Interessante Perspektive 🤩
Good news among the bad news!
If the recent #0day attacks against Linux kernel+servers were launched against #chatmail relays, privacy of chatting with #deltachat is preserved. Why? Because we already assume the server could be actively hostile, and still not read or see any avatar, names or messages.
Since the March 2.48 zero-metadata releases relays/servers do not see cryptographic identities, and get no chance to launch "machine-in-the-middle" (MITM) attacks.
Delta Chat: Zero metadata, group descriptions, native audio/video calls and much more!

Selling books is how I pay the bills and keep the lights on, and as ever, this is the only way you can get a major publisher's ebooks and audiobooks with no DRM and no "terms of service." These are truly ebooks and audiobooks that you *own*. You can sell them, give them away, or lend them out - so long as you don't violate copyright law, we're all cool:

@halcy I don’t know, that looks pretty complex, even if it seems to be all reals

No és gaire científic mesurar interaccionant amb el sistema que mesures fins al punt de canviar-ne el comportament.

It came out *great* (as always!), thanks to the terrific direction of Gabrielle De Cuir of Skyboat Media and editing from Wryneck Studios' John Taylor Williams. Gabrielle's directed all my audiobooks since 2017, and John's been mastering my podcasts since 2006 (!!), so we constitute a very well-oiled machine.

I don't make that kind of money from these Kickstarters, but they do *very* well nevertheless, and they're a critical part of my family's finances.
The Kickstarter is live for the next three weeks:

I'm also raising money for the Electronic Frontier Foundation, the nonprofit I've worked at for 25 years. EFF is the oldest, best and most effective tech rights organization in the world, and its mission has only gotten more important over the years. EFF's outreach folks are offering a special membership package for backers of the Kickstarter, which includes an EFF hat and stickers, as well as an Enshittification pin and two Enshittification stickers:

Instead, I'll be posting the contact details for every bookstore that's hosting me on my tours (US in June, UK in September) and you can order signed copies from them, which I'll personalize after my events there so they can ship them to you.

@EUCommission Very cool! But Lisbon to Vienna? We don't even have Lisbon to Madrid, which I really hope we get soon!
Twenty-nine percent of companies that laid off workers after implementing LLMs have already rehired them. More than half did so within six months. One in three spent more on restaffing than they ever saved from the original cuts.
This is not a technology story.
This is an organizational infrastructure story. And once again, nuance gets forced into binaries.
