It's time for war!
What (decentralized) messenger is actually good?
For the purposes of the question your favorite client is what counts.
- Matrix (Message cant be decrypted)
- XMPP (Does calling work?)
- SimpleX (Muh metadata)
- Delta Chat (just use email lol)
- Jami (No chat but GNU chat)
- IRC (Get off my lawn zoomers)

God they all suck. Matrix sends your identity data to their identity server by default, even with your own home server. Loading new spaces/servers takes FOREVER. But at least encryption works (because sometimes it doesn't) even though the servers can't scale without buying their enterprise Rust package. Most of the bridges are broken or aren't consistent.

XMPP is pretty damn old. No long term chat history without some configuration work. A lot of the clients suck. Many different ways to do the same thing via components and no guarantee components are available on both servers. Encryption is bolt-on. But I guess it works and is more open than Matrix.

IRC is super old and lacks everything, but all the open source communities still use it. I honestly only get on to get support. I miss the days of FServers (which most IRC networks no longer allow). We're never going to see an IRCv2.

...haven't used any of the others.

@dirb@pleroma.dirb.xyz @mangeurdenuage@shitposter.world to be fair, the "xorg broke again" meme was not an arch linux specific issue. if anyone updates it, it breaks. i understand why the developers decided to make wayland, i just wish they didn't also act like insuferable shitstains, e.g. drew devault, child porn enthusiast and wayland developer.

@theorytoe @phnt @sendpaws @mischievoustomato apologize.

With just 32 hours left to go...I can't believe it...they are less than $500 away from meeting the $55k goal, which will add in-app live streaming capabilities.

Let's make this happen. 💪🏼

Whoa: Weston, the reference compositor for #Wayland, supports multiple physical independent mice at the same time! 😀

"New mouse, who dis?"

(I'll write up how to do this later!)

Hopefully, #Xlibre will collaborate with #Xenocara and continue the momentum of open source projects avoiding SystemD #FreeBSD

The nothing ever happens phrase is a psyop to do nothing

I've been working on a new site to help transparency in the #FOSS world:

https://isitreallyfoss.com/

This is an evolution upon my prior confusion cases work, intended to make the information more accessible, functional and easier to maintain, while now also featuring projects which are committed & transparent regarding free and #OpenSource software.
