> Delta Chat is decentralized.
"STFU!! You should've made it centralized."
> Delta Chat uses end-to-end encryption.
"STFU!! You should've added a backdoor for security agencies."
> Delta Chat developers don't have access to messages.
"STFU!! We define a message as any information transmitted over the Internet, and you seem to have a web forum and a mailing list, therefore you also have to add a backdoor in your app."
> Delta Chat developers don't have technical means to identify users and store their data.
"STFU!! It's required by the law!"
> Your demands violate the right to privacy, the right to secrecy of correspondence, the right to freedom of information and overall weaken encryption and undermine respect for human rights.

Those of you who have to work through Google, Apple and other store's compliance, we feel you! Maintaining around 16+ target distribution sites for cross platform apps takes a constant toll on us.
One of the giant features of #webxdc app developments is precisely that no store is needed. You can just write an index.html, a .js file and pack into a zip file and everyone can use this as an app in their chats, no store needed for permission and distribution.

Kagi Translate is not revolutionary - it's simply a better translation service.
Try it for yourself, and access 244 languages with zero tracking: translate.kagi.com/
Also: we will be bringing Kagi Translate soon inside Kagi Search as a widget for instant translation inside search results! 🪄
I am originally skeptical of @kagihq ‘s new Translate when I read the changelog since it’s using LLM, but damn I was wrong.
I used a piece of Chinese news to test the translation, and Kagi is the only one that translate 副總統勝選人 to “Vice President-elect”. Google Translate translated it to “Vice President Candidate” (副總統候選人） while DeepL only translate it to Vice President (副總統)
featurewise: interaction controls and sandboxed media preview generation just landed, the main big missing feature at this point is message edits, which is coming in the next release
the main usability downside is that normal clients (enafore, phanpy, etc) all do regular timeline stuff but you still need a separate GTS-specific web UI to do some operations including editing your profile
compatibility is top-notch; haven't run into an issue yet
🎉 Die heutige #FediverseSprechstunde ist zu Ende.
Ein großes Dankeschön geht an @crossgolf_rebel für den super Vortrag zu den Einblick in die #misskey Familie. Wir haben alle sehr viel gelernt und es beweist sich wieder, wie vielseitig die verschiedenen Anwendungen im #Fediverse sind.

The problem is that I don't want to submit every single part of my life to AI engines for analysis. Maybe it's on-device, cloud, whatever it is, if it has more sensitive data like a timeline of all sites I visited, no thanks. Some other things, like Meta glasses, I'm OK with pictures used for AI training if it means we get more representation for the way those with disabilities use that device, because I know I won't be using for sensitive data like credit card numbers, just stuff I see in public, labels I read, ETC.
In the end, this AI will be (already is) the excuse companies use to feed data from your most sensitive parts of your life into their models too, unless you yourself take control and understand the implications of the data they're asking you to feed their AI.

This article discusses how to protect privacy, amidst concerns of increased government surveillance.
The article is aimed at Asylum seekers & immigrants to the US, but it's solid advice for anyone, really.
Recommendations include using encrypted messaging apps like Signal, Apple iMessage, and WhatsApp, and setting messages to disappear.
It also recommends minimizing data sharing and deleting data when possible, particularly from Google.

In Welsh myths, pigs originally came from the Otherworld, a gift from the fairy king Arawn. The Welsh point to all the many different kinds of marvelous food one can turn pigs into (bacon, sausages, pork chops, etc.) as proof that pigs are magical creatures.

in reply to Mike • • •Emil "AngryAnt" Johansen
in reply to Khronos • • •@khronos Yes. Guix forked nix and quickly diverged a ton by switching language and away from systemd. Same base principles still ofc.
They're nix compatible though - which one would need for accessing any non-FOSS software (guix is gnu).
