Oh CRAP

Critical Raster Angle Protrusion

What they are trying to say is that open source and libre solutions have rendered their investments shitty.

The fear of doing a major release is crazy here.

matchd comes with systemd so yours is bloat

Yes, I was thinking… How much tax on Google will force it to get out? I’d say it’s definitely a lot more money.

Also, what’s interesting is that… If Google got kicked out… Nothing would happen. There’s libre software for everything Google does.

Let me stop you right there: the chances of Jellyfin going rogue are much smaller. It’s libre software. It’s GPL. It’s copyleft. We are pretty much safe.

What s the Plasma version?

I do use Signal. Everyone should have Signal for telephone contacts. But for the other stuff… I’d rather use a decentralized system.

Actually, I’ve tried DeltaChat, and it does seem to do everything right. It still needs some features, but it’s advancing fast and it’s already pretty usable, and device sync is amazing.

In terms of Matrix, yeah it’s not the best experience right now, but I guess it can still be fixable. XMPP has just too much technical debt and fragmentation, it seems.

Aside from that, it makes sense that it took Signal a while to get the sync feature because Signal ONLY stores messages locally. XMPP stores them on the server. I would expect to be able to access that information from anywhere. What’s the point of doing so anyway? Let me at least import the keys so I can unlock those messages. But it seems like you can’t.

Then losing all your project’s history, while also forcing you to stick to a single, unofficial (because there is no official) XMPP client for the rest of your life because there are no standardized multiplatform backups. I’m sorry but no.

You may call it a feature. I call it a huge fat bug.

That is very sad. I’ll be migrating out of XMPP. It’s intolerable that one cannot recover messages that are still there; or that even moving from one client to another implies you lose all of your history.

Yes, but also, your Taler wallet stores value too, I guess.

In any case, I wonder why Taler has not made it a point that they are (or could) be a payment system for the digital euro.

Could you expand?

It won’t be great if non-libre payment systems are still the rule.

I have seen 0 articles relating GNU Taler with the digital Euro, and I am very worried this incredible project will end nowhere. Because the digital Euro is definitely coming and that would be the moment to put Taler to work.

There is a Lemmy version of the same community, I won’t link to it just in case, but it’s very easy to find.

It’s not as active, but if you are going to reddit, make sure you come back and post some info to ours!

The day the browser comes back to the Mozilla foundation, you’ll realise you don’t fucking need Google.

We the community, are waiting for the moment we can invest on our (currently) only chance to truly fuck with Google.

Also, seed to I2P trackers!! It’s now possible with qBitTorrent.
