As we consider communication services, the importance of privacy and security, I have @Tutanota in mind, but also it feels like Germany is on the fence about censorship/surveillance? (Props to everyone who has been fighting chat control, though. This is a big deal and I appreciate that you've kept it at bay!)

Dear Diary, or whatever passes for it these days:
I'm currently sitting in a park. It's a lovely spring day, with a gentle breeze. The birds are chirping, the air smells clean, and there are some kids playing. It's peaceful. Perhaps it's too peaceful.
I feel like I'm supposed to disturb that peace, perhaps by blowing something up, or setting the grass on fire. I feel like, if I don't do this, everything will remain unbalanced.
Is this normal?

The UK IPv6 Council meeting was held at BT (London) Tower the other day, and seemingly as part of the deal of hosting something at BT Tower is that your stuff gets put on the mini scrolling jumbotron.
I wonder how many people looked up and thought "wtf is IPv6 and this URL?"
Question for my tecnical friends.
Let's say you are creating a project that requires it be protected by a captcha. You have to use a captcha, and there is no way around this. Please don't reply with statements like. Captcha are bad, or don't use a captcha. Thanks. With that being said.
Which captcha service would you recommend and why?
The captcha needs to have an accessibility component or an alternative option for solving, and needs to be simple to integrate.
Free/low cost is probably preferred.

Remember when the Norway fund told Canada to act on climate or lose funding, and Alberta conservatives told the Norweigans to fuck off?
That's why Carney is grovelling for funds to grow Canada's climate villain emissions from fellow climate villains.

For anyone who owns a Zoom H5 Studio recorder, the official accessory pack (Zoom APH-5s) is now *finally* available. This includes a large, protective case with lanyard, a power supply with USB-A to USB-C cable, and most importantly, a furry windscreen that actually fits the very large X/Y microphone capsule properly.
I've tried a few windscreens, and have not actually found one that really fits. Some work better than others, but they're either too small, too large, not the right shape, or some combination thereof.
It only took Zoom six months to sell something that really should be included in the box the way these mics work, but that's typical Zoom, really.

“To our surprise, neither our IP address nor our accounts have been blocked by WhatsApp. Moreover, we did not experience any prohibitive rate-limiting. With our query rate of 7,000 phone numbers per second (and session), we could confirm 3.5 billion phone numbers registered on WhatsApp”

Tomorrow I have to go practice but u know what? Do you remember trains from two weeks a go? There are those trains and should be falling snow too!! Overall it is a nice trip to the outskirts of town and if I can be honest I can't wait tomorrow to go to the school.
edit: my imaginations are like this: make a deal with master from practice so at first semester i will focus to complete documentation (obviously at home) and the second I will make a product.
What the actual f...k? How does a multibillion dollar company like #Meta not mitigate against this kind of historic data leak???

Back in the day at a previous gig I tried and largely failed to convince anyone that sudden upswings in people sharing detailed instructions about screwing around in the guts of the product should be treated the same as sudden upswings in crash rates: a capital-I Incident that deserves near term attention and careful retrospective investigation.
What is this, if not a user expectation going so badly unmet that people are _happy_ to risk bricking their box to fix it?

Thanks to 8 amazing "busy bees" of our amazing community, half of the list at codeberg.org/IzzyOnDroid/Every… has been successfully processed by now. Could we maybe motivate another 8 "busy bees" to help us completing the rest?
1. pick any app you feel comfortable with
2. test if it still works as expected
3. write a short comment (or toot) with your results
4. repeat with the next app if time (and fun?) permits
5. also check codeberg.org/IzzyOnDroid/Every… for more 😉

Dear #IzzyOnDroid community, we need your help for keeping our repo as useful as possible. No tech knowledge needed for this one, so anybody who's got an #Android device and some spare time can jump in here:codeberg.org/IzzyOnDroid/Every…
Are you using any of those apps, or would be willing to install one (or more) of them to see if they are still useful? Please then report there, or here to this #serviceToot – so we can get that issue solved 🙏
Thank you all in advance!

In today's edition of #ChatGPT imagines a non-existent #curl feature, much to @bagder 's dismay...
As passed along by my colleague who discovered this, the prompt included: "find a website that is actually hosted on physical infrastructure in Guam"
and ChatGPT suggested one on #Akamai but then suggested using the no-existent --no-cdn flag to skip straight to the origin. Please don't take this as a suggestion to implement such a feature. 🙂
