Delta Chat<p>Following popular request, here is a proper announcement about editing and deletion of messages available in app stores now. It briefly highlights how Delta Chat actually works contrary to how even some experts thinks it works :) </p><p>TL;DR Delta Chat is not a classic e-mail client. It uses special messages to co-ordinate encryption, metadata and group interactions and now edit/delete. Delta Chat implements a Peer-to-Peer messaging paradigm without any server state. </p><p><a href="https://delta.chat/en/2025-03-26-edit-and-delete-how" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">delta.chat/en/2025-03-26-edit-</span><span class="invisible">and-delete-how</span></a></p>
Ivan Molodetskikh<p>New niri users frequently come from other tiling WMs with static workspace systems. For them, dynamic workspaces is an unusual system, and it can be unclear how to use dynamic workspaces effectively. (Especially until we get an Overview type thing.)</p><p>I figured I'd write a wiki page describing niri's workspaces in more detail: <a href="https://github.com/YaLTeR/niri/wiki/Workspaces" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">github.com/YaLTeR/niri/wiki/Wo</span><span class="invisible">rkspaces</span></a> I also included an example of how I personally use workspaces on niri.</p><p>Hopefully this makes it easier to understand what's going on!</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/niri" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>niri</span></a></p>

Ivan Molodetskikh<p>And another thing for today: finally made it so niri waits a bit for the lock screen to paint before locking the session. This fixes the "red flash" issue.</p><p>Please test this since it's security sensitive. I already caught one mistake before pushing where killing a lock screen, then spawning a new one, would briefly flash the session contents.</p><p>(Note that some lockers fade in from transparency, so you'll still briefly see red, that's just the niri locked session background.)</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/niri" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>niri</span></a></p>
