Believe it or not: #deltachat is growing audio/video calls starting with the currently rolling 2.22 releases ... A few people already had two hour long stable calls :)

Calls are an experimental option while we continue to work on reliability, UX/UI revisions, and configuration of TURN servers […]

What an announcement from #telegram owner Pawel Durov! To provide just a few critical notes, he

- makes believe he is just a commoner, and not the billionaire owner of one of the largest message, media and metadata *cleartext* databases on earth

- skips over […]

I'm officially writing a book!

"Rewild the Internet: How to Resist Big Tech" will be published by Simon & Schuster in NY and Bloomsbury in London.

It's uses ecology to show why we've got such a toxic technology monoculture through almost the whole tech […]

Is there seriously not a single web client that works for mastodon + bluesky?

Openvibe seems like a decent enough client on android although I can't get it working for bluesky, but no web version?

It feels a bit surreal that everyone seems to agree that the world is becoming ever increasingly […]

If you're interested in helping out an #opensource project and use a desktop OS, try out these OS native window tabbing options and let us know whether they're fun to use and work with Agregore.

Good news! Our developments are back into full swing with major new releases expected throughout 2025 🥳

After the shock February dry-up of funding grants we recently secured substantial private donations, substantially helping to hit the ground running 🧡

Interesting that LLM/AI proponents are pushing so hard on that energy topic recently, while at the same time ignoring ethical issues and the fact that models seem to reach a quality plateau. "We're destroying the web but not the planet!" is not a great flex.

i'm very happy to say we officially secured a second @nlnet grant this year, this one is for the development of "MNT Reform Touch", which is currently planned as a 7-inch modular, upgradable OSHW tablet powered by a Qualcomm SoC (probably QCS6490 initially, but will have compat to other MNT […]

Malheureusement je ne crois pas que la gauche progressiste française ait dans ses rangs un duo de la qualité d'AOC & Bernie Sanders. On en aurait bien besoin pourtant...

People on BlueSky think BlueSky is great, and people on Mastodon think Mastodon is great. It's not like you're forced to use one or the other, so what's the problem?

I had to go out to buy a specific version of the iPad in order for my kids to be able to do their homework.

Educational policies aside, it was a sad reminder of what we are losing when we let the web be displaced by propietary apps.

The comments section in https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/1f4sqmd/drew_devault_suggests_rustinlinux_proponents/ about @drewdevault idea to write a Linux compatible kernel in Rust instead of fighting the clown-shoes maintainers is mostly a garbage fire.

Let's hope this will motivate a few […]

Yet another reason why @organicmaps should be a PWA. Last time they got banned from a store, people answered me "But there is F-Droid"...

Own your distribution, use the super power of the web which is to allow people to simply exchange links as a discovery mechanism! […]

Pretty interesting talk about Nostr, how it could evolve, with some comparisons with other social platforms: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUsk7cqZyKU

I don't think I agree with everything in this talk, but it's very level-headed.

And that's why Organic Maps should be a PWA, not a "native" app.
