#YouTube making the absolute worst random changes that nobody asked for and that enrage their whole userbase for over a decade (but the users will eat it up and it's gonna keep happening forever because "muh youtube has no alternatives" when there actually are it's just that the youtubers would rather keep sucking NordVPN's dick than start using the alternatives and promote them to their viewers).

A while back I suggested creating a P2P voice/ video calling feature for Delta Chat. Well, good news everyone! #TIL something along those lines has been developed, and is in active testing for a future release;

"Se credete di giocare con le mappe di Instagram, sappiate che è Instagram a giocare con voi.

L'aggiornamento proposto dal social network per avvicinarci ai nostri contatti rischia di innescare un meccanismo inconsapevole di estrazione di dati.

Ce n'era bisogno?"

Il più grande studio del suo genere dimostra che gli assistenti AI travisano i contenuti delle notizie nel 45% dei casi, indipendentemente dalla lingua o dal territorio

Una nuova ricerca coordinata dall'Unione europea di radiodiffusione (EBU) e guidata dalla BBC ha scoperto che gli assistenti AI, già un portale informativo quotidiano per milioni di persone, travisano sistematicamente i contenuti delle notizie, indipendentemente dalla lingua, dal territorio o dalla piattaforma AI testata.

L'intenso studio internazionale, di portata e portata senza precedenti, è stato lanciato durante l'Assemblea Stampa dell'EBU a Napoli. Coinvolgendo 22 organizzazioni di media di servizio pubblico (PSM) in 18 paesi, che lavorano in 14 lingue, ha individuato molteplici problematiche sistemiche in quattro dei principali strumenti di intelligenza artificiale.

Believe it or not: #deltachat is growing audio/video calls starting with the currently rolling 2.22 releases ... A few people already had two hour long stable calls :)

Calls are an experimental option while we continue to work on reliability, UX/UI revisions, and configuration of TURN servers on #chatmail relays and in clients.

We want calls to reliably work across all major platforms, networks and phones, including #UbuntuTouch

Pixel Camera recently added a hard dependency on Google Play services. It still works on GrapheneOS, but started requiring sandboxed Google Play services.

GmsCompatLib version 100 for GrapheneOS 2025102300 or later restores support for Pixel Camera without Play services:
