Again and again I ask myself:
Why do #Cinnamon, #Gnome, #KDE, #LXDE, #MATE, #Xfce etc. have an icon or logo, but my favourite WM, #exwm, does not? Where are the #Emacs artists when they are most needed?

No, I do not want to have an account on MS-GitHub. Can we please use #freeSoftware for hosting free software?
There are alternatives. E.g. various #gitlab instances (such as #SalsaDebianOrg), #forgejo instances (such as #codeberg), #sourcehut and many more.

#Roskomnadzor blocks Signal

I guess, that it is relatively easy to block a centralised communication service on Amazon AWS.
I assume, that it is harder to block federated IM, such as #Jabber, esp. when DNS SRV record _xmpps-client._tcp.<domain> is set to port 443.

What exactly is the idea?
Just having "normal", custom user names (JID local part) and allowing optional link a phone number for password reset?

Do you mean setting the nick name in public, "anonymous" MUCs, so that only #MUC admins can see users #JID? That's not yet possible in #Monal?

Die Verwendung einer ".box"-#Domain für den internen #Router-Zugang durch #AVM kommt mir merkwürdig vor.
Sollte für solche Zwecke nicht ".local" genutzt werden?

Heutzutage hat dieser Ausweis meines Wissens ein Foto, zumindest wenn $STUDI die #BVG nutzen will. Ich sehe da wenig Mißbrauchspotential.
Daß #AStA o.ä. einfach ein #Semesterticket ausdrucken können, wäre mir neu.

I wonder why all #Debian news in my #Fediverse timeline are duplicated.
First, #feed2toot sends a message, one second later #divrit sends one, but with a link to micronews added.
Can somebody stop one or the other, please? Thank you!

Interessantes #Interview:
"#Tiktok hatte 2021 über eine Milliarde Nutzer. Das sind fast 14 Prozent der Weltbevölkerung. Ein #Algorithmus, der darauf trainiert wird, dass die Aufmerksamkeit von einer Milliarde Menschen verändert wird – dafür gibt es keinen Präzedenzfall und die Folgen sind bisher nicht absehbar."

Hervorragender Artikel von #HeribertPrantl in #SüddeutscheZeitung:
Zwei kleine Fehler:
1. "#DBNavigator": Man braucht diese App, um sein Ticket zu kaufen — ich kaufe meine Tickets immer am Automaten oder Schalter. Mit #Bargeld.
2. Der Postdienstleister DHL legt ein Paket, das er echt oder angeblich nicht zustellen konnte, in eine Packstation, die nur noch mittels #Smartphone zu öffnen ist. — meine Pakete landen im Paketshop. Ohne #Handy.

Yes, this stuff is really complicated. I agree, that both Matrix and #XMPP are complex (in different ways), and the people who invented those protocols are not stupid — they implemented all the complexity for reasons.
And how cumbersome email is nowadays! When I started using email, there was no TLS, no PGP, no MIME, no DKIM, no SPF, no DMARC, no other encoding than 7-bits ASCII. To send a picture, we had to uuencode it and paste the result in the email. Wow!

Since some years, there is talk about bringing the Matrix #protocol to the #IETF for #standardization. I assume, that has been done since long, but I missed the news?
Thanks for the link to #RightsRatchetModel https://meshedinsights.com/2021/02/02/rights-ratchet/ — it's a good read!
(Btw. #AGPL is fine for me, but I would strongly object to a #CLA in favour of a business I'm not involved in.)

Less powerful, but similar (if not better) in #sustainability is the #MNTReform by @npub1xzp…x4fk. I like its real #mechanicalKeyboard and the use of standard #18650cell #rechargeable batteries, which you can get everywhere. It's pretty heavy though and you need to open ten (wtf?) screws to change the batteries. Pro: It comes with #Debian by default! 🙂 I'm not yet sure, how to run #EXWM on it, because it only supports #Wayland atm.

How do you organize your #cooking recipes in #Emacs? #orgmode or something else? All recipes in one file, one file per #recipe, or something in between?

Even as an #Emacs user, I still prefer to use the #compose key. (That's were other people have their #capslock 🙂)
E.g. compose o o ⇒ "°",
compose t m ⇒ "™",
compose = > ⇒ "⇒",
compose c a t ⇒ "𓃠", etc.
Everything I need is in my ~/.XCompose, so that it works in all #X11 applications.

I see. From the outside (i.e. to me) it looks pretty much monolithic. At least compared to #XSF.

I personally do not blame anyone for working with the police on the level, we have seen, neither Matrix nor Daniel.
However, there is a difference:
Daniel is only one "random" (sorry, Daniel!) person in the #Jabber #XMPP community. It's not the XSF @npub15a4…qzna, that works with whoever.
In the case of Matrix, it is the company itself, which hold control of protocol and reference implementation. Again: I don't blame them.

"The reports of the death of #Jabber are greatly exaggerated."
(I use #XMPP every day with friends, family, colleagues. @npub15a4…qzna doesn't look dead to me. But I started late using it seriously. Around 2014, when the hype was already over.)
