Kaipaan niitä aikoja, kun yhteyden luominen tärkeisiin oman elämän kontakteihin onnistui kirjautumalla shellille ja kirjoittamalla komentoriville

..tai ainakin muistaakseni se komento meni jotenkin noin

So apparently #Discord is in talks to go public or be bought out. Unless, say, #Valve was the one who was buying them, I can't see any way this doesn't result in discord becoming a drastically worse product. This is exactly why we should have never left #irc.

Thunderbird is a free open source communications suite (supports email, RSS, XMPP, IRC, Matrix, Usenet). They have an official video account at:

@thunderbird@tilvids.com

They've already posted 29 videos, if these haven't federated to your server yet you can browse them all at https://tilvids.com/a/thunderbird/videos

They also have a general social media account at @thunderbird@mastodon.online

I've switched to lurking here for a while due to the effects the current political situation in the US is having on me. I am making some big changes to how I do things, including how I livestream and host various products of my math research. I'll be posting about the steps I take as I take them.

I have switched from #Firefox to #Librewolf on my desktops. This was pretty easy since I have been storing my bookmarks as a plain text file on my desktop for a while now. Very portable. I just wish #VideoDownloadHelper worked on Librewolf.

I am looking into #XMPP now and trying to find a server to sign up for. Does anyone know any with open registration?

I have also recently gotten into #IRC again, and am excited to get more familiar with the #Pidgin client on desktop.

Does anyone know of a style of internet communication that's built security-first?

I've seen a few posts recently about how email wasn't designed to be secure, it was supposed to be for coordinating academics working on different university networks. Makes sense.

Now I've read that IRC wasn't designed to be secure coz you're supposed to be able to join and join in. Makes sense.

The UK government is currently unscrewing all the security panels on apple and android devices so they can read your messages if they feel like it. Hate it.

Obviously (?) DMs on here are subject to server moderation and ActivityPub wasn't built security-first either. Makes sense.

So what is? I am stuck handwriting letters and posting them?

Please don't recommend Signal, I have Signal. It's fine.

#Ubuntu Dev Discussions Moving to #Matrix

https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2025/01/ubuntu-dev-matrix-move-confirmed

According to my home network stats i spend the most computer time on #IRC and the most bandwidth on #Usenet. These are the same stats for me as in 1995 but somehow tell a very different story today.

Interesting. @dansup confirms that #Sup will be a client that supports multiple instant messaging protocols like #XMPP and #Matrix.

Elsewhere, he indicates #IRC support as well.

I wonder how this will integrate with #ActivityPub.
