If this lands on your feed, tell me about different features that are just missing in Matrix.

It can be anything, but please don't include memes like "unable to decrypt message" or other things that are already in the works, or maybe has already been merged (e.g media captions). Also, no, I won't "just use XMPP".

Some examples include better forwarded messages, rich profiles, or a live location sharing, just to name a few.

(I am writing something about this, boosts appreciated!)

“I have seen the extremely restrictive off-boarding agreement that contains nondisclosure and non-disparagement provisions former OpenAI employees are subject to. It forbids them, for the rest of their lives, from criticizing their former employer.”

Can anyone recommend a good #accessible #RSS feed reader for #iPhone that does well with both text and audio #RSSFeeds? I recently subscribed to The Old Reader (theoldreader.com) and like how it lets you add text RSS feeds, #podcasts, and #YouTube channels, and I'm looking for a good app for it on my phone. I've tried #lire, but it doesn't seem to work well with podcasts.

“I’m a Google Cloud software engineer, and I refuse to build technology that powers genocide [and] apartheid”

Watch the others in the room. The assholes who jeer and manhandle the protestors. These are your peers in the tech industry. These are the “acceptable folks” in tech. Fuck these people.

Look at their faces. They know exactly what they’re complict in. Look at their smug smiles. Dickheads each one.

NEW: WhatsApp will soon make it possible to chat with people who use other messaging apps. It's revealed some more details on how that will work.

— Apps will need to sign an agreement with Meta, then connect to its servers.
— Meta wants people to use the Signal Protocol, but also says other encryption protocols can be used if they can meet WhatsApp's standards
— WhatsApp has been testing with Matrix in recent months, although nothing is agreed yet. Swiss app Threema says it won't become interoperable

Hledani prace me nuti se vic bavit s lidmi o mych technologicko-filosofickych nazorech. Treba na pohovorech. Taky vic ctu, co se kde deje. Abych se na tech pohovorech mel o cem bavit, ze ano.

Diskuze kolem variant ruznych technologii jsou moje oblibene. Jako JavaScript vs TypeScript, CSS vs Tailwind. Pripomina mi to krasnou case-study Yarn vs NPM. Dogmatici na vsech frontach.

Really wish there was a PikaPods but for #YunoHost because PikaPods is fantastic, and I directed so many people to them in the past couple of days. It is a fully managed service that lets you pick #OpenSource stuff to host on your own pod, and you basically pay like $1 but monthly! This is how I'm trying stuff like Audiobookshelf and others. You pick servers locations and sizes and stuff but all the hosting is done for you! pikapods.com/apps #Tech #IndieWeb

Tak jsem si chvilku hral s mapama a lbc.wtf ve verzi nula je na svete. 🎉

Princip je jednoduchy. K postu na Mastodon s hashtagem #lbc pridam text "lbc:LAT:LON". Script followuje hashtag na >c.d serveru a novy post prida na mapu. Testovaci posty jsem otagoval zvlast, abych zbytecne neposilal updaty.

A prace s mapami. Nic moc. Spousta niche hardcodovanych veci. Spousta outdated dokumentace. Je to hold pro lidi, co mapama zijou.

Uz ted mam docela slusny backlog. 🚘

V seznamu projektiku jsem se konecne dopracoval az k lbc wtf. Na to jsem se tesil uz od chvile, kdy jsem narazil na pruvodce po Liberci z roku 1966.

Ted to technicky zhmotnuju:
👉 Vezmu Leaflet a Protomaps vysek Liberecka.
👉 K memu hipsterskemu pribehu na Mastodonu pridam geotag.
👉 Magie zobrazi moje #lbc prispevky v mape na webu.

Lokalni influencer in the making! Dal jsem si vyzvu mit to cely staticky, ale editovat v Nextu DB je pohodlnejsi nez .json na CDN. Tak uvidime.

Youtube's tantrum escalates.

Forced to concede that they cannot outpace ad blocking extensions, parent company Google artificially limits the rate of extension updates in Chrome.

No justification for the user experience is given, and in fact this makes chrome users more vulnerable to attacks injected via ads.

This is the latest #youtube "innovation". #Google with a market cap of $1.7 trillion and $120 billion cash on hand, "needs" to charge for ads on YouTube.

This is, of course, not true. They have more than enough revenue to run YouTube without ads in perpetuity, but they want to please shareholders. The #Peertube community is showing how you can distribute the costs of hosting content as well. If you don't support Google's continued monetization of monopolized video...vote with your feet.

A question to the #Tech bubble: I would like to use #Thunderbird with a bunch of shared calendars over Caldav. I had this issue two years ago and now here it comes again: Thunderbird becomes very slow as soon as all these calendars are added. They contain plenty of events each, many of them are reoccuring and I have tried both with and without offline support and also disabling autorefresh on some of those. I recall that back when I had the issue last, switching the view to show just one calendar at a time would help but to no avail now. Is this something I have to live with in 2023? ###Mozilla #OpenSource


„Es gab keinen Hinweis darauf, dass sie Amerikanerin war. Wir dachten alle, sie sei Irin“, berichtet ein Hoher Beamter der französischen Libération und versichert, niemand habe eine Ahnung gehabt, worüber da eigentlich abgestimmt wurde. „Wir haben erst auf Twitter herausgefunden, dass wir etwas Inakzeptables akzeptiert hatten“.

So Google is now preventing people from removing location data from photos taken with Pixel phones.

Remember when Google's corporate motto was "don't be evil?"

Obviously, accurate location data on photos is more useful to a data mining operation like Google.

From Google: "Important: You can only update or remove estimated locations. If the location of a photo or video was automatically added by your camera, you can't edit or remove the location."

It's enshitification in action.

Not only does Elon Musk not have a clue what he’s talking about, but this is *exactly* what he tried to do at PayPal, claiming it needed a full “V2” rewrite of the code when it didn’t.

Instead, it shifted resources away from key areas, caused PayPal to lose much more money to fraud, and eventually got him ousted as CEO.

Last month, I wrote about Elon Musk’s time at PayPal and how he’s repeating his mistakes from that period: disconnect.blog/p/elon-musk-wa…
