XMPP Vs. Matrix users in c/[email protected]

[–] F4rtEmp3r0r 1 points 2 years ago

XMPP still needs group calls before I can recommend it as a serious alternative. Also stickers and custom emojis would be a nice to have.

Probably the New Democratic Party, being a social democrat and all.

"I'm not going to use Linux in the workplace because there are isn't the software I need for it"

"We're not going to port our software to Linux because no one uses it in the enterprise"

The cycle continues...

Matrix support in Thunderbird in c/[email protected]

Wish they would implement support for OMEMO in XMPP as well but this is cool too.

EFF should have a presence on the fediverse. in c/[email protected]

[–] F4rtEmp3r0r 6 points 3 years ago

Totally agree. It's the exact same problem when you see everyone at the Linux Foundation using Macbooks. If you really believed in a platform you would make some attempt to use it yourself.

Dolphin, a simplified Misskey fork in c/[email protected]

[–] F4rtEmp3r0r 1 points 3 years ago

Misskey has too much going on. It's very disorienting. A simplified version would be perfect.

Pjuu? in c/[email protected]

[–] F4rtEmp3r0r 1 points 3 years ago (1 children)

I wonder if it will be able to communicate with the fediverse at all.

"Dependable Debian is like a rock in a swirling gyre of 'move fast and break things', and version 11 is no different" - The Register in c/[email protected]

Debian is terrific. Been using it for years now.

Debian Votes to Issue No Statement on Stallman's Return to the FSF Board - Slashdot in c/[email protected]

[–] F4rtEmp3r0r 2 points 4 years ago

As far as I know the goal of Debian is not to attract the most users but a certain set of values.

The Debian Free Software Guidelines explicitly prohibits discrimination of the people who use their software regardless as to what their values are. They are writing software in the public interest which presumably means that they want the public to use it. Other than ensuring those who use the software are abiding by the license it's licensed under there is nothing the project can do in terms of selecting who uses it.

If RMS is incompatible with these values

The values of free software? I think over the course of his entire life he's demonstrated that he's entirely committed.

Debian is political

I agree, but the only politics that really matter are those of computing freedom for all.

Handholding social (alternative Pleroma frontend) in c/[email protected]

Isn't that basically Soapbox-FE by Alex Gleason?

Linux Stops Reverting Most University of Minnesota Patches, Admits Good Faith in c/[email protected]

[–] F4rtEmp3r0r 1 points 4 years ago

Plus at least this time it was just a university conducting an experiment. I'm sure there are more serious attempts at compromising kernel security by entities like the NSA.

Nice to see the people at Debian are finally smartening up. Why bother with these kinds of things when there's nothing to be gained other than losing a portion of your users and developers.
