Signal President Meredith Whittaker warns AI agents embedded in OSes are eroding end-to-end encryption's real-world security, despite its mathematical soundness. With root-like access to messages & data, they bypass E2EE isolation—urgent rethink needed! 🔒🤖❌

올해 @UbuConAsia 2026 은 @COSCUP 과 함께하게 되었습니다 :) 요 몇년간 행사가 성공적이고 계속 성장해 오긴 했지만 한국에서 먼 곳에서 개최했던지라 뭔가 꼭 오시라고 하기 좀 애매했는데(?) 올해는 가까운 대만 타이베이에서 열리니 시간 나는 분들은 꼭 참석 해 보시면 좋을 것 같습니다! 두 행사를 한번에 즐길 좋은 기회네요 :) discourse.ubuntu.com/t/ubucon-

UbuCon Asia 2026 to be held at COSCUP 2026 in Taipei, Taiwan

After many discussions within the committee, the UbuCon Asia Committee is glad to announce that UbuCon Asia 2026 will be held at COSCUP 2026 in Taipei, Taiwan. We have been coordinating closely with the COSCUP organizing team following their successful collaboration model with Ruby Conf Taiwan 2025. The teams had time to align on partnership terms and logistics. After a meeting with the COSCUP team on January 5th to discuss how we can collaborate, and our internal team meeting on January 25th...

if this means that linux no longer has to deal with the manual installation of nvidia drivers for games, this is a very big deal.

[edit: maybe not so much. turns out this version of their app streams gpu from the cloud, it doesnt manage the local drivers for you like the windows version does]

Dear friends from outside the Twin Cities: Did you know that when the Feds detain you without cause at Whipple--protesters, observers, citizens, non-citizens, doesn't matter--they release you into the cold with no coat, no phone (they keep your phone--why???), no way to get home. You could freeze to death out there. But fortunately a group called Haven Watch is waiting, a bunch of volunteers who usher released detainees into their warm cars, give them coats, burner phones

Oh quirky and learned Mastodonians, I come before you with a dream. Funded by the Canada Counsel for the Arts, I’m researching Friedrich Dulon and Maria Theresia Von Paradis, both 18th century European musicians renowned in their time, and both Blind. I’m looking for info about a German translator and writer of the time, Pfeffel, who was also Blind. I’d love to find some of his fables in English. Dulon met and admired him, and Leopold Kozeluch created a secular cantata for Maria Theresia von Paradis, setting Pfeffel's German text ("Ich war ein kleines Würmchen") to music. If anyone who likes digging and is multi-lingual could uncover this piece of music or his fables in any form accessible to an English speaker, I’d love to be able to incorporate it into story writing, storytelling, or even singing. As a Blind person myself I'm really interested in bringing their work to life for a modern audience, but I'm mono-lingual, and a terrible researcher. Please boost for reach.

this contest culture thread from yesterday really reminds me of how much I loved the Recurse Center social rules recurse.com/social-rules, it feels a lot of them are tricks for combatting contest culture and making a space that's good for learning
