How about changing our messaging to: "Your crippling BNPL debt is a direct consequence of Google, Meta and ByteDance knowing every fucking thing about you"
You're beating a dead horse. There is absolutely nothing you can do that is going to convince most people to use #XMPP because it is the Linux of messaging platforms, It may be better, it may be more private and more secure, but people don't care about that. All they want is something super easy to set up and use, and they want to be on the platform that friends and family are using. And no, they have no desire whatsoever to host a server for friends and family, that's waaaay to complicated for them (even it it literally involved entering one command at a command prompt it would still be to complicated). And they actually trust a big corporation more to keep their conversations private than some XMPP service they have never heard of.
If the day ever comes when they do give a rat's ass about privacy it will be too late because by the the big corporations and the government will already know everything about them. But most people seem to think they have nothing to hide so why should they be concerned about privacy? And if the last election taught us anything it is that far too many people are totally gullible.
Isn't WhatsApp based on xmpp protocol?
The current xmpp client feature set are fractured. e2ee is not on by default either.. my Q is why is there even an option to disable e2ee?. I find that weird in these times....
#XMPP
@Gold gab ich fรผr Eisen @maple @Daniel Gultsch
why?
how is that secure communications, if its clear text? to me, not logical. just saying.
why is the fight over chatcontrol? fight over encryption? so cleartext comms safer? more secure? more private?
we can agree to disagree.
@sammi @maple I mean, not all communications in instant messengers are private talks, one may want to write chatbots, run internal organizational server for work conversations or whatever. Implementation of correct crypto can be an extra burden for such tasks and even its properties, like [overadvertized] forward secrecy, may be not optimal (when it is better to accept the danger of leak rather than loose something).
Finally, don't forget that a plethora of people uses Gmail without any GPG.
And it is not that E2EE is not necessary. Yes it is necessary, and it must be a default setting, but if one wants to disable it for some reason, why not.
@Gold gab ich fรผr Eisen @Daniel Gultsch @maple
why are we conflating email with IM? weird. so are you saying xmpp is like non encrypted gmail?
Are users of gmail concerned with e2ee IM.
xmpp clients feature set are fractured. I tried using cheogram, monocles. for me, my UX was lukewarm at best. so say its fast and light, us it because its missing out the real privacy security stuff to claim its fast and light.
xmpp clients, to me anyway, don't meet my requirements of e2ee by default, e2ee private or public groups.
xmpp may be a standard. that standard is yesterday standard. to me, it hasn't modernised for todays requirements.
its unable to pivot to catch fire against the newer technology that's half its age. why is that? poor governance....
"why are we conflating email with IM?"
E.g. because both are used for communication between people.
"xmpp clients, to me anyway, don't meet my requirements of e2ee by default"
You are not enforced to use them. As #xmpp is an open standard and there are #freesoftware clients, you are free to make one that meets your standards.
@Gold gab ich fรผr Eisen @maple @Daniel Gultsch
I know I'm not enforced to use them. I have decided not to use it as it does not meet my needs as I said. the xmpp clients are fractured, I have no interest in its ecosystem as I don't believe in it. I know, there are those who believe in it though.
if it can modernise itself, I may have another look. to me, it's legacy tech.
@Gold gab ich fรผr Eisen @maple @Daniel Gultsch
I was done discussing this legacy tech, but you keep responding, so I respond back. makes sense, no?
if I want a secure msgr, xmpp clients are not it. if they get their act together, then there is a marginal chance I would look at it again, but by then, I would have moved way on.
You are free to use whatever chat client you want.
#Conversations_im has enabled e2ee by default over 6 years ago. I wrote a blog post about it back then. gultsch.de/omemo_by_default.htโฆ
Aside from that #Conversations_im puts up a big warning signs (red chat bubbles) when messages are received from other #XMPP clients in clear text.

Reminder to everyone: Mastodon counts all links as 23 characters. Even if you use a link shortener.
If you use a shortener, all you do is obscure the link's destination (and make the link dependent on that shortening service). Many of us will avoid clicking on such obscured links. You're almost certainly *lowering* your engagement, traffic, whatever.
Just link directly. It doesn't cost you any characters.
Yikes! Other authors, be very careful and make sure you, or your agent, keeps an eye on contracts! Because mine is more experienced, he spotted the below right away, but keep an eye out for the below.
1. Do not give publishers permission to train their AI on your work, even internally. WTF? A publisher tried to sneak this in!
2. Despite what publishers tell you, demand your audiobook should be done by humans and your cover should be done by humans. Publishers love AI despite what they tell you!
3. Do not let publishers dictate giving you a lower advance *because* you don't have a platform. This is bullshit, especially since they have all the PR connections.
4. Do not let them say anything about how many hours you should spend promoting your book. Make this low as possible or even eliminate it altogether. They have all the PR connections. You don't. Make it their fault you don't make back their advance, not you, because they can decline to publish you in the future and you won't have numbers to prove they failed in PR.
5. Don't let publishers tell you virtual book tours don't generate returns on investment and isn't worth having their publicist do. No, fuck that shit! Because my agent is experienced, he said fuck that straight away! If you want your releases to be virtual, say so!
And finally,
6. Do not let them give you a low advance. A lower advance says they don't have to invest in you as much to get back that investment. They should do the bulk of the publishing work, not you, so always ask for higher advances, always! Even if you don't think you'll make back that advance. Go higher. This will force them to do something about their investment in you!
This is an experiment. Please boost.
Here's the idea: This post is going first to my followers, then, if they boost it, to other people. This domain has been registered for only this experiment. I should see in my web server's logs when mastodon instances start crawling the site for info. Then maybe also some curious humans.
I just want to play with my monitoring a bit :)

Coming to the end of a rewatch of #Babylon5. As I watch G'kar's closing message to Ta'lon (including his mention of what he was like when he first arrivedโฆ oh, memories of the first few episodes!), I suddenly realize:
The two shows are almost completely dissimilar, *but*โฆ his arc reminds me of Eleanor Shellstrop's in #TheGoodPlace. Both have that thing where the person they become by the end has grown *so much*, it's nearly impossible to put into words. It aches.

@DavidGoldfield Just thinking hard about the last few scenes always makes me cry, but I just finished a rewatch of "Objects at Rest" (which got me bawling at the scene where Sheridan and the new crew look at each other through their respective windows as he and Delenn's White Star is about to leave โ Goddess, so much kudos to Christopher Franke for the heartbreaking music!) and am about to do "Sleeping In Light". Again.
I have tissues ready.

is there a bash (or even another shell, but I mostly use bash) feature that defers creation of new files so that this would work:
$ bibtool -s main.bib > main.bib
instead of what I actually have to type:
$ bibtool -s main.bib > bla
$ mv bla main.bib

install the moreutils package and use
