Sounds like a bad joke joke but the EU governing council wants to once again legislate #chatcontrol for it's 350 million citizens. According to @echo_pbreyer (EU parlamentarian) the legislation wants to force messengers to prevent users from sending images or videos unless they agree them to be scanned, AI-analyzed and potentially reported to police. They apparently want to bring it up for a council vote in two days and get it through parliament in June.

@pocketvj@delta@echo_pbreyer#deltachat does not provide any services, it's technically just an e-mail client. It'd be up to Outlook and GMail etc... to implement such scanning features. And as a user you could add on top of that by encrypting whatever images you send before you even paste them in deltachat. (People mentioned base64, but that's only the encoding, anyone can decode the data, but if that data is encrypted then those politicians still got nothing)
@compl4xx@pocketvj@echo_pbreyer@delta we don't need app stores to distribute software. Anyone can build the source code and there's a millions ways to distribute apps. And anyone could still add layers of encryption even before your data hits delta. It's an endless cat and mouse game.
@AngryAnt By the way, diagrams.net is available as an offline application for Linux, Windows and MacOS. I always use the offline version but sometimes I need customers to quickly draw something for me and then I give them the online link.
While developing firmware I really love to use terminal applications to debug the firmware/hardware.
As a #dotnet developer I get access to this amazing library: Spectre.Console https://spectreconsole.net/
It takes care of almost everything you could possibly want of a console app
@AngryAnt I've used Terminal.Gui as well. Also very nice. It's more difficult to use but even more powerful if you want to build full-blown applications. Terminal.Gui is of the many gifts its author has given the open source community.
Am I the only one who thinks #discord is just one giant mess in which almost everything gets lost in the noise. How did we come to this situation where everyone relies on this single, centralized chat service?
@AngryAnt yes, like #rocket.chat or even #irc, but more and more open source projects, including #godot rely on #discord which is not accessible for a very very large part of the human population....
@AngryAnt Deep Packet Inspection, as soon as it looks like a certain protocol it gets blocked.
Sometimes you can get lucky, it'll work for 20 minutes and then... finished. Right now the only thing that works consistently is delta, since it just uses imap/smtp which is not something anyone wants to block if they want to remain economically relevant.
