For the next #Conversations_im release I’m refactoring how URIs are linked / made clickable. I’m adding a bunch of URI schemes like tel and mailto on top of the existing xmpp, http(s) and geo but removing support for "things that look like web URLs but aren’t actually URIs" (like 'example.com') to avoid some false positives.
Once the 2.18.0-beta comes out tomorrow or so let me know if you see things that isn’t matched and should be matched or vice versa.
Eleven years since the Facebook document "The Road To IPV6" that claimed #curl was "hostile" to it and I still feel offended. 😀

OpenAI's move to allow generating "Ghibli stlye" images isn't just a cute PR stunt. It is an expression of dominance and the will to reject and refuse democratic values. It is a vulgar display of power.

It's no coincidence that alt-right people have taken up AI generated artwork so intensely. It allows bypassing all the ethics and care of typically left-leaning artists. To show the ability to wield aesthetics without the social values tied to those aesthetics is a power move.
This is well covered in "AI: The New Aesthetics of Fascism" newsocialist.org.uk/transmissi…

When I started The Disabled Ginger I sent it to my friends and family … as most of us do.
I was proud that I was finally standing up for disability rights. That I was taking my pain and putting it on the page in an effort to help others. That I had found something that lit a spark inside me.
Unfortunately, many of my friends didn’t feel the same way.
My disabilities are invisible, and I had become very good at hiding them. Apparently that’s what people expected of me, as they didn’t like this “new” version of Kelly.
Almost none of my friends subscribed. What’s worse, many stopped talking to me. Or would only reply in brief texts.
It’s almost been a year since I launched, and my circle is noticeably smaller. Many people I thought I was close with haven’t reached out for nearly 6 months.
When you find your purpose and your passion, it’s an incredible feeling. Hopefully people support you.
Not everyone will. And that’s ok.
It’s painful seeing so many relationships fade away. It hurts knowing they don’t see the value in me now that I’m “officially” disabled.
As painful as it is, it’s also a perfect example of why I became an advocate. Ableism is a huge problem. Being disabled can be incredibly lonely. I wanted to give a voice to those who haven’t yet found theirs.
In the process I’ve met incredible people from all over the world who inspire me to keep going. Who give me a reason to write every day. Who remind me of the compassion, love and goodness that’s still out there.
Thank you to each and every one of you. I couldn’t do this alone.
My latest looks at the reasons we hide, and what would happen if we all decided to stop hiding and show the world the realities of chronic illness:

Thanks for sharing this! It rang so many bells with me…
> This phenomenon is hard for the non-disabled to understand.
Too true. But as one of those I can say: they can learn to "accept" that (in the sense as to neither deny it nor to expect it to "go away" one day; in the sense as to accept their friends stage, as unsatisfying as it feels; in the sense as to try finding other ways to (hopefully) give at least some consolidation, to support them & not to give them up).

Okay, I figured it was something like that. I'm currently a paying Proton user, but with the recent political vocalizing by their CEO, I'm looking elsewhere. I have a free Tuta account atm, and while the android email app is not as polished feeling as Proton's, it's solid. I should mess around with the calendar too.
Right now, my biggest issue is that if I do switch, is moving everything from Proton to Tuta. I've thought about getting a domain name and making an email on Proton, switching everyone to that, then moving that email name over to Tuta. Not the easiest, but if I ever have to switch again, it would make it easier that time.
Maybe it would get me to finally give up my old Yahoo and Gmail accounts too. (haha.)
Sorry, got rambly there.

RESTORING TRUTH IN AMERICAN HISTORY: Today, President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order restoring truth and sanity to American history byThe White House
Quote from man sued: "What are you gonna do, sue me?"
Kevin O'Leary has sued crypto personality Ben Armstrong (aka "BitBoy Crypto") for repeatedly claiming O'Leary murdered two people
(O'Leary and his wife were indeed involved in a boating collision that killed two people in 2019; O'Leary states in the lawsuit that it was his wife driving the boat, and she was acquitted of any charges)
Complaint: courtlistener.com/docket/69798…
![27. On March 19, 2025, Armstrong unleashed another tweet accusing O’Leary of committing “actual crimes”: “Doesn’t everybody think it’s weird that I’ve been publicly calling … @kevinolearytv [a] murderer[] and yet not a single word or legal action? It’s almost like they ‘can’t’ because a lawsuit would open up their actual crimes and they know it.”](https://fedi.ml/photo/preview/640/654084 "27.

.*[^.)]$
(Replace .* with the actual regex)
And I would vastly prefer an URI ending in ")" being a false negative over many URIs in parentheses being a false positives.
@guusdk
allo
Unknown parent • • •Right ... I guess there we're at the edge cases.
If I were looking for a heuristic, I would say that if the URI has ( or ) before the end, then it can have one at the end, otherwise one can assume that it does not belong to the URL. But I can see how you can find more and more edge cases in such heuristics.
@rakoo @guusdk
allo
Unknown parent • • •The computer scientist in me says you can't find matching parentheses with RegEx.
The programmer in me says look for a solution that is "good enough". An idea that would cover a lot of cases would be, for example, to assume that a URI can contain at most one pair of parentheses. The few counterexamples are rare, and they are then the rare false negatives one has to accept.
