What you want is a bit contradictory with wanting e2ee.

About this new asyncio.TaskGroup thing, I found this from Guido on the related GH issue* > After some conversations with Yury, and encouraged by the SC's approval of PEP-654, I am proposing to add a new class, asyncio.TaskGroup, whi

Nice! Passing it on a small project I work on I learnt 2 things already: `Path.read_text()` and `with suppress(SomeException): ...`.

You're completely missing the point of my comment. You say "crypto is not as bad as facebook" which is a textbook whataboutism. "crypto" isn't as bad as the Shoah, so what?

by nicoco 4y ago
I think that's called whataboutism.

I think I remember reading a Cobain interview where he stated this sentence was something he often said when he was invited by friends for dinner or the like. I can't seem to find the reference so I may have dreamt it.

I've long enjoyed bridging instant messaging accounts through my XMPP server, ie, logging in to various service from a cheap server in a datacenter, so I'm with you 100%. I'd like to opt of suspicious login for a LOT of servi

You're right, --user seems the default behaviour, I did not realize that. Maybe because it's different in Fedora that I also use? Or maybe I was just plain wrong :) Anyway, I think this does not change the fact that it's a ba

On my debian stable, if I want this behaviour I actually have to add `--user`. But that's not the recommended way to install pypi packages you want to use, with debian at least. This may install dependencies that will break (for your u

Movim is great! I don't even use its microblogging features, but the chat part implements emoji message reactions* which are a very convenient way to acknowledge a message, and a way that everybody understands. It may look gadget-y and

Thanks for the information! I added this to my tracker then. Not sure I'll work on it soon, but at least the relevant links you gave me are stored somewhere easy to find now. https://todo.sr.ht/~nicoco/slidge/

Thanks for the kind words. So, you use Conversations for SMSes too? The SIM card in your phone is just a mobile internet thing, you don't actually use it to make calls? I'm curious about your usage. :)

Nope, didn't know about it. At first glance, it looks like the pypi package is for sending messages only. Since it's all open source, I guess it should not be too much work to get a slidge-zulip plugin working. Feel free to open a

I did not know that, I gotta edit a bunch of replies now, thanks for correcting me. To be fair, one of the reason I use XMPP and not matrix is that I didn't hear about matrix until after I managed to set up my own server and get some o

This seems to still be actively developed and has a quite a lot of people still using it. I think there is some value from XMPP over IRC, but hey, whatever worked for you is cool. What do you use now? https://xkcd.com/1782&#

Arguably, calling other human beings "non valuable connections" does not make the world a better place either.

For signal, telegram and mattermost, I am not too worried since their protocols are documented. Matrix support is planned and should not be too much of a problem either. About the full-proprietary platforms like messenger and discord that a

Slidge can be used to bridge XMPP and signal, and I'm actually more motivated to keep it working with relatively open services like signal than with services from Big Ad. I personally think XMPP is superior to signal, being decentralis

Facebook does not like alternative clients, but this workaround [1] worked for me. Signal is OK, and Telegram actually encourages writing alternative clients [2]. I'm happy to assist setting it up, come say hi on our MUC. [1] https:&#

It's unrelated, except for the fact that I used the reverse engineering of the facebook messenger protocol by the mautrix team [1]. XMPP has had bridges more or less from the start. [3] I may add a "matrix plugin" [2] if I fe

"self-bot" is a weird name for alternative clients in the first place. Preventing spam is obviously their justification for being so strict about it. I believe screen readers are OK, but a Firefox add-on using API calls would be c
