What if a state tries to mandate us as #deltachat app devs/distributors to shut down a chat profile?

Nothing. It can't be done.

We have no list of chat identities, have no handle or data about them, and don't mediate the message transfer.

However, EU #Chatcontrol politicians and Russian authorities would want us to insert backdoors into our FOSS code. But that is nothing than can happen overnight, and we are fine with friendly forks already. Resilient private internet communication ftw :)

Tech people talk about tech too much.

I really really REALLY want to use all the awesome privacy friendly FOSS (and similar) stuff, but I am not a techie person! I don't know how to program, nor do I want to.

And every SINGLE time I try to find out even what thing (OS, program, app, service, etc) to use, let alone how, and I search for it... I get techie-focused answers.

It's complete gibberish to me! Absolutely useless. It makes me feel actively unwelcome even though I really care about using alternatives to Windows, Meta, X and other dystopic nonsense.

For example: I'm like "How do I start a non-enshittified group chat to talk about a thing?" and all the results are technobabble to me. I don't even know if the words they use are supposed to be normal english words or if they refer to orgs or groups or apps or some weird coding wizardry.

I am so lost, every single time.

I stick with it though. But like. I wonder if the tech people realise that this is happening???? Because they probably understand what they're talking about. And they seem to not realise that not everyone does.

I'm not trying to blame or shame anyone or even complaining as such (a little bit complaining, ngl), mostly just giving feedback. This is not an issue with a singe thing but with ALL of it as a whole! Including #GNU #Linux the #Fediverse #Matrix and most #FOSS apps.

My sincere wish: Give non-techie people an EASY TO FIND and easy to read and easy to understand and easy to implement guide about how to use the things as an alternative to using big corporation services, ie, "I just want it to work" and not have to worry about the technical side of things. (examples in thread)

One way we work on making #curl code safer (with fewer mistakes) is by using more helper functions and fewer direct calls to *alloc() and mem/strcpy().

Since reported vulnerabilities generally are really old, we can't know yet for several years if it actually has the desired effect.

I plot the memory call density to see how it goes.

On Friday the Government of Canada released this position paper on Digital Sovereignty.

I would love to know what people think.

We wanted to provide an update on the abrupt loss of Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) funding that occurred in April, which represents 90% of the Braille and Talking Book Library’s operating budget.

Taking this moment to slow clap for all the idiot blind people who voted for Trump a second time. This is what you gave us. So much winning! I hope you're happy.

Über die letzten Sonntage habe ich mal einen kleinen #Kopfhörer #Test gemacht.

Zum Vergleich hörte ich immer wieder #Infidels.
Das ist für mich eine der schönsten Platten von Bob #Dylan.

Musikalisch gefällt mir das darin zu hörende (wohl?) elektronische Schlagzeug, aber auch manche Gittarrenakkorde.

Und besonders sprechen mich bei Dylan natürlich so Zeilen an, wie

"Standing on the waters casting your bread" oder "Take the motherless children off the street and place them at the feet of a harlot" und und und...

Aber, ja, Kopfhörer 😉
AKG K 530 LTD: Verwaschener diffuser Klang, das Schlagzeug kommt überhaupt nicht akzentuiert.

#JBL 650 BT: Nicht schlecht, aber ich fühle mich etwas eingesperrt.

#Beyerdynamic DT 770 M: Habe ich jahrelang beruflich in Studios benutzt, empfinde seinen Klang jetzt aber regelrecht hohl wie in einer kleinen Kammer. Wahrscheinlich umsomehr, weil ich unmittelbar vorher diesen probierte:

Die absolute Überraschung! Der wohl 30 Jahre alte

#AKG 240
Durchsichtig, akzentuiert, nicht nur gute Stereobreite sondern irgendwie ausgewogen rundum lokalisierbare Klänge, Welten entfernt von DT 770. Klar ein wenig Bass muss man per EQ dazugeben.

Natürlich ist das immer subjektiv. Und seit ich schwer erkrankt war, traue ich nicht mehr wirklich dem, was ich meine zu hören. Es kann von so vielen Faktoren abhängen, wie man akustisch wahrnimmt.

Aber es war für mich eine Überraschung, mit dem ältesten Kopfhörer, den ich hier zu Verfügung habe, ein so frisches Klangbild erleben zu können. Wahrscheinlich hat er damals so um die 240 D-Mark gekostet...inzwischen sind die Alu-Sticker mit der Typbezeichnung abgefallen... aber der Klang 👌

Time to introduce my last new project for this year:

«Zeroform» ... is a tool for generating minimalistic, self-hostable forms, with a twist: It can generate both static (html/css/js) and/or dynamic (php augmented) online forms.

My main motivation for zeroform is to create tooling that helps me gather more precise feedback while designing and developing (especially) #faircamp and #hyper8, and to do this in a way that reflects the values of those projects: Independence, simplicity, minimalism, freedom from maintenance, absence of tracking, etc.

Basically you start with a thought, put it down as a plaintext blueprint of the form/questionnaire/doodle/survey you have in mind, zeroform turns it into finished code and design, you can upload it, use it as long as its useful/needed, and then you can just delete it.

Think of it as your own google forms, without bigtech, without dependence on any infrastructure besides the cheapest of hosting plans, commissioned and decommisioned in a mere minute.

I'm now one week into the project, since today I'm developing in the open at codeberg.org/simonrepp/zerofor…, and I will put it to use in the next days already! I have roughly one more week reserved until the end of the year for making this usable for the general public - I'll announce when it's ready. ʕ◜0ᴥ0ʔ

Hay una cosa que me encanta de @delta y es que te permita usar tu propia clave GPG de cifrado, o exportar la que te crea si no le proporcionas una propia.

Creo que XMPP debería implantar algo así, me parece vital tener el control de la claves y además mejoraría la "sincronización" entre dispositivos
