervous. I “appear” like I could be doing something wrong. As a result these bans terrify me.
Disabled people have been begging others to mask for years because we were afraid of this exact outcome.
Failure to normalize masking means those of us who NEED to wear them are seen as outliers. Deviants. Possibly criminals. There’s a target on our back.
Medical exemptions are not the answer - they leave too many people behind.
Everyone should have the right to protect themselves from a deadly & disabling virus. Whether already disabled or not.
Banning masks and then saying that the police will determine who is “legit” in wearing one based on their overall behaviour? Its terrifying.
This is exactly HOW profiling occurs. These bans will disproportionately impact marginalized individuals and people of colour.
They could also impact someone with a condition like mine. I’m immune compromised and high risk for Covid complications - so I ALWAYS wear a fitted respirator when I’m outside my home.
I also have dysautonomia - a literal malfunctioning of my autonomic nervous system.
If I’m upright - I “look” nervous. I’m sweaty, shaky, twitchy and sometimes wobbling. I’ve been accused of being drunk in public on MANY occasions.
It’s not my fault - Dysautonomia means I can’t regulate my blood pressure, heart rate, sweating & even pupil dilation.
The things that cops are trained to look for and consider “suspicious” are all symptoms of my disease.
In the past - the worst thing I had to worry about was being accused of public drunkenness. Even THAT was scary for me.
Mask bans mean I could be arrested and charged with a crime. Just for trying to keep myself & others safe.
I tell this story to encourage others to speak up against mask bans. To mask up in solidarity and help us normalize them so they will be harder to ban.
To encourage people to stop assuming if you have a “legitimate medical reason” you won’t have to worry. We DO worry.
We need less judgement, assumptions and gaslighting and more allies. These laws are dangerous. They will lead to more death, disability AND division.
Many of us have difficulty convincing HCWs of our illnesses - what hope do we have with police?
Please - if you CAN mask - now is the time. You don’t have to wait for a mandate or permission. You can choose to say “enough is enough” & be part of the solution. Break chains of transmission. Protect the vulnerable. Don’t allow government to decide who is & isn’t expendable.
We all have power and agency and can choose to do the right thing. We don’t have to sit idly by and accept repeated covid infections & exclusion of disabled people from public life.
Let’s work together and stop these bans before it’s too late.

XDC 2024 starts in Montréal, on Wednesday, October 9th. You'll be able to find various Igalians from the Core, Graphics, and Compilers teams attending the conference.
the design of XMPP and specifications in general is actually that many implementations can be done. If you do a single implementation without specification, you can as well make a separated app.
Various implementations means better integration.
There is no P2P "editor" feature at the moment in XMPP, but it could be done with e.g. Jingle + shared XML.

Breaking: the Judge in the Epic v Google case has just issued his final ruling, which states that Google must open up its Play Store catalog to 3P app stores and distribute those 3P app stores within Google Play.
The judge also ruled that Google can't require Google Play app billing, stop developers from telling users about other ways to pay, stop developers from linking to alternative distribution methods, and more.
