Hi, everyone. My name is Jean. Looking to connect with people here! I will follow you back! :D

Recently finished a PhD in cybersecurity, but quit academia right away. I just can't work there lol. I work in data by day, but Im a fulltime human rights activist and have spoken at various fora against digital dictatorship and BigTech's regulatory capture. I am a socialist and I have been for awhile now. I am working closely with various grassroot movement particularly within the digital rights/labour space.

I am into FLOSS, #privacy and #humanrights. I have foul mouth and I own it. Outside of my activism, I enjoy walking my dog, Heidi, #vegan food, gaming, programming #python, #dadjokes and makeup.

Hi Gajim,

Does Gajim support SRV entries with _xmpp-client._tcp names?

My XMPP server domain is chat.between-us.online. I have an SRV record that looks like this from dig:

_xmpp-client._tcp.between-us.online. 300 IN SRV 0 5 5222 chat.between-us.online.

If I try to register an account in Gajim (Linux) using chat.between-us.com, it finds the server. But if I just use between-us.com, it doesn't find the server.

I think I'm doing everything the way the prosody documentation explains it for setting up an SRV record.

Is it me? Or does Gajim not look for the SRV record this way?

Thanks for the help!

"We constrain our imaginations when we subordinate our creations to names owned by fascist tycoons. Imagine the author of a book telling people to "read my Amazon". A great director trying to promote their film by saying "click on my Max". That's how much they've pickled your brain when you refer to your own work and your own voice within the context of their walled garden. There is no such thing as "my Substack", there is only your writing, and a forever fight against the world of pure enshittification."

Leo que la Universitat de Barcelona abandona Twitter y se pasa a Bluesky. Me hace recordar una idea salvaje que lleva rondando mi cabeza mucho tiempo: ¿y si cada universidad española tuviera su propia instancia? ¿Y que cualquier persona con correo de la uni pudiera tener cuenta en ella y participar en el fediverso?

Que eso tendría pros & cons, está claro, pero para quienes potenciamos nuestra rama divulgativa... buah 😍

I'd love to know if your political stance has changed at all over the past 5 years. 🗳️

This isn't about whether you're on the left or right on the spectrum, but more about how your position has shifted.

The poll is multiple choice, so I included a checkbox for people to tick if they live in Europe 🇪🇺

#poll #politics #EUpol #Europe

• ⬅️ I moved left. (52%, 116 votes)
• ➡️ I moved right. (2%, 5 votes)
• ⏸ The same as before. (31%, 70 votes)
• 🇪🇺 I live in Europe. (51%, 114 votes)

Did you know you can use ActivityPub with static site generators? Well anyway, we made space to help ensure it's possible during the standards process! This is one reason there are two fields in ActivityStreams, both `id` and `url`, and ActivityPub supports both

So you can have a static site and have an AP account which aggregates said posts, allowing users to use simple static sites but offload the pubsub work

Answer: “zero trust”

Question: “how much confidence do you have in people sticking crap straight on the internet and hoping that access controls work effectively?”

#Bonsai I worked on today. Happy with how it looks for the time being. Spring will call for a little more wiring and some defoliation.

I don't like that people don't mask, but I find it so disrespectful when I see pictures with unmasked people surrounding a masked person.

Like... come on.

TFW scammers can better craft a Phishing email with plain text alternative than the real thing.... except that they miss the phishing link in plain text...

It smelled phishing. Turns out it really is.

En el tema de x, bluesky y el fedi me parece interesante el concepto antropológico de cismogénesis. Se trata del mecanismo por el que una comunidad se divide, estableciendo diferencias en la conducta o el sistema de valores para constituir su identidad como distinta de otros grupos. Es algo que se ve claramente en ciertas reacciones de polarización política. El ministro de Consumo dice que hay que reducir el consumo de carne y de repente a la derecha le encanta la carne, no como un valor espontáneo sino como una forma de marcar su diferencia.

Twitter y el fedi tuvieron un proceso de cismogénesis hace mucho tiempo, mucho antes de que Musk lo comprase. La identidad del fedi se fundó sobre valores diamétricamente opuestos al Twitter de entonces: centralizado, normativo, viral y liberal. Frente a esto el fedi se constituye como una contracultura de la descentralización, las relaciones a escala humana evitando la viralidad y la influencia de los famosos, y con tintes comunistas o anarquistas.

La cismogénesis entre X y bluesky surgen de un cambio significativo en la identidad y la valencia que para muchos tenía X y la ruptura tras la compra de Musk. La huida a bluesky se plantea no como una ruptura, como el fedi, buscando una identidad distinta y, desdes sus propias coordenadas, progresista; sino como un acto de nostalgia, o recuperación de un pasado mejor. La identidad que bluesky se está creando es la de ser el Twitter de antes de Musk, como negación de X.

Por eso hay una inevitable fricción entre bluesky y el fedi: tenemos un autoconcepto distinto y un sistema de valores que surge de procesos casi opuestos. El fedi es decir, "Twitter es malo, quiero construir algo mejor, ingobernable, fuera de la lógica del mercado, y a escala humana." El bluesky es decir, "X es malo, pero el Twitter de antes era bueno. Quiero volver a lo que había, con anuncios, periodistas, famosos, políticos, y algoritmos, pero sin la deriva facha de X."

Inevitablemente estas dos posturas no concuerdan, y creo que por eso hay una fricción entre ambas comunidades, que también sufren su propia cismogénesis (por ejemplo en el modo en que en el fedi se refuerza el valor de consentimiento por opción para todo, descentralización, o ausencia de publicidad y vigilancia, como diferencia con bluesky).

Los valores que se adquieren por cismogénesis pueden no ser espontáneos, pero no son menos reales una vez que se asumen socialmente. En buena medida una comunidad tiende a converger con las historias que cuenta y se cree sobre si misma, y esto hace sugerir que, a corto plazo, el ambiente en el fedi y bluesky continuarán divergiendo.

The OQLF commissioned a survey to show that the majority of Quebecers, particularly young ones, think they're a waste of resources.

Majority of Montrealers 'not bothered' by lack of French in stores, OQLF finds

Survey findings suggest Quebecers aged 18 to 34 are more flexible, showing a greater acceptance of bilingual or English interactions.

Me having to touch #Python and #Ruby again at work today after a blissful week of working on #Rust PRs 🙃

#programming #coding #jokes

I did it, it's out!

This is a labour of love and fighting against my own self deprecation.
I've been told my whole life that I was tone deaf and a terrible singer.
I had to push myself real hard to start getting singing lessons at 39 years old, and publishing this song, knowing that it's not perfect.
I still hate the sound of my voice, and I know that I can do better, but I needed to let this go and move forward.
