Political power grows from the barrel of f-droid

Spotify has ads? I’ve never paid, I thought it just had to take little breaks after some songs because they were harder to play 🤔

I care enough to laugh at them.

There is also the question of it that was set by court precedent, or settling. I would assume that settling doesn’t effect precedent.

Honestly, only criticism is that this will give a static version. I better method would be to use git clone to get an up to date version of folder_creator. This could leave some lingering git files, so be sure to run rm -rf ~/.* to get rid of anything unexpected and hidden away by git.

Like etcetera? That sounds like that’s just temp files and stuff.

Well we have two Trump victories that say not a significant enough number of voters. The nice thing is that you can still not be the other guy while giving a “why me”.

She didn’t make it to the primary even before she was a certified failure.

Every holy book says its followers are god’s bestest people, it’s just literally just money, you’re being an idiot.

Yeah give them a couple years to “really make a good case” like we did for Jan 6th. Slow bureaucracy will certainly save us this time.

I don’t even talk politics

convenient position for a white cishet christian male in the middle of America with a steady income. 🙄😤

What are the big three, and what is the bar it’s jumping over to be consider big?

There are better ways to make this comment.

XMPP is wildly extendable, my limited understanding is that Jingle is the extension used for this. From the abstract:

This specification defines an XMPP protocol extension for initiating and managing peer-to-peer media sessions between two XMPP entities in a way that is interoperable with existing Internet standards. The protocol provides a pluggable model that enables the core session management semantics (compatible with SIP) to be used for a wide variety of application types (e.g., voice chat, video chat, file transfer) and with a wide variety of transport methods (e.g., TCP, UDP, ICE, application-specific transports).

I haven’t seen anything about the the extrema of the use cases like that, but Movim is working on building out many of the features of discord and it is built on XMPP.

That’s valid, and I think I was coming off a bit of frustration from the previous comment I made in this chain. There are so many new apps that all try and build the features of discord, but always seem to base in closed protocols and so rarely use protocols that already exist, and with that add to the “15 competing standards” problem. Which is why I get much more excited by projects like Movim.

With all of that though, while I agree element has hiccups, XMPP has been around forever and is solid. We saw this with twitter migration too, the existence of other servers makes it seem more difficult, when that’s not really the case. As this video shows, go to the place to want to sign up, give a user and password, confirm you’re human, and use it. That’s already less than the email confirmation of discord.

Googling I got their docs and a github for running through docker, the docs which are empty, and the docker that has the help of claude code.

I try to not poo poo folks working on projects too much, but like why am I here over XMPP or Matrix?

I think generally more positive than negative, but hesitant. There are so many different competing apps and discord copies that have risen and fallen, it’s hard to really get attached to any that have little movement in fighting the network effect.

Seeing it already has the beginnings of enshitification with freemium features, while federation is “in development”, particularly in communities like lemmy the question become why pick this over something that already exists and is an open standard?

Like looking at the “plutonium” page, it’s clear they want to copy the features of discord nitro, and if we are to fight the network effect fight with the energy of discord’s recent fuck up, I would rather land on XMPP or Matrix, if I have any push.

You all are just too easy. I’m the avoidant in our relationship, so she works for it.

haven’t gotten around to trying it myself. But the fact that it’s built on XMPP is cool, and I hate that that all these new clients seem to develop their own new standards rather than build off what already exists.

Sounds like movim as a project has been around for a while, but recently moved to be more discord like in intention, so it’s picked up interest there.

Never stop posting comrade, it shows you in your best light.
