Believe it or not: #deltachat is growing audio/video calls starting with the currently rolling 2.22 releases ... A few people already had two hour long stable calls :)

Calls are an experimental option while we continue to work on reliability, UX/UI revisions, and configuration of TURN servers on #chatmail relays and in clients.

We want calls to reliably work across all major platforms, networks and phones, including #UbuntuTouch

Feedback and debugging happens at support.delta.chat/t/help-test…


Help testing upcoming Delta Chat release with calls 📞!

Всем привет! Возможно ли сделать звонок, если использовать только классические сервера электронной почты? Мои попытки позвонить закончились неудачно - сам вызов проходит, но ни звука, ни видео.

@opensourceopenmind Ok. So I made a call from DeltaChat on Pixel3A running @LineageOS calling DeltaChat on Pixel3A running @postmarketOS with @phosh I got a nice ringtone on PostmarketOS phone, and Ubuntu laptop and iOS phone 👍️ I've answered on Postmarket phone. Audio worked great, and I also got video from Lineage phone but not from Postmarket phone (no surprise to me though I have a working front camera on PM OS so theoretically it could already be done). So 10/10 overall. Great work!👍️

@opensourceopenmind @LineageOS @postmarketOS Although for DeltaChat text messages received on PostmarketOS I still only get notification banners with haptics, no sound. Working with Delta running both in foreground and background. To get notification sound I have to have chat with that specific person sending text open in DeltaChat. Again on foreground or background doesnt matter but chat has to be open. Other way - only haptics.

Do you run Delta Chat Desktop or DeltaTouch on the postmarketOS phone?

Requirement to have a chat open to have a notification sound is not expected. Could you open an issue at github.com/deltachat/deltachat… or
codeberg.org/lk108/deltatouch with more details?

Кстати код на Rust недавно впервые увидел, случайно в одной статье. Ну такое. Бесплатно я бы точно не стал на нём писать. Если понадобится сделать системную утилиту или бэкенд, где Java было бы тяжело, часть стримингового сервиса например, я лучше возьму Go, при всех его моментах.

@Yinshi Согласен. Не знаю, чего с ним так все носятся. Синтаксис просто-таки мерзотный. Я уже грешным делом подумываю сделать язычок в качестве хобби) Ну чисто как я вижу нормальный синтаксис. Ближе всего на самом деле Шарп к моему видению.

Ух ты, интересное у тебя направление мыслей. Ну а чё, попробуй. Я так думаю в твоём случае для подобных экспериментов Шарп вполне сойдёт. Если поиграться, то почему бы и нет. Помню, в универе был какой-то курс где рассказывалось про подобные задачи, но ещё и с тем как устроены компиляторы.

Если бы я захотел так поэкспериментировать, взял бы Scala, сам понимаешь, я из JVM мира. Да и в ФП парадигме писать всякого рода трансформаторы, парсеры и прочее проще чем на императивном языке. В C# есть всякие прикольные вещи для этого, но всё равно императивщина будет торчать отовсюду.

Dites, je suis tombé sur mon poignet cet aprem, ça a très très peu gonflé, mais j'ai du mal à le bouger.
Est-ce que c'est la peine de passer à la pharmacie demain si c'est la même chose ou j'appelle directement le 15 après le petit déjeuner pour qu'on me dise quoi faire ?

J'ai mis du froid et ressorti mon atèle 🤷

I think one of the most important things that a parent of a young child can do is to help them manage what I call the “heartbreak of growing up”: those recurring moments when the child realizes that what they thought was true turns out to be not-so-true, that something they thought was simple turns out to be not-so-simple, and that the world turns out to be much more complex and so much harder than they ever expected.

I make it a point not to call any child “smart” or “talented”because these are words that can often harm them when they meet their next heartbreak of growing up. Instead of telling them that they have innate abilities to *succeed*, I tell them that they have innate *resourcefulness* and *problem-solving skills*. Their next failure should not shatter their self-image; but rather call their creativity and fire into action.

Anyway, this #music #video captures so perfectly the heartbreak of growing up.

SEASONS OF JASON LOGO REVEAL! 🍾

First, I used generative AI to help materialize what was in my head (the result was predictably laughable). But THEN I paid a professional human to design it and polish it, as things should be! That awesome human was @micahilbery, because I saw his fantastic work every day during our time working at @thunderbird.

Thank you for helping make this new dream a reality for me, Micah.

Grid of four seasonal logo color variations labeled Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter with hex color codes; each logo shows mountains, a river, and a hiker with the text "S.O.J Seasons of Jason."

I wonder if anyone has ever considered creating a browser extension or an NVDA addon to jump to the next form field on a webpage that is marked as containing an invalid entry.
I just spent way too long trying to submit a medical intake form and finally realized that the "Allergies" text field was required, and I had to manually type "None" into it.
Am I missing some obvious method for doing this? I know I coudl probably type some code into the console and figure this out, but for general use it seems like this should really be possible.

I'm in a #github internal group for high-profile FOSS projects (due to @leaflet having a few kilo-stars), and the second most-wanted feature is "plz allow us to disable copilot reviews", with the most-wanted feature being "plz allow us to block issues/PRs made with copilot".

Meanwhile, there's a grand total of zero requests for "plz put copilot in more stuff".

This should be significative of the attitude of veteran coders towards #LLM creep.

I get that people may think that Loops is simply a TikTok clone.

But a clone wouldn't ship 26k LoC to add ActivityPub support*, publish all source code under AGPL, or support full data export and migration.

Most TikTok competitors are driven by financial motives, whereas Loops isn't.

This matters. A lot.

You can't serve two masters — either you serve your people, or you serve the money.

Hi there!
I'm Astra - an indie producer from Ukraine.
About a year ago I started releasing my music - at first it was simple #ambient, and now I'm exploring new sounds and ideas.

I'm still a bit shy about my voice, so there’s no vocals yet.

My dream is to live off my music one day and leave the job I don’t love.

If my sound resonates with you, just listen - that already means the world to me. 💙

@ebassi My understanding is that `xdotool`'s `windowquit` is the equivalent to the WM sending a `WM_DELETE_WINDOW` event, which Gnome and such libraries _should_ handle gracefully. I agree that the `windowclose` & `windowkill` commands should be avoided, if at all possible, since they are _not_ going to be graceful, lose data, and break stuff.

The internet is full of strange creatures. On a GitHub issue where someone is asking for SIGHUP support to reload the configuration, someone responds:

"Maybe SIGUSR1, SIGHUP isn't really intended to be used like this.

Edit: TIL SIGHUP is pretty commonly used by other daemons, that's goofy"

Goofy? It's like 40 years of tradition, using SIGUSR1 is what would be goofy

Q&A Saturday 25th, 3PM Eastern, 8PM UK
October, October, it's very nearly over.
And something something sober, mumble mumble Manitoba.
I promise the answers will be better than the poetry at this month's Q&A. As usual, we'll be live for a couple of hours, doing our best to help people with REAPER, OSARA and accessible production.
Details are over at reaperteacher.com, that's also where you can send us a work in progress or something you've completed recently to get objective, constructive feedback from hosts and some of the attendees who join us live. Try it out, we've been told it's super helpful.

See ya there,

I have a thought that's a sort of question and I hope I can express it well. Specifically for my #Blind friends, since we have greater access to books in other formats such as ePUB, Daisy and means through which to read in #Braille and the like, are #AudioBooks as important or necessary as they once were? Do people find themselves as a result less willing to embrace any narration human or otherwise merely to have the book in an auditory format as they might have in earlier times when that was more likely to have been our only means of access? I hope my question makes sense. It's just something I'm thinking about as I listen to samples of Audible books and think do I really want to listen to that narration; and would I have been as prone to such a thought in earlier times when it might have been that narration or no access at all.

@link2xt having been through years of pain fixing scripts to work correctly with BSD's "coreutils", I do not wish to enter a new era of my life where I do this again except this time it's for Rust coreutils which also did not adhere perfectly to the conventions of the GNU coreutils

This is a waste of time IMHO and will definitely make my OS compiles significantly longer with no perceived benefits. I'd rather have hardware implemented memory protections and keep my C utils.

Powerful piece by an ex-Block executive on the hubris of billionaires and their historical folly supporting a corrupt fascist.

Today’s tech and business elite do not understand that the neoliberal systems we had – from the end of WWIi to the Trump era – were designed to preserve elite influence and power over the long term. They really pulled the whole house down just so they could say the r-word in public.

Wow, you're telling me the NPU on Windows 10 is just called an "intel reserved device"? What's so reserved about it, Intel? Oh, the fact that Win10 has very little to zero use for it and apps can't quite tap into it? But then why even show that as a compute accelerator. This is on a Core Ultra 268V, a processor that should never have ran Windows 10, and yet is doing so today. I had 23 drivers to install after a clean one, youch. And yes, you must install the Intel Smart Sound bus drivers, then your APO, then your Realtek driver, else you won't get sound from speakers. But it's done now. Windows 10 on a modern CPU that is really designed for Windows 11.
Sadly on AMD the story's different: The new AI processors do not support things like connected standby on Windows 10 because AMD decided to not deliver ACPI drivers for that platform anymore. Going with Intel, if you're buying in 2025 and want Windows 10 is probably better even if it'll require a lot of driver fiddling.
