@Em0nM4stodon same, I really feel the approximate peak of modern technology in it's utility, ease of use, valued cost & lack of privacy invasions, was reached around 2000-2005 ACE. By then we had solid speech/talk to text software & hardware. Mobile phones, including smartphones were durable & had cameras or not depending on your preference. Similarly phones had GPS, & satellite or not. Screen readers were likewise fully developed.

Not everyone needs everything a piece of advanced technology & that's why I would love to see a renewed separation of different devices. Cheap mapping/direction GPS systems, separate from phones, separate from PDAs, separate from cameras.

Speed of doing every tech related task hasn't really changed for most people & if anything it's probably slower due to infrastructure decay.

*As I'm unfortunately continuing to consider which smartphone I should get over the next year & same for my spouse, it really hits me hard how it'd be better for us both if we could just get PDAs, his with a touchscreen & me with a physical keyboard that were 5g enabled.

I used to be excited about new tech and new gadgets. Now I'm just scared it's going to be more surveillance and more AI shenanigans.

long sigh

OpenSSL 3.5.3 introduces a regression that makes ssh break on openssl version check.
https://github.com/openssl/project/issues/1621

If you use Alpine Linux:
- 3.22: make sure you get >=3.5.3-r1
- edge: make sure you get >=3.5.3-r2

Those include backports of upstream fixes.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Non, c’est clairement la #régression au moins perçue, et le « tombage de haut » qui l’accompagne, qui expliquent beaucoup plus aisément la #mobilisation.

Mais si une mobilisation exceptionnelle faisait qu’une politique était souhaitable à appliquer, ou même majoritaire, ça se saurait.

Les gilets jaunes aussi pouvaient se prévaloir d’une mobilisation exceptionnelle. Est-ce qu’il était souhaitable d’appliquer leur projet politique pour autant? ⤵️

One thing that really pisses me off personally is the #regression in terms of #Messenger#Apps.

My personal distaste and dislike for #proprietary, #SingleVendor & #SingleProvider #services like #Signal¹, #Telegram, #Discord², #WhatsApp, #Slack, #MicrosoftTeams, etc. aside:

  • WHY is there no #CrossProvider#Messenger to handle that shite?

  • WHY does everyone of these shitty providers think people want to download their #bloated#WebApp that takes up triple digit Megabytes if not entire Gigabytes and will gobble up all the #RAM and #CPU they can??

This problem ain't new and already got solved for corporate social media ages ago! (Not to mention actually good messengers!)

  • And no, bridgesdon't count!

  • I mean API 0 - style access because obviously none of the platforms will allow, endorse or support such an endeavour and actively fight the developers and users !

So yeah, consider this a call for a @gajim / #Gajim or @pidgin / #Pidginfor garbage platforms!

  • Cuz back in the day we had way worse messengers yet people actually made #AIM, #ICQ, #MSN, #QQ, #IRC & #XMPP work just fine from one single "phat" client!

  • Can we please get that back?

🥳 New Kitten Release

• Fixed regression: Since we switched the h() render function to return a generator (for seamless async support in html templates), two other methods that were calling h() directly – kitten.safelyAddHtml() and kitten.js() – had begun to fail. This was also affecting the fetchiverse, streamiverse, and kitten-chat family of examples.

Enjoy!

(Run kitten update to immediately install the latest version on your development machines. Your production machines will automatically update in the next few hours.)
