@delta : With #ChatControl as a very possible future here in the #EU, do you have any updates on implementation of:
- on-device #encryption against #ClientSideScanning
- #PerfectForwardSecrecy
- #PostQuantumEncryption
If not, what can the community do to help you with these three points?
Each of these are so critically important for secure messaging apps.
Thank you for all your work!

Denmark and other EU governments still pursue #chatcontrol.
They still want to permanently legalize client-side scanning but postponed making it mandatory.
They also want to increase age-verification controls which risk to ruin what little is left of privacy in current digital spaces, taken hostage already by US corps.
Ourselves? We double down on providing the most private, reliable and fun messaging experience, with a growing federating #chatmail relay network across the globe.

I just submitted a talk for the Geospatial room at #FOSDEM. It's about #OSM. Do you think this would be interesting for the audience?

It started as a simple idea — teaching colleagues how to use OpenStreetMap. A few sessions later, more than a hundred people had learned not just how to map, but why it matters.pretalx.fosdem.org
#Spotted While Roaming in Aotearoa New Zealand:
A tiny human (2?) has spotted Mum's cake on a cafe table.
Ahh...
Mum is distracted talking to a friend.
Hmm...
If he just climbs on this chair...
And then onto the table,
And then SITS on the cake...
She'll never notice, right?
(She notices.)
A woman (60s?) pulls over and offers a lift to an international student walking down her quiet inner city street.
It's bucketing with rain and he at first looks confused and then accepts gratefully.
They zoom off down the hill into town, safe and dry.
A young human (8?) has spotted a shopping trolley parked in a no parking zone.
This is clearly NOT correct.
Scowling, he marches forward and stomps it back to the trolley return before rejoining Mum with a vindicated air.
Not all carpark heroes wear capes.
A tiny human (1?) is sitting on Mum's knee while Mum talks to friends.
Tiny Human is watching the faces around her intently, mirroring their expressions.
First a frown.
Then a smile.
Then a BIG chortle when everyone laughs.
She's getting the hang of this!
A wiry man (60s?) in a plaid shirt, jeans and work boots is waiting in line for coffee, talking on his phone. He says: "Ya right love? Flat tire? Yeah. I'll be there in a minute. I'll get ya a coffee and'll come sort it out. Don't you worry. Love ya."
He hangs up and orders two coffees to go.

Bitte spült mir keine Posts in die Timeline, die als Bildbeschreibung "Bild" stehen haben!
Leider können wir uns nicht darauf verlassen, daher würd ich vor dem Teilen immer einen kurzen Blick in die Bildbeschreibung werfen.
Klar gibt's unterschiedliche Vorlieben bezüglich Länge und Detailgrad einer Bildbeschreibung, aber eine Bildbeschreibung zu fälschen und nur ein Wort reinzuschreiben, ist einfach nicht ok.

In the standard libc API set there are multiple functions provided that do ASCII numbers to integer conversions. They are handy and easy to use, but also error-prone and quite lenient in what they accept and silently just swallow.daniel.haxx.se
@siracusa The thought “You two should be in a podcast episode together” popped into my head and I had to write this to get it out. I know it’d be interesting talk, and I have no idea which directions it would go in.
Just leaving that thought here, kthxbye

Nestáva sa často, že by som bol kritickejší než tu Ivan, ktorý tento ďalší pokus (koľký už?) o špicľovací zákon rozobral na šróbiky.
Pre mňa je tam ešte jeden červený vykričník navyše (ktorý v článku možno iba tušiť):
Ak už raz budú mať možnosť takto špicľovať, bars aj pod "vznešenou", a možno spočiatku aj úprimnou (byť naivnou), snahou bojovať proti CSAM, čo im, !technicky!, zabráni začať hľadať čokoľvek iné? Protištátne reči, zakázané názory, protiústavné pohlavie...
Na Slovensku o tom už vieme svoje.

When is that bubble gonna burst anyway?
In the span of 5 years we got:
Cryptocurrency
Blockchain
NFTs
Metaverse
AI
All technologies that came up by promising great revolutions and people empowerment and what they do was just boosting criminal activities, environmental catastrophes, and money laundering
Some bubbles take longer to burst than others, and some are simply more in plain sight than others. The 2008 financial crisis was because of a scheme that had been going on for years and years — but mainly bankers and investors knew about it. However, even though it was a slow burner, the scheme was ultimately founded on hopes, wishes and fairy dust.
What makes a bubble is not how long it takes to burst, but its foundations. The focus should be on the consequences of it bursting.
Located in Zhaoqing, Guangdong Province, China,
it is one of only about 200 identified craters worldwide
and is very young in geological years.
Based on measurements of nearby soil erosion,
it likely formed during the early-to-mid Holocene
—our current geological epoch, which began at the end of the last ice age about 11,700 years ago.
With a diameter of 900 meters, it is the largest known impact crater from this era
—far exceeding Russia's 300-meter Macha crater, previously the largest known Holocene impact structure
