If you listen closely to the Starlink satellites as they go overhead, you can hear them cry out “nationalize meeeeeeeeeee”

@dbread I don't know, but have you looked at FluffyChat? Source code is hosted on Github and is available from F-Droid too. See here: github.com/krille-chan/fluffyc and other client alternatives here: matrix.org/ecosystem/clients/

Why We Built Wormhole - Wormhole

I thought I've seen a where they said they use in the background, but don't find it anymore...

@MikaKpk yeah.
That's because of Apple's Assholeism!

Otherwise shit like #Dropbox would've never been founded or funded at all!

#Wormhole tries to do a direct #P2P connection but it still needs some #Internet and is also #centralized #SingleVendor / #SingleProvider and thus bad.

It is said, the new Ubuntu file selector dialogue finally has image previews in the file picker #2304

As having Element App performance issues, I am looking for a alternative to Element App for Matrix chat on my Android phone. Only in f-droid of course.

Found Schildichat and Syphon.

Any suggestions before I jump into the void?

Introducing Bark! Low-latency multi-receiver live-sync lossless audio streaming for local networks. It's like Sonos, but open source, so nobody can brick your devices remotely. It's also written in Rust :)

It sends 48khz uncompressed float32 data over UDP multicast. It can achieve playback sync to within hundreds of microseconds in ideal conditions, and usually to within a millisecond.

I've been working on it in my spare time over the past week, and I'm pretty happy with how it's shaped up. I have three receivers setup and it works remarkably well at keeping everything in sync as I walk around my house. For now it only really works on Linux, and supports Pipewire (and Pulse in theory), but there's no huge impediment to making it truly cross-platform.

It also features a fancy live stats subcommand, which can used on any computer in the same multicast domain to watch the status of the stream cluster:

Starting with version 116, #Firefox will drop support for macOS versions prior to 10.15 as well as Windows 7, 8 and 8.1. This has understandably annoyed a few users so let me explain why we're taking this step: the maintenance burden of supporting several versions of each platform is very significant. I'll show you how much by citing three platform-specific bugs I've worked on over the past two years. 🧵 1/13
