They say there’s no good apps for iPhone with OMEMO support
Have you looked at https://siskin.im ?
- If you unsure about an app and OMEMO, see here : https://omemo.top/
Indeed! https://conversations.im has a Donations section.
Nah i am German, so imho I have every right to be majorly pissed off by religion being so invasive that they even enforce taxes unless you take your time and fucking pay money to officially leave the church so you don’t have to pay those cults any money anymore
Organized religion has no respect for anyone, organized religion is the single most horrible thing that ever happened to humanity and organized religion is solely responsible for billions of deaths throughout history, way too many fucking wars and so much blocking of innovation.
Religion doesnt respect women, lgbtq, mentally disabled, people who don’t want to be indoctrined to follow a cult member and, of course, members of other religions.
Tempting to say "Amen" to your comment, but let's say I full agree! What's more, there's countless people killing other people in the name of their God (Why can people not agree that there's just one God, one friendly one, or be free to believe there is none) or being super aggressive and abusive in name of their super special God. Religion has done so much damage for centuries :(
- People should think for themselves! (Yes, Monty Python's Life of Brian resonates here.)
Snikket launched their XMPP hosting in March this year. From the looks of it you can pay for one account where you'd be admin for a group of friends, family and give them accounts.
For Android Conversations is really nice I think. Conversations is available for free on F-Droid but you can support the developer by buying the app on Google PlayStore. Does OMEMO by default.Video calls with Conversations always worked very well for me (but this depends on which XMPP provider the other person uses), better than Signal. There are some Conversation forks on F-Droid as well with different features.
I got a spare RPi3. Seems the hardware support is great, even with wifi. RTC seems to be unsupported tho. Such a shame since I got a DS3231 just for the Pi.
What's DS3231 ?
How’s your overall experience?
So far I've only been using ssh to log in to the FreeBSD stick on the pi4, and have been testing it with a GELI encrypted USB disk to explore that and learn some more, besides using LUKS with Linux. I have been thinking about making desktop backups to the Geli disk via rsync. I find it interesting to learn some more internals of BSD again (like years ago). For example in Linux the default command to check your own local IP address is ip
. The command ifconfig
has been deprecated on Linux. But on FreeBSD and iirc OpenBSD it is - tada! - ifconfig
. I'm curious to have a look at Bastille given enough time.

@amino@fediverse.omaramin.me I fear it is not a joke.
Gnome is great, and I commend the devs for having the bollocks to come out and say “No, we don’t think Microsoft perfected OS UX in the early 90s”, and do something different that works well, despite knowing the amount of hatred and even death threats they’d get for the change.
Good to read your take on that bit of history, thanks. On one computer where I have GNOME, it is really nice and comfortable for what I use it for.

We did not make a technical choice to abandon FreeBSD in favor or something else, we made an organizational choice to abandon external hosting in favor of owned and operated hosting which required a lot of technical changes, one of which was switching operating systems.
I know this is the “wrong answer” but I have always used Twitter to keep tabs on local government agencies, newspapers, reporters, restaurants, bars, events, concerts, sports teams, etc. Not to mention all the accounts that pertain to my hobby’s and interests.
Yes, it's a problem. Even several open source projects use Tw(X)tter as their main outlet. A few years ago one project even used it to share an important security update! They must have posted it in their Discourse forum as well but I don't visit that often. I stumbled upon the important post by coincidence with Nitter (Nitter is declared dead since a few months). Since then, lesson learned, I use some notification.
Really, the right answer here for my needs is that all these groups need to join the fediverse. I just don’t see that happening.
Agreed. Some people stay there because "everyone is there", or their favorite VIPs are there, or people stay there because they think they should fight the bad things that happened to it from within :/ Sad.
Or maybe I should say I wish the “existing platform” of my city government would start their own instance.
That would be cool.Governments, at least in the country where I live in, need to make an effort to be transparent and reach out to their citizens without creating insurmountable barriers.Start an on-line petition and getting people to sign it, and share with the local government ?
it’s also difficult to find content on peertube.
PeerTube has a search engine : https://sepiasearch.org Does that not work well ?
I'd say we don't know unless we ask Netflix engineers but the comments about license look like a good one to me. Then there is in my opinion the "bloated" Linux versus the more clean BSD experience (I am a Linux user and I like to tinker with BSD sometimes). Maybe it is still true that BSD will not run on as much hardware as Linux does but have you ever compiled a custom kernel on BSD and compared it to compiling a custom kernel on Linux ? On BSD it is in comparison much easier and the documentation is usually really good.
The Amazon story is really old and Ubuntu did hear the critical voices and reverted the change. The terminal ads can be annoying on servers but you can turn them off.

If you want to throw dirt on Ubuntu, let's talk about Snaps and the messy Snap Store and how the current Ubuntu site looks like (not desktop user friendly really), and what they did to LXD
Don't know. I guess you could ask the admin of friendly instances, or self-hosted or ask friends to self-host. Self-hosting a PeerTube server is not that difficult and "Big Storage" on-line is not that expensive anymore.
You know that PeerTube has a build-in video import tool ? It can import Youtube / Dailymotion / Vimeo channels or playlists.
https://docs.joinpeertube.org/use/channel-sync
I think that downloading YouTube videos is technically illegal unless you have been the uploader of the videos. But with PeerTube you can create private channels which you could share with friends or maybe even paid subscribers I guess.
Yes. Maybe a nice one for the Phoronix website ? I'd guess that OpenBSD would not score that high. OpenBSD is cool for firewalls and servers with focus on security but not sure about speed.
I understand that many people love Gnome today, but Gnome almost caused me to switch away from Linux because of all the problems they caused.
For all the people upset about the GNOME 2 to GNOME 3 change the MATE desktop environment was started (Launched in Debian in 2013) and it is still alive and kicking :

I like the idea! But from what I've read USA will be able to access EU citizens data even on EU servers maintained by USA big tech companies.That's how USA law works :(
Yes, agreed. But read the other post and this comment : https://lemmy.ml/comment/10590333 I fear that big tech giant products usage is too strong and only increasing. More and more Google and Microsoft data centers and offices are build in Europe lately. More jobs, less nature, more pollution, less digital sovereignty, more dependency on big tech :(
What ?
