Vinz_··on X's new "encrypted" XChat feature doesn't seem to be any more secure
I apparently did, although I still struggle to understand what the joke is, to be honest.

Thank you for at least explaining that I missed a joke, it’s a lot more helpful than downvotes. (I’m not complaining, I don’t really care about internet points, I was just confused about what I did wrong) :)

> Dubbed "XChat" (not to be confused with the venerable Linux/Windows IRC app of the same name)

It’s not the same XChat

Because in a lot of cases, the driver isn’t in the correct place, and so if you have their location you can easily tell them how to get to you. I’ve had multiple deliveries where the Uber Eats app just could not tell the driver the correct location for my address, and I wouldn’t have been able to tell the driver how to get there by just them telling me where they were.

It's for the Gemera, which is an hybrid hypercar.
Vinz_··on Redis is now available under the AGPLv3 open source license
> This achieved our goal—AWS and Google now maintain their own fork

So the goal was to no longer have any contributions from hyperscalers to Redis? I don’t understand this, when the first paragraph complains that they weren’t contributing enough. Redis has burned a lot of goodwill in the open source community, and yet another license change doesn’t inspire much confidence in the future either…

Vinz_··on Linkwarden: FOSS self-hostable bookmarking with AI-tagging and page archival
The first version was released in July 2023, I don’t see why this would shut down in two months.

This comment makes a lot of assumptions but does not substantiate any of them, please refrain from dunking on other peoples projects like this, it does not contribute anything to the discussion.
