Google has suspended Element (@matrix) from the Play Store for "Sexual Content and Profanity". Basically same story as with Subway Tooter a while back. Element is to Matrix as Chrome is to the web. Curiously, Chrome is still on the Play Store.

So #imadethis
In the last few months I and some of my classmates have been working on a project management system that focuses on school projects.
The system backend is written in #python with an async #asgi framework #quart-trio. It uses #rethinkdb as its main database, with #ipfs for file hosting.
Any testing and feedback is highly appreciated.
PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/acanban/
Live demo: https://acanban.ga/

the fact that win10 actually refuses to let you shut off the computer *right now* without installing the updates first is perhaps one of the most user-hostile and consent-violating things i've ever seen in software. instead i hard power off, potentially corrupting the filesystem. fuck yourself, microsoft, and i hope i never learn the names of the devs who implemented this malware.
@zwol, I'm a just student who learnt C by myself around five-ish years ago, and the one I picked up was Beej's Guide [0]. It seems that it's still incomplete as of today, but it helped me picked up the core concepts and made me comfortable with it (from casual competitive programming to occational Python extensions). It's short, it's lighthearted, and it's actively updated: it's so different now that I should probably read it again d-;
@ashley, I was curious to look it up and found no paywall at all: https://archivesspace.org/application/technical-documentation
After a qwick glance at the GitHub repositories it seems that both the software and the docs are licensed under ECL-2.0, which is approved by both the FSF and the OSI.

if you have advanced protection on, google will mangle all your emails, even via imap, to rewrite all URLs to the google redirector, breaking email signatures, breaking PGP crypto signatures, et c.

if you want to back up your mail in its original form, you have to do it via data takeout/export.
also google: if you want to export your email unmodified, it takes months(!) because you have advanced protection on.
Nope, @marathon@qoto.org, IPFS solves many problems with the centralized Internet but privacy isn't one.
@huy_ngo, it wasn't *my* word play: torify youtube-dl https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ
am I a fool, who sits alone, talking to the bot? https://github.com/python-trio/trio/pull/1869
Try to torify it, @huy_ngo

J'ai écrit un p'tit article rapidement pour mes ami(e)s et ma famille, pour qu'ils comprennent les enjeux autour de WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram et Matrix, https://mnt.io/2021/01/19/bye-bye-whatsapp-hello/
À destination de ceux qui ne connaissent rien en réseau, chiffrement, sécurité…
Le gagnant: Matrix
@marathon@qoto.org, you can think of it as an alternative protocol to HTTP. Some static sites (or static mirrors) start to be hosted on IPFS natively, in addition to stuff run by Protocol Labs. By accessing IPFS natively, one may skip the gateway which defeats the InterPlanetary purpose of IPFS (e,g, if content is at a close point you can get it from there directly instead of proxy it through one of the few public gate ways).
In shorts, go to ipfs.io and notice the netloc (-;
@gamey, if the entry point (i.e. Python script) is not in PATH, then probably it's because pip by default (since 20.x) installs to user site-packages in ~/.local. I think most distro nowadays default ~/.profile to have ~/.local/bin in PATH but your personal configuration might differs.
@gamey, I wonder what was the exact problem you encounter and if I can do anything to help. The only distro I recall have issues by design with Python packaging ecosystem is NixOS/GuixSD, and it limits to extension modules only (those that are compiled from C/C++/etc.).
@gamey, I used to work on a cursed youtube-dl wrapper that might support some of your use cases: https://pypi.org/project/comp/ It's no longer maintained though due to my lack of interest.
