Thunderbird announces Thundermail and Thunderbird Pro Services, Firefox enables HEVC playback on Linux, Windows 95 on Fedora, and April Fools' tech articles ...
Thanks for some really helpful feedback on Thunderbird *and* Thunderbird Pro. Not gonna lie, we love the idea of the Thunderverse! Also, we love the penguin pics. Can't imagine why. Must be because we love birds! :D
Estoy impresionado con la rapidez de respuesta que tiene la voz de Mateo de RH Voice en NVDA. Lamentablemente no es muy fΓ‘cil poder usarlo en Fedora 41.
@asael @rmcpantoja I'm impressed with how quickly the Mateo voice from RH Voice responds in NVDA. Unfortunately, it's not very easy to use it on Fedora 41.
He gave me one of my first, truly safe jobs and opportunities as a PA for a project he was working on years ago. He made it a point to say βI want to see more Black women in this industryβ¦β and then proved it with his actions. I got to hug him last year after not seeing him for sometime. We spoke via iPad. He was incredibly proud of me. This is all that matters. Honored to know this man. I am truly glad he is free.

trurl is a tool in a similar spirit of tr but for URLs. Here, tr stands for translate or transpose. trurl is a small command line tool that parses and manipulates URLs, designed to help shell script authors everywhere.
You can put web+ap URIs into a message (or room description) and ideally a click on those will open your Mastodon client. However if no installed app supports those (the only app that Iβm aware of is Fedilab) Conversations will open a browser instead.
Currently no app will create web+ap links but it is fairly easy to handcraft them.
Wouldn't it be nice to have some kind of generic UI widget that could resolve all kinds of protocols attached to a user address and offer to open various different apps for different things?
I said it before on Mastodon. I'm reposting this again. Comparing #DeltaChat and #Matrix together, if you want hassle free and consistent messenger for private #E2EE chats, don't go for Matrix. DeltaChat is way better.
However, if you want something like a public forum, or a public chatroom, don't go for DeltaChat. Matrix is way better suited for that. And DeltaChat does not support public groups at all. In DeltaChat groups, there is no admin or moderator and everyone have got permission to remove or add the others.
I think I have to write a longer post on my personal blog about these two, comparing them together.
PS: Another Matrix encryption bug few minutes ago triggered repost of this.
@zstg In hindsight, we sort of overlooked the fact it was April 1! But no, not a joke, and we'll have a blog out with more information soon - hopefully today!
Bij het Nationaal Monument op de Dam in Amsterdam is een auto in brand gevlogen. De politie meldt dat de Dam is afgezet vanwege een brandend voertuig. Ook is er "medische zorg" voor een persoon.
@s3nnet Indeed, but would have been nice if all of this had not been necessary at all... Just think about the wasted time and energy of everybody involved!
Why use any Apple product, though? Overly expensive, outdated and bloated OS, minimum control (like using the mail client you want)... Terrible consumer practices, programmed obsolescence, hardware implementation that doesn't make any sense... Step up to something better and more efficient, like #linux
With the NGI Mobifree Pilot we work on more ethical mobile software. Consortium partner @waag is looking for app developers who'd like to volunteer as testers. You'll be testing Murena Fairphone (on loan), F-Droid & Repomaker. There will be 2 in-person meetings and weekly requests for feedback. Because of the in-person meetings it's aimed at people who live in the Netherlands.
Are you excited about testing open-source software and the Murena Smartphone? We are looking for testers to develop prerequisites for a human-centred and ethical framework for mobile design.

this would have been helpful the last time I was working with Firecracker; itβs a fairly restrictive VM, and VSOCK is the main way to talk out to the host:

In the meantime, I have 2 bigs issues with Tuta app on ios. It freezes very often when I open an email and want to delete it or go back to inbox. But worst is that, if I receive an email while my phone is off or on flight mode, I am not notified when I am back online and that's really annoying. Much more than not being able to set tuta as default email app
