In den Koalitionsverhandlungen befasst sich die Arbeitsgruppe 9 u.a. mit der Staatsmodernisierung. Wenn dort jetzt die Abschaffung des Informationsfreiheitsgesetzes auf Bundesebene gefordert wird, ist das nicht modern, sondern rückwärtsgewandt. Modern ist ein transparenter Staat. Modern sind die Wertungen der Grundrechte-Charta. Die Konferenz der Informationsfreiheitsbeauftragten in Deutschland (IFK) kritisiert die vorgeschlagene Abschaffung des IFG Bund entsprechend deutlich. Hier geht es zum Dokument. @transparency @transparency_de baden-wuerttemberg.datenschutz…

What the actual LEGO!!! ... You are a f... Danish company. And even if you were a US company, this would be cowardice and unacceptable!

Now it not the time to remove diversity. Now is the time to firmly prove that you stand for it!

I recently developed a thing to turn a Conversations chat* into a PDF.

codeberg.org/moji/typst-conver…

That story began with a friend of mine that had got a XMPP group chat where they shared updates and pictures of their latest travel adventure. Now chat is rather ephemeral and they wanted to preserve those memories in an easy accessible format that is PDF. And so I put something together.

* actually any chat as long as you can get the raw data in the expected format

#typst #conversations #chat #pdf #xmpp


typst-conversations

A parametrized Typst document to visualize a chat conversation with text and image messages — closely matching the design of Conversations.

❝ These men—human beings with names, histories, dreams—were marched through a gauntlet of armed guards, beaten, stripped naked, shaved, and thrown into overcrowded cells. A photojournalist on the scene described watching men age a decade in two hours. He watched as one young man sobbed, “I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.” This man was slapped for his tears, beaten for his vulnerability.

No phone calls. No visitors. No books. No talking. Just exile to a place “so cold and far from home they may as well have been sent into space, nameless and forgotten.”

And all of this—every slap, every sob, every stolen dignity—stamped with American approval. Coordinated with American officials. Executed with American efficiency. ❞

There are no known security issues with "Siacs OMEMO" / OMEMO v0.3¹ despite of what some very loud Signal fans would like you to believe. It has been audited by a third party² who took a longer look at it than all of the Signal fans combined.

Yes, #OMEMO v0.7+ (or TWOMEMO 😜) is a cleaner spec with more features (most notably Stanza Content Encryption). That’s why we wrote it. I’m a co-author. That doesn’t mean v0.3 is insecure.

I wonder if the rest of the Canadian fediverse realize that a Quebec mastodon server (Qlub.social) now has more active users than mstdn.ca

Wild. Qlub was featured on TVA and the Journal de Montreal (most popular medias in Quebec)

Not sure if it will last but will be fascinating to see how that will change the fediverse as the profile of users is quite different.

I get asked all the time why I made the choice more than 30 years ago to run Linux (Unix before that) instead of Windows. Here's reason number 1,000,001 that I am absolutely positive that I made the right choice all those years ago.

Dear fans of messenger comparison sports,

How does it factor in that on #deltachat there are many apps that can be used in a chat without requiring a login or even a privacy policy ... And the apps all work like cryptpad but automatically and without requiring any server side hosting?

Editing documents and checklists and calendars are all safely end-to-end encrypted without a server and anyone can write new #webxdc apps permission free.

Which other cross-platform messenger offers this?

Delta Chat (39c3)

@risottobias @ryanprior

if you like to know about all the gory details of how we isolate apps from getting at any side channels, see this discussion which also includes a security audit by Cure53 delta.chat/en/2023-05-22-webxd…

And yes, it's maybe not perfect, but it's not just yet another web view that has arbitrary access. Also, even if an app manages to break isolation, it has no access to the social graph at all. See webxdc.org/docs/spec/selfAddr_… for what is exposed to apps from the messenger side.
