TIL about the European Digital Resilience Index and to the surprise of absolutely no one #belgium sucks : 20th country in the index, no strong point. What is worse is that it's a downward tendency since 2010 and apparently our only redeeming quality is the existence of iMio and the fact that […]

Signal's president claimed it takes billions to replicate the availability and reliability of "hyperscalers" (AWS/Google/Microsoft/Cloudfare) that Signal uses.

#chatmail and #deltachat are about disproving this claim by

1) making relays super cheap (DONE)

2) enabling chat profiles to use […]

It's becoming increasingly clear to me that Reflect Orbital's fucking stupid giant mirror satellite, with absolutely NOTHING useful to offer, which will cause countless safety issues, ecological disasters, and destroy the night sky, is going to launch.

A bunch of astronomers and I have sent out […]

I really don't know how to evaluate the quality of my own writing. *Personally* the Futzing Fraction has gotten some of the most heartfelt feedback I've ever seen. Cory Doctorow cited it quite extensively. I had a friend from *elementary school* reach out to tell me it was my best work. But… […]

I realize that the less I use #gtk applications (because I switched to their webapps or CLI equivalent), the less I get the GTK language.

How should something simple like "Copy the content of this textview to the clipboard" be conveyed to the user?

On the web I know, I've seen dozens of […]

Tiens le #dns de @FDN ne résout pas google.com depuis hier soir que ce soit chez moi ou sur mon serveur (remarqué parce que j'ai un plugin kodi qui ping google pour vérifier qu'il a le réseau).

Et donc G. Darmanin dit que "le français appartient aux Français" et je ne comprend pas comment le prendre au sérieux alors qu'il ne sait même pas prononcer 97 correctement ou faire la différence à l'oral entre "j'irai" et "j'irais".

Plus sérieusement, le français appartient à ses locuteurs […]

Some people in #iran successfully use delta with national email providers when outside Internet is cut.

#deltachat designs are #offlinefirst using delay tolerant protocols. Messages are queued when a path is blocked. email servers are made for this and run at planetary scale.

Apparently, if you have facebook or Instagram installed on your phone, #meta was able to track your browsing habits and link them to your real identity even if you never logged in on the web, used incognito mode or a VPN. I hope Meta gets hit with every fine in the book […]

What do you think are the primary challenges for Open Source the coming years?

Security? CRA? Financing? Maintainer burnout? Recruiting young developers? Adapting to a country-former-ally going nuts? AI slop? AI bot overload? Something else?
