#FluffyChat is now given a proper #IntegrationTests setup via MR gitlab.com/famedly/fluffychat/….

The changes include:
- testing full features against all homeservers (#Synapse, #Conduit & #Dendrite)
- normalize the app's behavior independent of platform (currently Android FLOSS, Android proprietary and Linux supported)
- set of built-in helpers in order to simplify user login, logout or bootstrap processes in all future test cases

Platform-specific workarounds just took around 30 h of work.

La propaganda y la desinformación crean alarma sobre un problema que no existe: la Okupación

#Microsoft 365 - #Datenschutz in Absurdistan - sehr treffender Kommentar von Holger Bleich in der aktuellen c't:
"Es ist absurd: Auf die Pfoten bekommen eher all die Kunden, die Microsoft 365 einsetzen. Unternehmen etwa können ihren Beschäftigten keine schlüssigen Informationen zum Verbleib der Daten geben, weil Microsoft als Auftragsverarbeiter diese nicht vorhält. Deshalb verstoßen sie selbst, nicht Microsoft, gegen die #DSGVO.

@Bubu Fair point, and I get that. Before I got a car I was surprised at people who choose to use them in a city – why would you choose to sit in traffic when you can take a bus to the metro station and so on? I was surprised at their choice, and they were surprised at my surprise.

And then I got my dad's old car (I wasn't really asking for it, but there it was), and my perspective has changed - even in the big city, it is *so much easier* to get to places (that aren't the city center in a rush hour, obviously). Visiting friends from the other side of town becomes more viable, and going outside of the city becomes as easy as going around inside of it.

I'm with you on the space-waste though – it's absurd how much car-first the infrastructure is, and the closer to the center you get the more human-hostile it becomes. I blame the existence of rush hours for this - everything needs to be overbuilt to support the load at peak (and storage at non-peak). I was hoping the pandemic and the rise of remote work will ease this somewhat, but it appears to have become even worse now (possibly with some help from the immigration waves we got recently).

Esto es demasiado brutal. Parece ser que en África hay pueblos enteros que se tenían por analfabetos, porque no saben leer ni escribir en el idioma oficial del país. Pero resulta que hace siglos aprendieron a usar el alfabeto árabe para escribir en sus idiomas locales, y lo llevan haciendo de forma discreta desde entonces. Y es que hay hasta poetas y eruditos "analfabetos" usando este sistema!! Parece que nadie les había preguntado.

One of my few New Years traditions is to read and share the New Years wishes from @neilhimself. Here's the one from 2014 (Be Kind), which seems extra appropriate this year on social media, and the one from 2011 (Make Mistakes), which is my favorite.

You can read them all at journal.neilgaiman.com/search/…

A new year means new works entering the public domain – which means a new Public Domain Game Jam!

Since the last few official #Matrix holiday updates didn't mention as many of the cool community projects as I would have liked, I tried to work with the community to publish a community side review of 2022 as well as possibly some small teasers of what 2023 will bring. There are a lot of very varied updates, since everyone seems to have tackled the challenge differently, but I hope you you enjoy the result as much as I did: blog.neko.dev/posts/matrix-yea…

The CDC's new policy to test international travelers from China for COVID is racist and will likely increase racist and xenophobic anti-Asian attacks - which have been happening throughout the pandemic - and does nothing to stop the COVID variants currently spreading in the US.

This policy is a continuation of long-standing discrimination in the United States against people of color, where anti-Asian racism fuels medical ignorance, placing blame on Chinese people for the failings of the US. Read "The long history of anti-Asian hate in America, explained" in Vox for
background - t.co/qvAuNKS016

These travel restrictions, much like the South African travel ban earlier this year, happen even while the US and European countries are having COVID surges, suggesting COVID is only dangerous when it comes from China or other non-European countries.

If this were about collective safety, all international and domestic flights would require negative COVID testing. Mask mandates (with high filtration masks) would return. Not only that, but one negative test without any isolation protocol will not prevent transmission.

This policy is ineffective and only serves to point the finger at who is to blame.

The house is aflame and the US government is more concerned with scapegoating someone lighting a candle than actually putting out the fire.
