What licenses are these? I only found apache licenses for the stuff they released. But yes, it kinda looks like open washing, since it looks like keet is open source, but its not.

Yeah, I saw that too, that not the full source code. I found another repository for the android releases: https://github.com/holepunchto/keet-mobile-releases

Again, no source code, just binaries. Rather shady I think…

A thats cool. I used it for a while as a skype(hah!) alternative, but call quality is very low and it has no noise cancelling. Chat works though.

Jami is nice in theory, but it was very buggy for me when I tried it and Jami calls had no noise cancelling at all. Other than that, it does work.

I cant find the “keet” git repo, I think its proprietary. So thats a no go for privacy.

Didnt tox development stop a while ago?

No idea. I use the app Conversations (XMPP+Omemo) and it works great. Only downside ist that you have to somewhat trust the server you are on, because of metadata. But thats basically every chat app.

kinda reads like an advertisement for these heat vision binoculars.

The only DE I know that does that, is enlightenment. I really miss that feature…

This is really great, dont tell this to anyone!

They are still releasing more parts of the Epstein files!

Take the advice of Napoleon: Never interrupt the enemy while they are making a mistake!

You can also use kdeconnect for filesharing in your home network, an it has a whole bunch of other features like mouse control emulation and remote multimedia control and such.

Yeah, I hope someone makes an engine based on this, that seems like a really important step that is currently missing completely.

Sadly no, a search engine has to adopt the index first. So im still waiting for an open source initiative that uses this.

Heres a highlight from the report:

In this respect the Server SoC and Boot requirements specifications have now been ratified and, by the end of 2026, the long-anticipated RISC-V Server Platform specification is expected to be officially ratified. Alongside RVA23, this will define a standardized set of hardware and firmware requirements (covering unified boot architecture, memory management, interconnects, runtime service etc.) for RISC-V servers, ensuring that high- end RISC-V systems can run enterprise OSes and software out-of-the-box with consistent behavior. In May 2025 UEFI published ACPI 6.6, the latest version of the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) specification, which for the first time includes native RISC-V support. This makes it easier for data center operators to deploy RISC-V hardware by allowing RISC-V servers to plug into the same firmware and operating system ecosystem already used elsewhere in the data center, reducing risk for adopters and simplifying deployment and management.

Looks like RISC-V Server spec will include UEFI among other things important for desktop systems, which was my last gripe with the RISC specs. Finally, PC compatible RISC-V that just works?^tm

This is the movie I show people when I want to introduce them to cyberpunk. Its got everything: dark distopian future, cybernetics and transhumanism, rebelling against the system, cyberspace hacking, etc. AND its written by William gibson! Its the most direct adaptation of his neuromancer universe ever put to film!

There is a fancut floating around the net that includes deleted scenes that were rescued from a dumpster. However, in my opinion, the scenes dont add much and slow down the pace of the movie a bit too much.

I personally found Osmand to be horrible UI wise, it was impossible to find anything with the search bar. CoMaps on the other hand, is wonderful, uses a lot less battery charge and the search works great too. Only downside is that I had to install a text-to-speech software seperatly as my phone does not have Google TTS.

Its not DB Schenker, subsidiary of german railways, if thats what you mean.
