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
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.
@phl email is only used for "signalling", for exchanging initial offers. Otherwise the setup uses a simple STUN/TURN server and webrtc in webviews on the clients. It's all pretty standard technology even if it's tricky to get it to reliably work across operating systems, platforms and devices. WhatsApp and Signal aren't doing it much differently. We'll write more about it when we release it as a stable option (probably still some time off).
email is just a message bus. and it's very fast and reliable (battle tested queues, etc) once you remove the need for any spam filters etc getting in the way
@RussSharek only 1:1 for now. Once this is fully stable and mainlined (non-experimental) we'll see about group calls. On Desktop you can already do several calls next to each other to simulate a group call :)
@s4rkn Can already replace #SignalApp for 1:1 chats especially if their phone number requirement is unacceptable to you. See github.com/chatmail/relay for hosting a relay.
@ati1 Re: #DeltaChat on #Librem5. I just tested the experimental direct 1:1 calls and it worked great : ) The call ring sounded loud and clear on my Librem 5!
@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.
I run both but here I'm talking about notification sounds on PostmarketOS run DeltaChat. Not sure if it works on desktop Ubuntu because it wasn't so important for me on desktop but I'm gonna check that as well and submit that issue. Thanks 👍️
Uch sorry I didn't pay enough attention to your toot and only now I noticed you asked wether I use DeltaTOUCH on PostmarketOS Phone. No I don't use DeltaTouch. I use desktop DeltaChat installed from Flatpak on both PostmarketOS phone and Ubuntu desktop.
Hi, will it be possible (or perhaps already planned) to add another layer of security for opening/unlocking the app by fingerprint on smartphones (similar to WhatsApp for example)? Some of my non-techie friends installed it and said such feature would be appreciated 🙏

There's an issue for it already, and somebody suggested that the first problem to fix is to replace all the 11000 usages of the word "see" in the source code. Wokeism at its finest.
@miki My gosh. But I did search for issues (I entered "accessibility" in search), didn't find anything about Windows screen reader accessibility. There is one for VoiceOver support on Mac (marked as a feature, although we all know it is not a feature).
@Yinshi Его просто все капец хвалят, он типа такой крутой, быстрый (ну да, на Расте написан), а так-то я на ВСКоде сижу. Даже для Шарпа по сути на него перешёл, большую Студию редко запускаю.
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 ?
Appelez le 15 et espérons que le poignet n'est pas fracturé. Essayez de le bouger le moins possible (je sais c'est dur), mais il vous faudrait une radiographie. Ma compassion la plus sincère.

Google ended its Women Techmakers career resource program and erased their work. The decision communicated in a terse email. "The message it sends to women in tech, and women in general, is that we cannot count on unwavering support from big corporations." cnn.com/2025/10/23/tech/google…
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.

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.
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.
It should be illegal for people's birthdays to be between the 23rd and 27th of December. If you're born on one of those days, your parents should be legally required to choose either 22nd or 28th as your alternate birthday.
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.

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. 💙
I assume you want an application to quit with Super+q because it looks like Command+q? In which case: no. All shortcuts are set up by applications, which means only applications can decide what to use, depending on the platform.
@ebassi I don't use Gnome and I'm still in #X11 land on #OpenBSD and my #MLVWM window manager, so I'm just "thinking out loud" here...
Do Gnome apps reliably "do the right thing" if sent a SIGTERM, e.g. confirming quit and/or prompting to save unsave changes, as necessary? If so, maybe write a script (triggered on super-q) to get the PID for the frontmost window's process and then `kill -TERM -p $PID` it?
@morgant sorry, but no, that’s not how UNIX signals work; you can’t block inside the signal while running a UI loop to get user confirmation—you don’t even have access to most of the POSIX API because of re-entrancy. The number of GUI apps with a signal handler is vanishingly small, and they don’t use it for interaction. Command+q works on macOS because it’s a shortcut managed by the platform to begin with.
@ebassi At least on the #X11 side, you could still close all windows for the application with `xdotool`'s `windowquit` command (or `windowclose` or `windowkill`, if absolutely necessary).
@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.
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.
ooh. ok so make zomebiefs kinda like nullfs. You can clone a mountpoint (but it's "empty"), and when you delete files at the origin they appear in the zombiefs version. And they aren't released / fully deleted until the zombiefs deletes it as well or is unmounted.
edit: I think I just described the Trash/Recycling Bin ...
For `zombiefs` I want to say that it's a file system where you can delete files as much as you like, but they never disappear.
But...it could be mistaken for a file system that just will not die, and you keep seeing everywhere, even if it has no right being used anymore. The usual name for this is fat32.
the files should not disappear when you delete them but they automatically move through the directory trees and follow you into your current working directory
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.
@link2xt I'll admit there are some that will benefit from Rust making it easier to use new instructions and will have a big performance gain from it, and that's welcomed
