New: A Conceptual Model of ATProto and ActivityPub
You might want to know a little bit more about how #Bluesky and #atproto works, without needing to know all the technical details. This is a high level overview of how to think about how atproto works, and how it differs from #ActivityPub.
It is also a reflection on the concepts of decentralisation and federation, and what they bring to both the #fediverse and the #atmosphere

Gajim is currently migrating from GTK3 to GTK4. 🔧 GTK is Gajim's user interface toolkit. It provides building blocks, like windows, buttons and labels. 🧩
Version 4 of this toolkit brings performance improvements to Gajim, e.g. faster rendering of user interface elements. 💨 Additionally, switching to GTK4 allows Gajim to use newer widgets, like nice drop downs. Here is a quick peek at a new group chat "@ mention" widget. 😎
will the GTK4 migration fix the endless issues like lagging or freezing with large messages, refusing to connect for no reason, taking ages to synchronize all chat history at once on startup (and lagging my entire system in the process), not having working calls, using an outdated version of the OMEMO spec and numerous other UX problems it has?

If one used K-9 now updated to TB 8.0, will it receive updates? Or will the release have to be installed? Will all accounts have to be entered anew? Or migrated?
@erAck I was not aware that K9 is "Thunderbird Beta for Testers", uninstalled it to install the real "Thunderbird: Free Your Inbox" and now the K9 settings are gone. Thank you.
@fernsehchat @erAck This was a metadata slip on our part. K-9 Mail will still be its own app on F-Droid and elsewhere, and the fix should come in the next few days. Sorry for any confusion!
Hello dear K-9 users!
You probably got a suggested updated for K-9 to "Thunderbird Beta for Testers".
This is just a metadata issue, which displays a wrong name and icon. The update itself is K-9 in version 8.0.
@tinx Thanks. So to add to the confusion there's a release 8.0 of both, TB and K-9, and K-9 has an updated UI that looks like, well, TB, or effectively is TB ... or what?
@erAck so this is the story in short off the top of my head (and apart from the recent metadata mixup): K-9 partnered up with the Thunderbird team and the app got an overhaul. So effectively, Thunderbird for Android is K-9. However, they promised us that we K-9 users would not need to switch to TB, but if we wanted to at some point, there would be an easy way.
@erAck @tinx There is an easy migration: Update to the latest version of K9, install Thunderbird, and select "import from app" or something like this, I think it is the third option. You can then select K9 and all settings and passwords are imported.
Is it normal that the app icon doesn’t change when I just upgrade from K9 (everything works perfectly well otherwise, and UI is a bit better; thank you!)?
@mcepl Hmmm! Did you download and migrate to Thunderbird for Android, or just update K-9 Mail? They're separate apps (but right now, the code is the same! Just different branding.)

Ui-wooo! Hetzner is one week late with their Halloween "prank": 3 maintenance windows in a row, November 6, 7 and 8. We hopefully won't be affected for the full time (they wrote "just a few minutes") but of course cannot tell *exactly* when. So some time within those windows.
Again, only the primary servers are affected. Our mirrors will still be available to you for app updates and installs.

🎉 Aufregende Neuigkeiten Wir haben endlich #Tammy veröffentlicht - ein komplett neuer #Matrix Client: tammy.connect2x.de
Tammy wurde von Grund auf in #Kotlin Multiplatform entwickelt und ist ein neuer, innovativer Matrix Messenger, der für Desktop (Windows, Mac, Linux), Mobilgeräte (derzeit Android, bald auch iOS) und Web (in Beta) verfügbar ist. Tammy basiert auf unseren robusten SDKs und ist ebenfalls Open Source!
Dann halte ich mal die Daumen gedrückt, dass sie Perspektive bald™ sichtbar wird! Ein guter Matrix-Client fehlt hier einigen, die jedoch Google & Co nicht gern in ihrer privaten Kommunikation sehen 😉

Um, so I'll need a sighted person for this, but could someone look at my blog's home page & let me know how it looks, please?
