Leute initiieren noch OTR Sessions in XMPP Chats. WTF. Aus welchem Jahr kommt ihr? 2005? XD

Welcher Client kann das denn überhaupt noch?

#xmpp

Google had accepted a version of #Conversations_im with address book integration that explicitly asks the user for consent to process the contact list locally on their device before requesting contacts permission. Our privacy policy included explicit wording w.r.t. local processing of the contact list.

However it’s unthinkable for Google that someone would request contacts permission and then not upload them. A few days later they changed their mind and threatened to remove the app again.

What would be the essential features that you would expect in a #team #chat? I mean features that you actually use at work or in association, or you would very much like to see.

I'm asking to check how far we are in common #XMPP clients, but don't hesitate to quote features event if they are already present in some clients.

A bunch of XMPP developers and I (@dino, @Monal, #Conversations_im) will have a booth at the Chemnitzer Linux Tage (March 16th & 17th 2024).

I checked the @gajim issue tracker for PKIX over Secure HTTP (POSH) support and it looks like it was implemented already 5 years ago: https://dev.gajim.org/gajim/gajim/-/issues/9083

But I can't find the setting in the current #Gajim version and didn't managed to connect to my #xmpp server so far which uses "PKIX over Secure HTTP" for ssl verification.

#followerpower, any ideas?

Support for PKIX over Secure HTTP (POSH) (#9083) · Issues · gajim / gajim · GitLab

This makes it possible to use a custom domain with a XMPP hoster without having to accept a self-signed certificate. https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc7711/?include_text=1

^GitLab

Use XMPP! It's totally secure and federated. The only thing you can use it to talk about is how much you love XMPP and how much you hate Matrix.

What is We Distribute, exactly? 🤔

We Distribute is a CC-licensed open media project. It serves as a people-focused tech publication, with the goal of informing and educating people about three things:

1. Decentralized Communications
2. User empowerment
3. The future of the Internet

Most of what we do involves reporting on the day-to-day developments of the #Fediverse. In fact, our articles are ActivityPub-enabled, and integrate directly into the network.

However, the Social Web / Decentralized Social movement involves far more efforts and technologies that we think are also worth reporting on: #Matrix, #XMPP, #Bluesky, #Nostr, #SecureScuttlebutt, and #Solid all bring interesting pieces to the puzzle.

Our ultimate goal is to showcase the ongoing efforts to change the shape and form of the Internet itself, at a grassroots level. Join us on this exciting journey. #WeDistribute

thank you _so_ much!!

I just installed it on my Android phone!

Super grateful 🤗

#XMPP

That's really ridiculous. #Google decided to remove the #xmpp client #Conversations because they think it uploads contact data.

Beside the fact that it doesn't upload any contact data, there are many mainstream messengers which exactly do this, all available on #gplay.

Additionally it seems to be extremly hard or even impossible to get in contact with someone who can explain the decision and revert it.

Such gatekeepers are extremly harmful.

Google has just removed #Conversations_im from the Play Store because they think we are uploading the user’s contact list. We don’t.

To celebrate Conversations being back on the Play Store and to deny Google their 15% cut I made the app free for the next ~48 hours. 😜

If you are new here: Check out #XMPP. It's federated, provider and vendor independent instant messaging. It’s great!

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.siacs.conversations

Or get it from #fdroid - That version even has address book integration and public channel discovery! 😂

Conversations (Jabber / XMPP) - Apps on Google Play

An encrypted, user friendly XMPP instant messaging client optimized for mobile

#Conversations_im, die weit verbreitete #XMPP App, wurde aus dem #GooglePlaystore entfernt. Begründung: Conversations würde die Kontaktlisten der Nutzenden hochladen. Das ist natürlich nicht der Fall.

Und jetzt gehen wir mal alle in uns und denken über #WhatsApp und co. nach.

#Google ist einfach nur ein Scheißverein.

I've just pushed the implementation of a GUI for calls in the CLI frontend of #Libervia

That means that you have a full-featured #Qt GUI accessible quickly from your #terminal to make or receive your #XMPP calls. Can also be useful to compensate for clients missing A/V calls.

Documentation at https://libervia.org/__b/doc/backend/libervia-cli/call.html

It works on #X11 and #Wayland and supports desktop sharing.

Der Zeit erlebe ich Versuche via Jabber/XMPP Adressen von Jabbim.pl zu spamen.

Noch jemand ähnlich Erfahrungen. Mein Acc ist ein @jabber.ccc, daher die Fragen ob das noch andere beobachten und ob man den Server Jabbim.pl, ich nutze u.a Blabber.im, ganz sperren kann, statt nur der einzelnen, kontakaufnehmenden Acc., sperren kann.

#ccc #xmpp
Gerne boost ;)

BTW: Die Texte und accountnamen der Spammer sind vorwiegend russisch. Und möchten scheinbar XMPP Kontakte verkaufen...

I made a bridge from #XMPP to the protocol that pagers use (POCSAG 📟), which at least I think is cool 🙃

The live demo is on display at #FOSDEM today if you happen to be there (K building upper floor, in the Realtime Lounge).

We also have a phone with a JID that you can call. I mean a *proper* phone! ☎️

Going to write a blog post after #FOSDEM2024 about how it was all done.
