Earlier this year we got into a surprising and somewhat annoying struggle with Web browser sandboxing failures related to our "web apps shared in a chat" feature. After much background work we released the hardened Delta Chat 1.36 series, also addressing a dedicated fourth independent security audit, and can finally share more of what was going on behind the scenes delta.chat/en/2023-05-22-webxd…

Delta Chat: Bringing E2E privacy to the Web: 4th security audit 😅

Delta Chat’s “web apps shared in a chat” come with a unique privacy promise but in January it was shown to be compromised. We got into a surprising struggle with Web browser sandboxing issues that ...

“AI threatens to deepen the dominance of a way of thinking that is white, male, comparatively affluent and focused on the US and Europe.”
"An industry brimming with people who espouse liberal, self-consciously progressive opinions so often seems to push the world in the opposite direction."

John Harris interview with @timnitGebru, the Ethiopian-born computer scientist who sacked by Google after pointing out the inequalities built into #AI.

‘There was all sorts of toxic behaviour’: Timnit Gebru on her sacking by Google, AI’s dangers and big tech’s biases

The Ethiopian-born computer scientist lost her job after pointing out the inequalities built into AI. But after decades working with technology companies, she knows all too much about discrimination

Good morning trunkies! The sky is blue (not yellow!), the birds are singing, and I don't feel like hell. I have coffee and drugs in me, just trying to decide how to spend my limited spoons today.

Here's (hopefully) 20 seconds of the birds just givin'er outside my window this morning. (first attempt at posting an audio track)

Just like #Firefox, you can add your own custom start page to #Thunderbird. What are some of your favorite start pages?

(Pictured in our screenshot is Bonjourr. via github.com/victrme/Bonjourr)

Thunderbird email software, with a start page displaying weather, time, a search bar, and a random inspirational quote.

"Válka na Ukrajině po sobě zanechává nejen zpustošená města a zmařené lidské životy, ale také opuštěná, zraněná nebo nemocná zvířata. Domácí i volně žijící. V Záporožské oblasti pro ně vybudovali obrovský útulek, kterému v těžkých časech pomáhá česká organizace Psí život."

Následky ruské invaze trpí také zvířata. Epileptické záchvaty a válečná zranění nejsou raritou

Pegas je se svými sedmi sty zvířaty největším útulkem svého druhu na Ukrajině. Na statku početně převažují psi, ale člověk zde může narazit také na kočky, poníky nebo i divoká zvířata.

"Today, a decade-long (2013 - 2023) case on Meta's involvement in US mass surveillance has lead to a first direct decision. Meta must stop any further transfers of European personal data to the United States, given that Meta is subject to US surveillance laws (like FISA 702). The EDPB had largely overturned the Irish DPC's decision, insisting on a record fine and that previously transferred data must be brought back to the EU."

ENCUESTA | PP y PSOE frenan su caída mientras Sumar y Podemos crecen.

El proyecto de Yolanda Díaz y el partido de Belarra añaden un punto a sus estimaciones con respecto a los datos de abril, mientras la pelea entre bloques se dirimirá por unas pocas décimas eldiario.es/politica/pp-psoe-f…

PP y PSOE frenan su caída mientras Sumar y Podemos crecen

Las elecciones del 28 de mayo configurarán el poder autonómico y municipal y, además, abrirán la siguiente etapa electoral de este año, que desembocará en las elecciones generales de diciembre.

Hoy en el BOE, tenemos algo que rara vez se ve y que está muy bien. Se trata de un acuerdo por el que se reduce la subvención concedida como incentivo regional a una empresa que incumplió, concretamente Cepsa Química SA en Andalucía, por no invertir 17 millones de euros que tenía comprometidos: boe.es/diario_boe/txt.php?id=B…

Aparte de eso, una serie de convocatorias de premios de la AEPD, locomotoras declaradas bienes de interés cultural en Cataluña, la cettrería como bien de interés cultural en Extremadura, información pública de un proyecto de restauración hidrológica forestal de las cuencas vertientes al Mar Menor, y, por último, un montonazo de sentencias del constitucional, que tendréis que mirar si queréis el detalle.

No estaba al tanto de esa faceta de los centros de educación especial, pero tiene su lógica. En todo caso la ley tenía una transitoria de diez años, nada menos, para adaptar los centros generales a la educación inclusiva. Espero que se esté en eso.

Anyway, she's 11 now. Her bedtime is later, and she knows we don't mind if she stays up reading. She still loves books, but there are lots of things – messaging with friends, Roblox, etc – competing for her attention.

At some point, though, she figured out how to check out books on Libby, and read them on her iPad. She doesn't need our help at all.

It's the weirdest thing. Someone must have installed the app, entered her library card information, and left the icon there on the home screen.

Exciting times are ahead! We're starting to see new programming languages evolve the ideas popularized by #Rust. Children of Rust, if you will.

inko-lang.org/

Inko seems to trade off a little performance to get a compiler that accepts more code as valid, but still keeping strong safety guarantees. An easier-to-write language than Rust perhaps.

I'm looking forward to seeing more languages that make coding easier while not compromising on safety and reliability. :blobcatthumbsup:

We shouldn't respect higher menu prices, IMPO. I think regardless prices should be an upfront thing, and the delivery should be higher then. If they get less orders to bad so sad, it's clearer. As it stands, research the restaurant you want to go to, and use the cheapest priced menu option without resorting to premium. I agree generally with cooking and things instead of restaurant food, but lets keep things in prospective and not respect hiding tactics. reddit.com/r/skipthedishes/com…
