Bummer. Last week our OpenTechFund contract was not signed but suspended along with OTF itself. Shit happening overseas.

However, we wouldn't deliver resilient messaging infrastructure and apps if we weren't a resilient and fun community. We never had much money to begin with, and are graced with great pro-bono contributions.

We are now looking for other public funding but it takes time. Meanwhile it'd be great to get intermittent help via a wealthy donor or small tips delta.chat/en/donate

Love this really nice write-up on embeddings in the context of LLMs, what they are and how they work. Incidentally, while reading this article, I discovered that VoiceOver on iOS supports MathML. That's quite nice! huggingface.co/spaces/hesamati…

Beeping, "ding" noises, various one off sound effects, forget that. Give me ambient-grade chord progressions for work that's going well. Switch to a minor key for degraded performance. Other programs can chime in with complementary instruments if they're working at the same time. Give me broken chords or discordance on error. What Linux really needs is an audio library with some real symphonic ambition.

Had a mail server that used to crash for reasons unknown every few days. As part of diagnosis, I made a monitor that would check status every 5 minutes and either play chirping burds if everything was healthy, or breaking glass if it wasn't, so I could do other things but be aware of the status.

When I started a site that did paid access, I added a cash register sound whenever a credit card was successfully charged, and our CFO used to sit in the datacenter on a stool giggling every time it went off.

I do cloud now, but there was something to be said about sitting right next to the stack. You could hear when things changed. Maybe I need to make something subtle that tells me about wifi traffic...

This is an image from the JWST Space Telescope in near infrared. Colours has been assigned to monochromatic filters. The image showcases a glowing, conical-shaped cloud of deep orange, red, and yellow gas stretches from the lower right to the upper left. This structure, known as Herbig-Haro 49/50, has a swirling, textured appearance and takes up most of the image. At its lower right end, the cloud has a rounded, translucent shape with a golden glow. Nearby, a spiral galaxy with a bright blue core fades into reddish-orange arms against the dark backdrop of space. As the cloud extends upward, it widens slightly, with red and amber hues blending into the surrounding darkness. The background is filled with bright white stars and distant galaxies in shades of white, yellow, and blue.

The XMPP Software Foundation has published an open letter to Meta, asking them to support true messaging interoperability using the XMPP protocol.

Meta had previously integrated this protocol, and WhatsApp is actually built on XMPP for its message routing system.

We support this initiative as it represents the best approach for genuine interoperability. Federation is the way to go !

Movim offers a feature-packed social and chat alternative to the big centralized and proprietary platforms. ✨

It is decentralized, fully built on the #XMPP Internet standard and can easily be deployed on a simple web server.

Which social or chat platform do you think Movim replaces the best? 🤔

> The technology is not going to go away. We will not turn our back on it and put it back into the bottle.

We, or at least those who aren't being ordered to use LLMs in our jobs, *can* choose to turn our back on them and just not use them, and doing so might be the best way to reduce the harms. Also, I don't believe you mentioned the harms that come from training on people's work without their consent to create plagiarism machines. I think that's the thing that most concerns me now.

About a year ago, my parents made the switch to Linux on their home machines because they really hated Win 10... Today I got a call from my mother to help her out with something, but I did not expect that "something" will be figuring out a sed pattern for a shell script she wrote to bulk rename files.

When I asked her why she didn't use some GUI program she said "I was an accountant in the DOS era, this makes more sense to me than a ribbon menu in Excel".
