@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!

yes, we are engaging in various cryptographic hardenings currently, and will post about it around release times. But #chatcontrol raises quite different massive challenges, especially in combination with the #appcontrol that Google and Apple are normalizing, which in turn Russia, the EU, China and the US are happy to enforce and to tap into.

A new, bold, and fresh attempt at utilizing AI to provide accessibility features for pictures, surroundings, text, or whatever comes to mind, in the form of a progressive web app. The first beta works surprisingly well. Check the following link to get started on your iOS or Android phone, and do visit the provided AppleVis link to send feedback to the dev if you're into it. I suggest reading the AppleVis post first.

Almost 2 months on #PixelWatch and I have to say that I'm unhappy about the fact that there are almost no 3rd-party apps for the watch existing, and the Google apps are almost useless. The Fitbit integration is basically all I use, and checking the time of course. Seeing the weather or vibrating the time is useful, but I hoped for way more use cases honestly. For example listening to a podcast or YouTube in bed, at least some way to control my Tidal...
TBF: sideloading APKs is fucking cool, I have got Eloquence on there, and should probably do it with more apps, but idk it's not been the burner for me considering the price.
Now looking at the app store where many apps have at least some small Apple Watch apps... Well well, it is how it is right, who knows what's going to come. Also at least we had WhatsApp first. And it's quite useful.

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.

What happened today? Behind closed doors, the Law Enforcement Working Party group approved the revised Danish Chat Control compromise with broad support. While mandatory scanning had officially been dropped, Article 4 of the new text reframes and reintroduces it by obliging providers of e-mail, chat, and messenger services to take “all appropriate risk mitigation measures”. This effectively forces providers to scan all messages, including private, end-to-end encrypted content. The same article outlaws anonymous communication by requiring every citizen to verify their age before accessing a service, kneecapping whistleblowers, journalists, political activists, and people seeking help who depend on anonymity. Article 6 further imposes a, digital house arrest and would ban minors from installing software which comes with a significant risk of grooming, such as WhatsApp, Instagram, and online games like Roblox. What happens next? The legislation now moves to the Coreper (Committee of Permanent Representations) for approval. Without major political objections, the Council will formally adopt its position. At this stage, both the Council and Commission unite in imposing mass surveillance on all 450 million citizens of the European Union and we enter a rushed trilogue. Unfortunately, while the mandate of the European Parliament does not suffer from the same flaws, the Parliament is traditionally known for giving in. What now? We raise our voices. Louder.

@venelles You can already use your own mail server. On the first screen click "Create new profile", then "Use other server" and then "Classic email login". There you can enter email address and password of an email account to use it for sending and receiving chat messages. We recommend using a separate inbox (email address) for chatting and not the same that you use for "slow" email, but otherwise using your own mail server is fully supported.

Ich habe hier eine Followeranfrage von #Awakari. Das scheint ein Service zu sein, über den Menschen mitlesen können ohne selbst zu folgen. Das Folgen übernimmt dieser „Service“ und die Leser bleiben dann anonym.
Ich weiß nicht, wie ihr das seht, aber ich finde sowas geht gar nicht. Wer mich lesen möchte soll ds offen tun. Oder bin ich da zu empfindlich?

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?

Lessons from teaching 100+ people to use the OpenStreetMap FOSDEM 2026

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.

#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.

Quem acompanhe as 5 principais empresas do S&P500, incluindo a Microsoft, a Open AI e a NVIDIA já percebeu que há um carrossel, que vai estourar. Nada disto é investimento seguro e é feito para continuar a fazer parecer que estão a acontecer coisas na IA e atrair investimento por parte dos accionistas. As empresas de IA não fazem lucro. É só despesa. Só há especulação, em nome de um potencial benefício futuro. Entretanto, o gasto energético e o impacto ecológico são surreais.

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.

As it is still dark these days when I ride to work I noticed how many car drivers are just watching instagram while driving.
Not only while waiting for traffic light or in a jam. While actually moving on the street.
Not passively, but they are actively swiping for next videos and stories.
Not only some bolt drivers, but also dads and mums having kids on back seats.
The phone is shining and it's clearly visible through rear window. It's just addiction as any other - dangerous.

Parsing integers in C

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.

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...

Mr. Greeb

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

I definitely know that I live in a bubble by being here on Mastodon and following the people I follow, but nonetheless even with my friends that are not tech savvy or don’t care/know about Linux, all the recent megacorp tech announcements have been met with lukewarm reactions at best, skepticism, and sometimes disdain.
The AI fuelled emptiness we’re experiencing is affecting everyone, alongside the realization that even “good” companies don’t step it up and stand for what should be normal
