Ah, so reasonable people who aren't aware of the settings will be quoted by those who love to dogpile, but those knowingly spreading misinformation will be uncorrectable.
I literally just came back here after a few months break, and that's one of the first things I see. *sighs*
@citc I mean, the right aproach to that problem is a service like Birdwatch (now rebranded as "community notes"), but it has... too much of a musky smell to it.
Want to know more about Thunderbird Pro, including Thundermail? Our latest Community Office Hours has you covered! We're discussing planned features, answering questions, and getting to know our new productivity suite before it hatches!
Looks very exciting, especially the fact that some of these services will be self-hostable! I'm curious about Thunderbird Send: if it's end-to-end encrypted but shared without a password, how are anonymous clients able to decrypt the file contents, but the Send server is not? Is the decryption key stored in the URL (and not persisted/logged on the server)?
Edit: looks like this is partially discussed around 42 minutes in, but I'm not sure how it works for password-free files.
@oac Thanks for the excitement and your questions! We've forwarded them to our services team, and we'll have more detailed information on this and other features as we get ready to roll out a beta for Send in the near future.
Thunderbird Pro is a new suite of optional, subscription based productivity services we're introducing in the near future! Thunderbird Appointment, an open-source scheduling web app is the first product out in beta, and we describe the other services (Send, a private file-sharing service; Assist, an AI-powered add on with summarizes and advanced search; and Thundermail, a new privacy-focused email provider!). blog.thunderbird.net/2025/04/t…

For day 4 of #AudioMo, I talk briefly about 'the next'. I've just been told that the book I'm reading is "the next Murderbot". I heard that hundreds of fantasy epics were "The next Game of thrones!" Bah.
Purism makes premium phones, laptops, mini PCs and servers running free software on PureOS. Purism products respect people's privacy and freedom while protecting their security.
So now #purism is about U.S imperialism and "momeland security" instead of freedom and privacy ? that will stop me from buying anymore products of them.
Dans le cadre de la conférence "Ambition France Transports" lancée en mai par François Bayrou, la piste d'une nouvelle taxe sur chaque billet de train a été proposée selon Les Echos. Une proposition qui est loin de faire l'unanimité.
Submitted two(!) proposals for talks at the Matrix Conference[1]. If any are accepted I guess we'll find out whether I really am ready for the pre-talk stress (from which I have been taking a break for a year or so).
Při převodu bitcoinů na stát, u kterého byl notář i náměstek ministra spravedlnosti Radomír Daňhel, poslal odsouzený obchodník s drogami Tomáš Jiřikovský podle zjištění Deníku N část kryptoměny v hodnotě 36,5 milionu korun bokem.

Thanks for the tips! I use TOTP for 2FA on most sites. Security keys feel a bit excessive for me, so I go with Bitwarden passkeys whenever available! #bitwarden
I've been thinking of getting a security key as a "Privacy helper". 2 that I've looked at are Solo and Yubikey. Do you have a suggestion as to which might be the better of the 2?
Right. If somebody says something like that to me I always abswer that I also have nothing to hide. But that doesn't mean that you can breach my privacy, come into my home, sniff out every tiny detail of my life to sell me crap or scam me.
'Keep your software updated' illustrates how bad IT actually is when it comes to security,... We should get finished products with proven security by having passed a security audit. Imagine buying a new car and being contacted by the seller after 1 month to inform you that some part needs to be replaced because it makes your car insecure. You get the part replaced but 1 month later the seller contacts you again to inform you that an other (or the first replacement) part needs to be replaced because it makes your car insecure,... How long do you think it will take for you to start getting pissed and stop believing you have been sold something secure?

Chrápání není jen noční nepříjemnost, ale často i příznak závažných potíží. Podle odborníků se může jednat o spánkovou apnoi, která ohrožuje zdraví i vztahy.
Je to tak 🤷🏻♂️. Berušku jsem poslal na plicní, zjistili, že má apnoi (občas v noci kromě chrápání přestala dejchat 😬, to se mi fakt nelíbilo, často jsem nespal a pozoroval ji 🙄 a budil ji, aby dýchala), takže dostala od zdravotní pojišťovny Philips DreamStation a je klid 😊 (byl/je na něj i software do Ubuntu 💚). To se stalo před cca 7mi lety. Teď tam posílá i mě 😳, ale já jen občas chrápu ☺️🤔. @Onqa6
If you are after an accessible tactile image creation tool for maths, maps and tactile images, check out TactileBiew which is also screen reader friendly. humanware.com
the form to request a demo of tactile view has form controls that don't read well with a screen reader. Presumably a simple labeling fix, just wanted to let you know :)
In August 2019, a young girl named Bethan visited Poole Museum in Dorset, England, with her mother. Inspired by the exhibits and a conversation about the purpose of museums, Bethan decided to donate her most treasured possession—a small rock—to the museum. She requested that it be placed behind glass so others could appreciate it as she did. The museum staff honored her heartfelt request, and the rock was displayed in a glass case on the second floor, labeled “Bethan’s Rock.” #museums

"We found that native Android apps—including Facebook, Instagram, and several Yandex apps including Maps and Browser—silently listen on fixed local ports for tracking purposes.
Don't ip address connections bypass the resolver steps? What about proxies? (Are there differences in the different ways to specify proxies? Does curl support PAC scripts? What about when the proxy itself requires a resolution and connection? Preproxies?) What about other protocols? (It looks like it supports a lot...) Unix sockets?
This document specifies the "SVCB" ("Service Binding") and "HTTPS" DNS resource record (RR)
types to facilitate the lookup of information needed to make connections
to network services, such as for HTTP origins.

@sundanian C is still waaaay more portable than all alternatives, and the only real alternative rust is still young and fairly immature for system library tasks, so I think so yes.

I've you've been following me awhile, you know much work I've put into creating a space in the fedi that differentiates itself from centralized platforms, not just as a foil to those places, but also to make an environment where we consider the possibilities beyond what we are told to believe.
It started with @fipamo dev tool I built for myself, that, through many interations, I am converting to an opinionated social media tool, built around the idea of having a more intimate and humane experience.
This led me to build @thebadspace community curation tool that individuals or communities can use to make moderation easier by identifying sources of harm and keeping them out of our spaces.
I have specific thoughts about safety in the largely unregulated fedi, which I teamed up with Nivenly to create a high level overview of how it could be implemented in independant social media platforms, called the FSEP (ha, which Bluesky seems to have, uhm, been inspired by for their "compostable moderation" feature, but that's another post). nivenly.org/docs/papers/fsep/
And last Friday, I hooked up with DAIR to host a panel called Imagining More, which brought together a crew of seasoned Black online professionals that talked about the challenges that inform the possibilities of web that is not just safer, but better for marginalized voices. twitch.tv/videos/2472547406
I'm not gonna lie, it's been a tough road to get here, but I am proud of the work I've done and the possibilities that are now being considered as we continue this grand experiment of independent social media. I've been a creative pro for a long time, but this has, by far, been the most rewarding work I have ever done.
And I plan on continuing, which of course takes resources. Not as much as you might think to keep it all moving forward, but it does take some.
Everything I do is funded by contributions from every day folks who want a better web or the occasional freelance work I pick. Everything. I don't take money from corporations or VC because what I'm building is for people to have a better and safer experience on the web. And it's going to stay that way.
So all that is to say I am very encouraged and excited about how everything is going. I want to do even more than what has been accomplished already.
Ha, and if you read all this I think you do too. So give what you can so I can continue to develop platforms and tools, write more thoughts about my vision for the independent web and create more events platforming the brilliant minds that are making it happen that you’re not hearing about.
Because even with the challenges and hardships I've endured, I strongly believe we are so much closer to having a web that enriches our lives than not.
