My dad just received his Ally Solos glasses. He likes them, but has a few questions. First, do the glasses automatically update their firmware? There seems to be nothing concerning firmware update, current version, etc. in the Ally app. Also, the documentation we've been able to find is extremely confusing about how to charge the glasses. At one point it says the magnetic cable can only be used with the left arm. Then elsewhere it says a USB C cable can only be used with the left arm. But then in another place it says you can charge both arms at the same time. Does anyone have any info on this? Please boost for reach. Thanks. *** Hashtags follow *** #AllySolos #AllyGlasses #AllySoloGlasses #SoloGlasses #Envision #EnvisionGlasses #EnvisionSolos #EnvisionAlly #EnvisionSoloGlasses #EnvisionAllySoloGlasses
Hi! Is there any chance we can encourage you to trend #NVIDIA when that's the company you mean, please? I know what their NASDAQ handle is, but #NVDA is much more widely known as the name of the screen reader we make and the #NVDA hashtag is very widely used for the screen reader. It will save both our communities polluting each other's feeds. If you'd like to find out more about the screen reader, our website is nvaccess.org/ - Thank you!
nice one! We get pinged to update curl to the latest version on Windows and Microsoft have their own build, which is behind in terms of fixes. Have Microsoft tried to work with you properly on the way of incorporating automatic updates to curl into their OS? Thanks!
Ich habe große Sympathie für @nextcloud@mastodon.xyz und nutze sie seit, ich denke, ca. 10 Jahren gern (selbstgehostet).
Aber der #Desktop #Client bzw. das #Interface für #Linux (#ubuntu 24) stellt meine Loyalität und Begeisterung seit Jahren arg auf die Probe.
Seit Monaten stürzt er beim Computer-Start ab, von Update zu Update bessert sich das nicht und mit dem Neuesten ist das Hauptfenster jetzt "Nextcloud Desktop öffnen" genannt, und die Nautilus-Integration zur Freigabebearbeitung gar nicht mehr nutzbar ...
Ich kenne leider noch keine, suche schon lange... Nur die Eintragung als Konto in Ubuntu Gnome hat geholfen, dass ich mit Nautilus direkt zugreifen kann, löst aber das synchronisationsproblem nicht.
Probleme mit der Synchronisation habe ich keine, die läuft wie geschmiert 😀. Nur das Interface ist nicht nutzbar. Soweit ich weiß liegt das an Inkompatibilitäen von #QT.
Global Memory Shortage Sparks Samsung Price Hikes: Why You Should Buy Now Before It’s Too Late
Introduction A storm is brewing in the world of technology — and it’s not about foldable screens or flashy upgrades this time. The silent force reshaping the market is memory. As the demand for artificial intelligence continues to skyrocket, the pressure on high-bandwidth memory (HBM) production has reached critical levels. From AI servers to smartphones, every device now…
Hurricane Melissa made landfall in eastern Cuba near the city of Chivirico early Wednesday as a Category 3 storm after pummeling Jamaica. #news #NPRnpr.org/2025/10/29/nx-s1-55897…
@Tutanota For some reason, emails I send from my tutamail.com address have recently started to always end up classified as spam unless I was specifically whitelisted. This is an issue for example when I try to email a company to get customer support—they never see my email so I never get a reply.
I’ve never sent spam, so I don’t know why this is happening.
Is this a known issue? Is there something I can do? Is there something you can do on your end?
I find it bold stating that #DeltaChat doesn’t need a hyperscaler like #Signal does when it is based on… email servers. Where there is no audio/video calling. Where every sender and recipient server knows who is communicating with whom. Where you need to trust every decentralized server to not keep that information. Maybe be less smug if you can’t provide metadata protection. 🙄 @deltachaos.social/@delta/1154540411…
Signal's president claimed it takes billions to replicate the availability and reliability of "hyperscalers" (AWS/Google/Microsoft/Cloudfare) that Signal uses.
sure, nobody said avoiding hyperscalers is easy. In 8 years of project time we got about a tenth of the money that signal gives to hyperscalers, yearly. We can only tackle the challenges one by one, with the resources and skills we have, and see how far we get. Still some way 🤷🏽
So how are you going to disprove the claim that you need hyperscalers when providing a service like #Signal does? Because that is what your post said. But I don’t see you providing a service like Signal does. And I’m sure DeltaChat does good stuff, but I was using PGP for mails 20 years ago. So maybe don’t try do dunk on another service while providing the same metadata protection we had 20 years ago?
with all due respect and recognition that pgp has a troubled history, pgp twenty years ago and #openpgp now are different things. See for example chaos.social/@delta/1145902670… or for a more thorough security talk including discussing metadata passthesalt.ubicast.tv/videos/…
our friends over at @rpgp just published a monster milestone, humbly tagged 0.16 😍 with
- streaming decryption and encryption
- post-quantum-cryptography
- API streamlining.
#rPGP is a full Rust implementation of #openpgp which counts among the fastest and most compliant implementations today, and includes security audits. Note: #deltachat uses a restricted subset of OpenPGP, and follows best practices (eg using the same ed25519 keys implementation as #signal) github.com/rpgp/rpgp/
Not what I was asking. Maybe just try to do good work without smug comments about another service that also provides a much needed way of secure communication.
Signal doesn't have sealed receiver; it only has sealed sender (that only sometimes works). How can it deliver the message to the recipient if it doesn't know who the recipient is?
It knows who the recipient is. Recipients create a token and give it to future senders; senders only include that. They don't need to authenticate because the only way they could know this token is if the receiver already "trusts" them. All the details are in signal.org/blog/sealed-sender/
In addition to the end-to-end encryption that protects every Signal message, the Signal service is designed to minimize the data that is retained about Signal users.
exactly. So if Delta sends all messages with a noreply@ sender on the envelope, the recipient's PGP key ID is scrubbed (already a feature in rpgp), and we have ephemeral addresses then anyone inspecting the email won't know for sure who the sender was or who the recipient is
really the biggest problem Delta has with solving these problems *today* is that there's an established userbase so the code has to be written and tested then slipped into several releases before it can be turned on or things will break for users because they often aren't aware of updates
But you don’t address any of the privacy issues that exist in a post-Snowden threat model. Designing something that works in this context at all is hard, doing it in a decentralised setting is even harder (doing it in a federated model is probably impossible). But you continue to criticise Signal while not even attempting to solve the problems.
You are working with the same threat model that we used when I worked on XMPP 20+ years ago, which is no longer relevant to the modern Internet.
and yet Signal hasn't even fixed the "phone number tied to your government identity required to have an account", "your ISP is tied to your government identity and knows the IP addresses you've used", and the "group members can be identified because they're exposing their IP addresses to the CDN" problems.
Aren't these significant post-Snowden threat model problems too?
edit: especially in a world where every one of these corporations has folded like a wet napkin and happily complies with anything the current US government demands of them
@david_chisnall you are rightfully coming from a very skeptical position if you look at 20 years of XMPP and traditional PGP happenings. Likely you would find things to complain about but at least skimming our "encryption and security" FAQ might clear some common misconceptions stemming exactly from those 20 years of bad experiences delta.chat/en/help#e2ee

That FAQ suggests that you are not trying to solve the right problem. End to end encryption is a building block. It is nowhere near sufficient to protect the communication graph shape from a passive adversary.
@syphdias 1) end-to-end latency on a 33EUR chatmail relay with ~200K monthly active users is sub-second. see attachment.
2) metadata details are here: delta.chat/en/help#message-met… including a note on sealed sender (which btw Signal only does opportunistically by default, and easily falls back to non-sealed)

tempted to ask about tooling details; distracted by a sudden mental image of the curl factory with curlsmiths manually forging code out of furnaces and hammering the last bugs out before dropping the finished binaries into cold stream water.
La Direction interministérielle du numérique annonce mardi devenir le premier État partenaire de la Fondation Matrix, qui est derrière le protocole open source qui fait fonctionner Tchap, la messagerie instantanée sécurisée des agents publics.
„This curl release is being done with the help of AI. While we strive for accuracy and quality, please note that the information provided may not be entirely error-free or up-to-date.“
@pianosaurus @icing it has some truth: at no previous time in history have we had as many people involved using AI powered tools in the curl factory as we do now. Primarily they have been relatively successful in their pursuit of finding flaws and defects in our code.

--- Nabídka již neplatí. --- Prodám zhruba tři až čtyři týdny používané hodinky Garmin Instinct 2 (bez solárního nabíjení). Hodinky jsem pořídil minulý rok, ale nakonec jsem došel k závěru, že si s tímto ekosystémem nesednu, tak jsem se vrátil zpátky k Huawei. Od té doby mi tady jen leží v šuplíku a nemají využití. Mám k nim stále originální nabíjecí kabel, v ceně. Cena: 2000 Kč + doprava. Pořizovací cena byla tehdy přes 5 tisíc. Vzhledem k velikosti není problém poslat poštou. Originální balení už ale nemám. Záruku by taky ještě pár měsíců měli mít. Kdo máte zájem o více info, napište.

First, this is such a failure of an idea because you couldn't even write her name in the first paragraph: you literally referred to her as "widow of the slain..."
