I don't know what people use discord for, honestly. I just call up my friends on signal for the regularly scheduled gaming session and play. All I need is audio.

I don't understand what people need video or screen sharing for while gaming. Are they playing a game watching each other's facial reactions or something? And others talk about screen sharing... Are you guys gaming while watching the other person's screen? I'm puzzled.

Signal can audio and video calls with screen sharing 🤷

Matrix I only use for opensource projects or as a replacement or client for IRC (IRC sucks ass). There was also a time fosdem streamed everything on matrix. It was glorious. I wish more conferences (and fosdem itself) had chatrooms for every talk, rooms for different topics, and a general chat room for everybody. We don't have to fly and waste fuel to participate in conferences. Not everybody has deep enough pockets to pay 2k for a flight to Sydney and a further 1k for food and lodging there. Or worse, a trip to the US to get fondled by US border patrol and sent to Guantanamo bay for having said "Trump is a dunce".

Thanks. That's quite recent. If it's already in Chromium, maybe it has a reasonable shot at becoming a standard. But who knows how long it will take.

Is this for work? Then only use it for work. Don't out anything private on it. No exceptions.

That looks interesting. Any idea how close it is to reality? I found a plugin they have but it does require setting up a test account on their test network. Doesn't seem ready for real world use yet.

A hit piece against UBI that ignores wealth taxes, inheritance taxes, and exit taxes. Worthless.

Interesting. Is steam becoming a generic app store?

Being always hyper attentive and alert definitely sounds good for flu season but not for life long protection. That does not seem wise in the slightest. IIRC that's exactly why we have allergies: some immune responses are always on and over the top against something they recognise incorrectly.

It's not impossible that this will require more energy from the body and lead to marked fatigue in subjects.

I want all of Metz's private messages scrolling by in a live feed.

Oof. Now that feels worse. They should know better.

The strength of the fediverse is exactly this: don't like what an instance admin is doing? Move to another instance or create your own.

Move Godot to codeberg. Github is too popular. It's where all the fool kids go and link their LinkedIn to. It's Microslop all the way down. It's highly likely the number of real contributors will be higher on Codeberg than Github.

Also, doesn't github have a viebcoding platform built into it making it really easy to create AI slop?

Edit: yep they do! Get the fuck off of github!

To make it clear to those who are misunderstanding: that's a list of companies that host matrix for you. They do it at a good price.

If you and your friends chip, it'll be a few bucks a pop per month to have your own private server with voice chat rooms and video chat rooms.

It's all opensource and contributes to the ecosystem. Best of all, no age verification because the data is yours.

This is a question regarding the frontend framework Slint

Let's take a web frontend framework as an example like React, Vue, Svelte, and so on. They allow you create components with their own distinct logic and expose an interface with which parents or siblings can react.

(I don't actually write Vue, this is just an example from memory)

<script>
let status = ref("Unknown");
async function onClick(){
  let result = await fetch("https://somewhere.org/");
  status.value = result.json()?status;
  emit("status", status);
}
</script>
<template>
<button @onClick="onClick">Check status</button>
<p>{{ status}}</p>
</template>

How can this be achieved in slint + another language (cpp, python, rust, ...)?

Say, I'm writing a desktop application and have a window, with a 3 column layout, and somewhere deep in the component tree, I have a StatusButton. This button, upon clicking is supposed to execute an IO call in my language of choice and its parent component should react to that. For the sake of the example, make it an HTTP network request that calls a server, expects a JSON with a status field.

How do I create the StatusButton component and use it in slint?

For what it's worth, I use rust, but whichever language the solution is presented in, it can probably be adapted to work in rust.

What I've found (that doesn't work)

slint::slint!( some slint in here ) in rust. This just moves the .slint file into rust but I haven't found out how to use the new component in a .slint file or in another slint::slint!(...) macro

The examples seem to suggest that any non-slint actions have to be passed all the way up to the main component / app window (see example)

Maybe @slint@fosstodon.org can help?

I was hoping for thousands of responses. The EU Commission better not dismiss it all.

I just ran into the wonderful error message

the trait is not dyn compatible because method publish_video is async

and boy, what a rabbit hole. I found out about async_trait which resolves this by turning async methods into fn method() -> Pin<Box<dyn Future + Send + 'async_trait>>, but I thought that's what the async fn was syntax sugar for??? Then I ran into this member-only medium post claiming

Rust Async Traits: What Finally Works Now

Async functions in traits shipped. Here’s what that means for your service interfaces.

But I clicked through every rust release since 1.75.0 where impl AsyncTrait was shipped and couldn't find a mention of async. Now I'm just confused (and still using async_trait). Hence the question above...

Isn't a "click" just physically making two connectors touch so that a circuit is made to send the signal of an action? There doesn't have to be any noise associated does there?

For example, if we used 2 springs, one to hold up the button and another to make the contact with the circuit, the click would be silent. Or maybe something already exists that I can swap out into my mouse?

I stumbled upon this video and it's mostly about using AI to fight against scammers and hackers that use AI themselves.

Hidden inside Romania is a real cyber-crime-fighting team almost no one knows about: the Draco team. These are elite malware analysts, forensics experts, and penetration testers who volunteer to hunt down cybercriminals. In this video, we go behind the scenes with Bitdefender to uncover how the Draco team helped dismantle massive ransomware groups like GandCrab and REvil, saving victims over $1 billion. We also talk about deepfakes, voice-cloning scams, and multi-platform attack chains in the next era of cybercrime.

This contribution, delivered by Sven Thomsen, CIO of the German federal state of Schleswig-Holstein, outlines the state’s pioneering path toward digital sovereignty through Open Source and Open Innovation. It highlights the risks of dependency on proprietary software - including lack of transparency, inflated costs, and reduced security - and positions Open Standards and Open Source as essential for autonomy, resilience, and competitiveness. The speech details Schleswig-Holstein’s concrete migration from proprietary to Open Source solutions across its administration, supported by strategic planning, procurement reforms, and budget shifts. Initiatives such as the state’s Open Source Program Office (OSPO) and innovation hubs foster collaboration between government, industry, academia, and civil society, ensuring sustainable adoption and stimulating regional economic growth. Emphasizing both national security and Europe-wide competitiveness, the keynote calls for collective action to establish Open Source as the new normal in public IT systems, framing the transformation as a shared European mission for digital independence.

I read an old thread documenting the opinions of Lemmy maintainers an the .ml instance. The issue of funding a project with people openly expressing opinions many find distasteful and it being the biggest reddit alternative on the fediverse came up, so here's a topic to discuss it.

What should we do? What are the options?


Answer: No fork necessary, there are Piefed and Mbin.

PrivacyGuide.net mostly has US providers for these and given the current situation with the US, let's say using US services doesn't feel very private at all, regardless of how strong the claims are.

I'm not looking for total privacy, but just to start being more private until the EU gets its ducks a row regarding payment systems (VISA and Mastercard still dominate and make you transparent or at least translucid).
