#Signal turning into a crypto-ponzi currency scheme?
https://www.stephendiehl.com/blog/signal.html
Surprise!
That Signal:
- isn't really free/libre software (as Moxie denied freedom to redistribute modified version)
- would *never* federate (political choice of centralization)
- updated server software wasn't published
- invaded people's phonebooks
- runs on Amazon+NSA's infrastructure
- is virtually impossible to use out of Google's infrastructure -
- etc.
...didn't seem to be enough to alarm Signal users.

soo.. which browser should i use? they all suck in some way:
chome: lol
chromium: not as bad as chrome for privacy but is so dumbed down it hurts
vivaldi: 10/10 features but chome engine and ui is closed source
firefox: tries as hard as possible to be chrome. engine rewrite was really promising, but it's only gotten worse from that point.
brave: another chrome engine browser!!1
dillo: points for trying to be good, but webshit incompatible
netsurf: dito
$qtwebkit browser: outdated chrome engine
huh using hashtags before checking common usage on the platform was a mistake

@gamey I think you may misunderstand, they are integrating Matrix support natively into Chatty without the plugin. So it will have matrix (and encryption support) out of the box.
@mauro, #SourceHut is amazingly convenient. It's CI/CD service is the number one coolest thing in the ecosystem I've seen so far! Whilst I moved all of my personal projects to sr.ht, some software I contribute to are still on GitHub and I contantly bug the maintainers to use builds.sr.ht as the/an additional CI (sometimes it works, e.g. for #Trio). SSH'ing into build machines, independant jobs and native images for most common distros are so overlooked.

Turns out it was encoding issues. Text encoding issues. Opening the file manually as binary mode before feeding it to ZipFile fixed it.
Anybody has any idea why this is considered by Python standard zipfile module as a bad zip file: https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/8a/bb/488841f56197b13700afd5658fc279a2025a39e22449b7cf29864669b15d/pyparsing-2.4.7-py2.py3-none-any.whl
FYI @gamey, foliate is not yet available in Debian (or Mobian) repository.
@wilkie, have you tried Zig cross compilation? https://andrewkelley.me/post/zig-cc-powerful-drop-in-replacement-gcc-clang.html
no no no @huy_ngo, this is how you get alpine on a phone: https://postmarketos.org/
I suppose I'm not the only one constantly wonder https://whotracks.me/trackers.html

We've got 100+ original #Pinebook laptops running #manjarolinux with #kdecommunity KDE Plasma to donate to a worthy cause. We're looking for a suitable nonprofit.
Help us help others.

Thank you @martijnbraam, this motivated me to try it out for another time and (can't believe I'm saying it) at the moment somehow #sxmo is easier to use than #phosh.
@joeyh, apt's AI reminds me of this: https://social.librem.one/web/statuses/105345125343664847
I have no idea how I solved it, but definitely not by hand. Should have documented it back then.
I made it with half of the code being random hardcoded strings: https://git.sr.ht/~cnx/ipwhl-utils/commit/b085828
Am I cool or what. Don't answer that.

I'm back on track! I released #WhatIP 1.0 powered by #gtk4 and #libadwaita and so far everything looks good! Check it out if you want, you can find it on #flathub here: https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.gabmus.whatip
In other news, the new version of #HydraPaper again with gtk4 and libadwaita, as well as slideshow mode and monitor configuration change detection, is coming soon!
@The_Quantum_Alpha@mstdn.social, I might sound like a dick, but you are not obligated to make an expensive wedding if that's gonna cripple you financially, and even it isn't, spending less on the wedding would save you and your spouse money for other necessities and/or vacations. After all, a wedding is supposed to mark a happy day of your life and set a foundation to your marriage: don't let it have negative effects on your future life.
