WTF. They can hide them from public view, that would be OK (in a way). But hiding them from the repo owner? Maybe collapse with a comment, so the owner can decide to see them or not (like CW here).
This indeed is ridiculous. Glad I moved my repos to @Codeberg years ago.
we set up a bot that archives all nixpkgs issues and PRs regularly at some point because GitHub regularly deletes valuable contributions from people in sanctioned countries without notice. It's a fucking pain in the ass.
@jelu Moving is not that easy sadly, and I already am short on time to maintain my projects, I don't want to add even more tasks to the todo list.
I can say however that I'm very glad that the IzzyOnDroid team standardized on Codeberg so more and more of my time is spent on Codeberg instead, which is great :)

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.
For sure. The above will only be helpful if the apps are still available and able to be downloaded on users' devices, but that's a legal rather than technical problem at that point.
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. visionaiassistant.com applevis.com/forum/assistive-t…

Is there a contact option to this guy? I locked myself out because I accidentally closed the tab for the verification and now can't enter the code. An email would be awesome, I barely use AppleVis tbh.
@jonathan859 There should be something, but I don't know. I just saw it on AppleVis and provided comments there. I'll ask and if he provides something, I'll post it here.

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.
"this law will ban minors from installing apps like WhatsApp..."
What? I am not a fan of WhatsApp, I use signal, but if such a law bans minors from WhatsApp and pushes all end-to-end-crypted messangers out of europe that would mean that no citizen under 18 is allowed to use a messanger service? Because all alternatives are even more dangerous than WhatsApp and would fall under the same ban.
weren't state threat actors always a part of the model? There's been a lot of careful thought into making sure it keeps working for people under hostile governments, and this has largely been successful.
e.g., Russia sued, DeltaChat fought, refused to put in a backdoor to collect keys, so they said they'd block the messenger. That was around July? They've still been unable to execute that threat.
@feld can chatmail servers be hosted as tor hidden services yet, bc imo if you have to register a domain name to run a chatmail server then the entire ecosystem is very vulnerable to state threat actors
@feld I've never heard of a government failing to block a domain could you explain more how that worked. Also tor traffic can be masked with I think something called snowflake
agreed about the Snowflake and other traffic obfuscation methods, but they require Tor nodes that run that specific modified version of the software and very few do (and also breaks compatibility with normal Tor IIRC). Plus the ones that exist must not be published on the internet so they don't get blocked directly either.
So now you can theoretically access Tor, but only if someone shares with you a private server to use... preferably by word of mouth to not leave a digital trail of its identity
the pluggable transports are for the client to be able to enter into the Tor network from the clearnet and not be detected by DPI, right? But you can't just publish the list of these special Tor nodes or else they can just be blocked by IP
@feld isnt the point of hidden services that even if an adversary has the address the owner is still anonymous. Surely with pluggable transports there is no way for a state to block access to a hidden service
@feld ok I think I learned something that tor obfuscates the identity of hidden services but not of nodes, so nodes can be blocked directly denying entrance to the entire tor network?
yeah that's correct. They use the public list of entrance nodes (Guard and Bridge IIRC) and just block those, then nobody can get in unless they know of a hidden Bridge, better if it has that Snowflake obfuscation capability
meek is new to me, someone commented this on reddit:
> Meek is actually the slowest option and it does go through the Tor network but it uses a Microsoft Azure server as the entry point in to the Tor network to make it hard to block without also blocking other services that use Microsoft Azure.
makes sense. And well, for situations like Russia I'm sure they are getting close to being pissed off enough at the West to just block all of Azure and deal with the fallout. So that thing only works as long as countries aren't willing to cut themselves off from large chunks of the Western internet I guess
@feld Have you heard of meek tor bridges I just learned about them, also wondering how i2p compares whether its more resilient to this kind of censorship
@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.
you'll miss out on push notifications working via Apple/Google because your mail server won't have the script that sends the notification when emails arrive and in the future your server won't support the TURN/STUN required for voice/video calls, but otherwise it will work with your own mail server that isn't a Chatmail server
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? Ich habe diesen Account jetzt geblockt.
Ist halt lächerlich das sowas überhaupt existiert. Öffentliche Posts kann man eh so oder so mitlesen. Und private Posts sind genau deswegen privat? Also ne, Block und weg das Zeug. Hatte meinen Account 'ne Weile öffentlich aber inzwischen wieder umgestellt genau wegen diesen pointless Bots.
With AI reports, there is no one to talk to. No one is offended should you deny, no one happy when you solve a problem. There is only you and the void.
Wild suggestions, had I been in your position, I wouldn't have pronounced or preached a single time about bloody AI, directly and indirectly avoiding it at all costs.
Just to see the reaction afterwards.
You and I know how shitty that stuff is.
How about having some thought experiments? I think that would be fun. 😉

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.
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.
I did something similar for a Distro and changed all occurrences of 1000^x to 1024^x. But also changed the suffixes from KB, MB, GB, ... to proper IEC 80000-13 units (KiB, MiB, GiB).
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.
I boot up Windows and my clock has apparently been set to July 1st 2013. The hell? Around the time I was getting into text to speech content funnily enough.
@BorrisInABox I shut the laptop down, took the battery out (yes this thing actually has an easily removable battery), drained the capacitors, put the battery back in, rebooted and it hasn't happened again.
@BorrisInABox Its not the laptop battery we're talking about but the clock battery on the motherboard. Its almost certainly that battery that was gone. In my case if the machine was powered off for more than an hour it would cause the BIOS to reset. Luckily on most modern systems its only the clock that's impacted.
@andrew Yep. Depending on the laptop, it could be a matter of seconds with no power before the clock is lost, regardless of the state of the main battery.

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.
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.
@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.
