I don't use elfeed, but installed elfeed-tube just for youtube-with-transcripts :)

Is scaleway an alternative to fly.io, or more an alternative to aws/azure?

Wire seems fine, better than many alternatives, but ditching Signal because of the possibility for phishing seems very odd?

Odd? No, it's normal politician behaviour. Julia Klöckner herself got hacked because she is not aware of phishing. To distract from her incompetence, she urges to switch to Wire to implicitly blame Signal. It's obvious what's going on, but people have so little knowledge about digital communication and security that she will get away with it. Poor woman got hacked by insecure Signal, people will remember.

As an argument, it barely passes initial scrutiny suggesting the real reason is not that.

The bundestags president, Julia Klöckner, was recently a victim of phishing on signal. While there could be different motives behind her suggestion, I think they are just another facet of her not really understanding technology and security practices.

She thinks she was "hacked" on signal, and now wants to switch to something which is clearly better! Let's wait where she will want to go once she gets "hacked" there too...

While there are valid reasons for germans not to want their politicians to use private messenger apps on their private phones for official business, and american ones at that, this switch would of course change nothing about all of these problems. But at least they can claim they did something, right?

Personally, I am starting to think we should ban politicians from using smartphones altogether possibly followed by other technological restrictions. It is part of my: "They Will Hate it: Good" portfolio of ideas to improve the world or at least make it a little more funny.

She's suggesting her own group of contacts should switch to something that makes it easier to intercept her own messages?

Ding ding ding

my kid recently wanted to transfer a picture from an iPad drawing app to a windows laptop, I wish I knew about localsend for that

it'll probably be something we're not even talking about yet - we still have 7 months in which to make the world even worse

I understood that article as there being many bad studies on how much plastics are in our body. But I find it highly unlikely there isn't any plastic in my body, from my toothbrush or chewing gum or water bottle or that old black plastic spatula I fry my eggs with or the air that pushes all kinds of particles into me etc. etc. And studies like your parent comment's https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12692081/ make it seem likely that they could have some negative effect. So I'm not worried about it, but I also find it a good idea to be cautious (maybe I'll avoid heating food in plastic containers) and for there to be more research into it.

ooh so many to choose from ... but what makes them great is actually the integration between them, made possible by everything being a text buffer. gnus, org, wgrep/wdired, occur, consult all work together to improve each other.

"specific" pesticides is a lucrative myth that has been told and sold for a hundred years

Would love to see where the mistral stuff lands.

Also, being from Victor Taelin, shouldn't this be benching Interaction Combinators? :)

I do too. But I'm starting to get some pain in my index finger, so I think it's probably time for me to move on. I hear Framework is shipping to my country now...

I agree the discomfort, or after a while, even the pain when using the trackpoint, is something very noticeable on modern thinkpads. I don't recall being this annoyed with the older thinkpads like T61, x200 and all. Or maybe we are just getting old and more fragile haha
