Some time ago I have written an article about interesting way to use Strings in #Swift. If you wish, feel free to take a look and tell me what I did wrong.
The same silence you do when a person has a problem with the calendar agenda despite having a paid email account. My response was to stop working with you
It was nearly two years ago that I wrote this article[1] about the EU #ChatControl surveillance directive on behalf of the @cryptpad team.
Very little has changed since then. Experts in technology, law, and policy all agree that the proposal undermines basic European rights, that it will be abused by authoritarian member states, and that the proposed tech solutions cannot possibly do the job the supporting legislators have claimed.
Nevertheless, they have persisted, claiming the support of "expert testimony" that overwhelmingly consists of unsupported claims by lobbyists associated with law enforcement and defense contractors who stand to benefit financially from its implementation.
A vote is expected to take place on June 19th. These have been scheduled and delayed multiple times already, but this it feels like they might get away with it. There is a lot going on in the EU at the moment, and people are both distracted and tired from fighting this for so long.
I'll try to make resistance easier by collecting some suggested actions below, with links.
First, review posts with the #ChatControl hashtag, as there are lots of well-informed people sharing reliable information.
@quincy linked to a directory of the relevant contact points for each EU member state and requested that people write a (polite) letter, so if you have voting rights in the EU that's a good place to start.
As a leading voice of the German Pirate party and a member of EU parliament, Patrick Breyer (@echo_pbreyer) has actively opposed the proposed legislation throughout its lifetime.
He (and perhaps also his team?) have maintained a comprehensive, fact-checked summary of the proposal's status, with a practical "What can you do" section:
🚨 Council to greenlight #Chatcontrol 2.0 next week! 🚨Don‘t let them get away with quietly pushing this through right after the #EuropeanElections. Sound the alarm and contact the representatives of your government NOW!

#deltachat_desktop 1.46 rollout is basically done except for #homebrew and #nix (the Nix package is already in the works, home-brew could use some help)

#deltachat_desktop 1.46.1 is released now on all platforms it includes a few bug fixes. Most notably the startup crash in the macOS appstore version on older macOS devices.
@nick we aim to sync the big versions, but the "patch" version numbers are independent, so iOS, desktop and android have different numbering and releases. See the changelog files in the repos for details of the changes
Dostal som na piču za troch a to som v podstate nič nerobil. Mám za sebou CTčko a teraz neurológiu. Mám rôzne myšlienky ale prvá je že mňa nič nezastaví. Idem pracovať. #dobréRáno
#audiomo Here is a clip of creaking bamboo trees in a #Sydney botanical garden. At some point during the recording I stuck my head in between the stocks to get an inside hear into this rather ghostly sound! Enjoy!
Wow, this is both funny and amazing! I wonder how much time it took to create this piece? Really cool! Thanks for sharing! dragonscave.space/@desertstar8…
#AudioMo 2024 day 15: A day late, but never a dollar short. To make up for it, I'm sharing a fun little number introduced many years ago to an online friend who is dearly missed. I became acquainted with Marcel Oates on Twitter, and spent hours on Facetime with him. He had a sense of humor, a gorgeous voice, and loved to talk all things audio, and of course dogs. When he shared this song with me, I about fell out my chair laughing. I still remember the night I received a text from his sister informing me of his passing. It was actually a rainy night, and I went outside and cried along with the angels, their teardrops falling around me. He was a dear friend who I didn't know for long, but made a significant impact on my life. One of the things I remember is his humor, and his laugh. We spent so much time coming up with funny concepts and scinarios that we wish to record if we could. Enjoy this fun little number, and I hope you have an awesome day!

Today I received what I believe to be the first ever donation to the phonetones project via PayPal. £7 which I appreciate. To my knowledge this has never happened. I've been running this since 2006 on various bits of hardware, it's moved houses probably as many times as I have in the same time. If you don't know what this is, you'll find it at 3.onj.me/phonetones.
If you've ever wanted that one ringtone you could never find, that random alarm or alert that you heard once and have been thinking about for the last 20 years, we probably have it.

Shutting down pride is the wrong response to hate. We have pride because of the hate. If we could hold our partner’s hand, dress as we want, etc, in public without hate, pride would be no longer needed. What the assholes *want* is for us to be too scared to show solidarity with each other in public.
Several people were injured after a “possible chemical agent” was released during the Baltimore Pride parade Saturday evening, according to the Baltimore Police Department.
The other day I was searching for a headset which I could use for work and entertainment, when I came across the JVC gaming wireless GG-01W. This headset, with a few extra features, adds an extra layer of accessibility.
I read _The Unaccountability Machine_ by Dan Davies on the train yesterday and wow. Attempted summary: society is in crisis because our current systems of governance and feedback are unable to hear the signal that is the vast majority of people screaming, "My life is intolerable." This signal gets routed into any channel available: Brexit referendum, far-right parties, protests against masks or wind turbines or housing - anything to signal rebellion

It is fantastic that AI companies can freely scrape copyrighted stuff from the Internet, but downloading of `youtube-dl` is illegal in the whole EU, because Hamburg regional court said so .. 🤦♂️
You may have heard a few weeks ago about a controversial new iPad ad from Apple that upset the creative community, who are usually Apple’s biggest fans. As a blind person, if you just listen to the ad, you can get a sense of it, but this podcast does a great job of describing it, and it’s given me a whole new understanding of just how badly the ad missed the mark and caused offence. overcast.fm/+oXTUGWtyw

@FreakyFwoof thanks for your twitter archive, most interesting. specially when you talked about your vms and all the fun things you did with them, notably getting 3mbps speeds in ie6? it's that kinda content I for some reason enjoy. so cheers again for it onj.me/freakyfwoof/
Of course you should have. I just wonder how you found it. I don't really link to it or talk about it much, is all. It's there on a public server so if you found it, good on you haha
