They're just little guys. You can look at them for free and you can look at them up close if you pay for Bird Premium (binoculars or camera). They're just doing behaviors. They will never email you.

As for the new `turso` Rust crate, I'm keeping an eye on progress but it's still maturing. Once it's stable this would probably be a new project anyway, `ecto_turso`, as it will probably be distinct and have more features, especially in the cloud syncing area.

Good news, `ecto_libsql` already supports both of those! Vector search works today via helper functions, see hexdocs.pm/ecto_libsql/... and hexdocs.pm/ecto_libsql/... Full text search is also built into libSQL so you can use it directly with raw SQL (CREATE VIRTUAL TABLE ... USING fts5).

It eventually will be, yes. Turso (the company) is writing turso (the Rust rewrite of SQLite), but it’s still in alpha pretty much.

Thanks Petar! I’m building this as a side project for another side project I’m working on, as I wanted pretty much exactly that—Phoenix LiveView running distributed and accessing distributed libSQL data stores.

In my opinion Google & MS have done enormous amounts of damage to the web in various ways, maybe more than Apple. However, having now finished reading your original piece, I do agree with some of your reasoning from your point of view in the world of web standards.

I’m enjoying your rant, but the weapons-grade irony of this article, written from your POV as ex-Google Chrome and current-Microsoft Edge, is really quite something to behold.

@jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social @lopatto.bsky.social @tinanguyen.bsky.social Uh, this really doesn’t look good. Short story: Signal chats on the Defence Advisor’s phone appear to be being backed up by a third party app to a tech company run by Israeli ex-intelligence staffers. On purpose.

And this is the management bio of the company. In conclusion I think this company seems to have direct access to the US national security advisors classified messages and NOBODY IS REPORTING ON IT???

So this is the app he appears to be using which already sounds incredibly suspect in that all of the normal security guarantees about signal just went out the window entirely. This is explicitly backing up all messages to a 3rd party

I saw this story breaking about Mike Waltz and noticed something weird about his phone in that he isn’t actually using “signal” as in the secure messaging app but is using something MUCH worse that I haven’t seen reported on yet. Quick thread but it’s an Israeli intel guy behind it

You should know that a big part of 18F's work was to make sure multi-million to multi-*hundreds*-of-millions dollar contracts at fed *and* state level didn't go to shitty enterprise IT consultancies that *repeatedly* delivered tech that didn't work, was late, or didn't even do what it needed to

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

We're not done yet | 18F
