I feel like this could go really well together with Piet.
Just imagine; an album consisting of a bunch of Velato programs with Piet code as the artwork.

Well, the first tests for interconnected communication with WhatsApp were done with Matrix, so that’s a safe bet.

The first official implementation of directly connecting WhatsApp to another chat system - using APIs built specifically for purpose instead of third-party bridges - was indeed done against the Matrix protocol, as part of a collaboration in testing ways to satisfy the interoperability requirements of the EU Digital Services Act.
So not a case of a third-party bridge trying to act as a WhatsApp client enough to funnel communication, but instead using an official WhatsApp endpoint developed - by them - explicitly for interoperation with another chat system.

I think the latest update on the topic is the FOSDEM talk that Matthew held this February.

Edit: It’s worth noting that the goal here is to even support direct E2EE communication between users of WhatsApp and Matrix, something that’s not likely to happen with the first consumer-available release.

To be fair, I’d consider a silent assassination to be nowhere near as aggressive as a full frontal assault.

With how much security they’re speaking about, it does makes sense that even “low-aggression” unlawful activities would still potentially involve a whole bunch of combat.

He won’t be allowed to perform at Eurovision with the Windows 95 name/trademark/logo, so it would be hilarious if he switches to a name like Linuxman during it.

Version requirements? No rules!

Well, there are people running Linux in all manner of ways, like VRChat shaders.

This looks really odd in relation to other fediverse software; Why /magic and required to be on the root of the domain? Why hard-require routing the domain part of the user ID when .well-known/webfinger exists? Why is there a X-Open-Web-Auth header which the spec only describes as “its purpose is unclear from the code”?
So many questions.

I definitely like the idea of distributed sign-in, Solid did a decent work of that many years ago after all. This particular proposal just looks rather odd.

If you build a linked list in C, and put the pointer to the next entry as the first element in your struct, then you only need a single variable (and two comparisons) to do sorted insertion into the list.

Why is it .jpg and not .jxl? That’s the registered extension for JPEG-XL.

The built-in Firefox support is only activated for unstable builds, so you can’t enable it on stable unless you manually enable it during compile-time.

Here’s a .jxl JPEG-XL upload I did on Lemmy three days ago;

People really have no love for JPEG-XL - though to be fair that’s mainly Google’s fault at the moment.

You could also just run IMAP/JMAP/SMTP as separate components, I can’t see any place in the Stalwart documentation - or in the Docker image itself - where monolith is the only option.

I haven’t tested the setup myself yet, but me and another root are planning on testing a setup of Stalwart to replace a semi-broken IMAP/JMAP setup for a computer club, keeping the SMTP as is.

Haven’t really used any proper JMAP clients - since the setup is broken anyway, so mainly just curl.

I personally use ~/.bin for my own symlinks, though I also use the user-specific installation instead of the system-wide one.
I wouldn’t guarantee that any automation handles ~/.local/bin or ~/.bin either, that would depend entirely on the distribution. In my case I’ve added both to PATH manually.
