Sweden wants to #backdoor #encryption. But we, together with 230+ orgs, are saying no.

Sweden's latest attack on encryption comes simultaneously with the Swedish Armed Forces speaking up in favor of encryption. If this alone is not enough to reject the legislation, read the open letter to the Swedish Riksdag.Tuta
#Mozilla changed hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozill… to use 302 redirect:
< HTTP/2 302
< content-type: text/html
< date: Tue, 08 Apr 2025 08:13:36 GMT
< location: hg-edge.mozilla.org/releases/m…

This could lead to some failure to update the certificate data with tools that don't handle redirect correctly. These tools will fail to fetch the new certdata.txt now.
I'm putting the finishing touches on a massive release of the Converse #XMPP chat client. 🚀
✨ Here’s what to look forward to:
◾ Groupchat DMs: You can DM other participants without knowing their address
◾ Blocklists for spammers 💩
◾ Accessibility improvements, like support for RTL languages
◾ Media enhancements
◾Big performance enhancements, particularly for chats with a long history and many participants.
◾Three new themes, Nordic 🗻 , Dracula 🧛♂️ and Cyberpunk 🌆
From the sattirical UK-based web site NewsThump: Trump funeral remains America’s top sexual fantasy
A survey of Americans’ sexual behaviour has revealed that, for the ninth year running, the number one sexual fantasy of most people is the funeral of Donald
Trump.
“I only have to think about a funeral parade for the president and I go from six to midnight,” said one respondent...
Welcome to the random shit Z sends me, Kayla, and Gap Tangle, among others, just for a reaction.

The blog post from yday brought back this question: why aren't we using C99 in #curl? Here's my past response:

tldr: we stick to C89 for now. The curl project builds on foundations that started in late 1996 with the tool named httpget.daniel.haxx.se
@icing the question of "what benefit does it bring" still remains.
We finally started using vararg macros for our Debug() macros in OpenLDAP. We also use snprintf if available. We still don't use C++ style comments. The change in Debug macros really makes it a pain to backport bugfixes from tip to older releases. Annoying...
@hyc We use vararg macros when available with static functions in headers when not. Would be nice to switch that off.
Otherwise I am more keen on using stdint.h everywhere.

Are you using Shopfy to run the backend of your ecommerce store?

In which @bagder is wrong about something, maybe.
"Wider code is harder to read."
Seems obvious it is highly subjective. Period.
I personally find excessive line breaking very difficult to read.
Being a DEC bunny I grew up on 80 chars. I always preferred my VT100 on 132w.
I found reading the blog post hard.
Breaking words is probably even worse (inset) 😂
I guess you can get used to anything.
But is there any evidence to support this dogma?

I know it's hard to find a silver lining these days, but the sheer stupidity of the US administration is inadvertently destroying the finances of the Russian regime. I think we can all agree that's a good thing.
