Gajim’s port to GTK4 is almost finished. πŸ₯ Currently we’re testing thoroughly to make the switch as smooth as possible.

We went ahead and made lots of small improvements, e.g. writing messages while offline, better styling for image previews, improved chat filters and more.

Gajim also improved its spam fighting toolkit: The next release will allow you to moderate all messages of a spammer at once. πŸ€–

⚠️ 🚨 It’s time to stop using Blabber.im 🚨⚠️

The abandoned fork of #Conversations_im has a critical security issue: attackers can bypass STARTTLS negotiation, resulting in an unencrypted connection to a fake server. This vulnerability is similar to the STARTLS attack discovered in various email clientsΒΉ

The holidays are often a really tough time for queer, and especially #trans, folks. We fight for family and somehow it always seems to turn into us getting hurt more and more.

This holiday on #StainedGlassWoman, we're holding the Black Sheep close, and talking about the reasons families are dysfunctional.

And no, it's not your fault. It was never your fault.

πŸ†• blog! β€œMobile Phones of Doctor Who - Joy To The World”

Welcome to this very silly series of blog posts where I attempt to identify all the mobile phones used in Doctor Who.

The 2024 Xmas special is fairly light on phones. Right at the end, we see Ruby Sunday calling her mum.

And a shot of the base of the phone.

It looks like it's the same phone as…

We really got the computer-human relationship all wrong: it should be a model of consent, rather than about restraining bolts, governor modules, or the Three Laws of Robotics

I was thinking about this excellent speech by Martha Wells on her Murderbot diaries being stories of bodily autonomy and slavery, and about the fantastic video on The Tragedy of Droids in Star Wars by Pop Culture Detective.

Martha Wells spells out how wrong the Three Laws of Robotics are in stipulating a subservient relationships for robots to sacrifice themselves on behalf of humans, built around fears or assumptions that robots would inherently act to harm humans (or not act to save humans) and that therefore robots should put humans before themselves.

Wikipedia is a problem for Musk/Trump. Not, as Musk says, because it's "woke." Because it's one of our last reliable tethers to a consensus reality. Therefore, an antidote to disinformation.

It's not making anyone money. It's not enshittified. Of course it's not perfectβ€”it's an endeavor of imperfect cooperating humans. But it needs protection and support.
