:-D Time to go outside.

It’s a talking-head video presentation on a well-known video publishing website.

Given your browser couldn’t show anything useful from that webpage, @kugmo@sh.itjust.works offered a solution: just feed the URL into mpv, which happens to be excellent at playing audio/video from web pages if you also have yt-dlp installed.

Siskin has been working well for some people I know on iPhone.

There used to be some settings you need to tweak, not sure how it is these days:

Monal has also been getting some regular development and is worth trying out.

Huh? Why not use K-9 or Fair Email?

They’re both excellent email clients.

LineageOS still phones home to Google for most things.

Do you have a source on this? I thought LineageOS was completely de-googled now.

AUR has just as much ability to fuck you over as piping curl to sh as an installation method.

Check your PKGBUILDs every single time and make sure you (still!) trust whatever repos it’s pulling the source/binaries from.

You’re not supposed to handle them in Australia either, due to Australian bat lyssavirus:

Conversations on Android and Siskin on iOS.

One non-techie parent has Siskin running on their iPhone and it hasn’t skipped a beat in years of messaging using omemo-encrypted XMPP. For servers, they’re on tigase.im and I’m on conversations.im.

Here’s a guide on optimum siskin settings; I don’t know if defaults are better now or not.

Conversations.im is free on fdroid but it’s well worth paying something to the developer directly.

Yeah, there’s a distinct lack of nonsense with Migadu.

double-check for security vulnerabilities

triple-check is better.

Part of me thinks you’re being unreasonable, because that question did receive decent responses (1 CLI + GUI suggestion, 1 GUI suggestion, and 2 beginning to try troubleshoot the drive access problem).

But I suspect it’s just a dissonance in perspectives, maybe due to your Linux distro causing a bunch of stupid issues, which haven’t been properly noticed by anyone yet.

It’s a shame that some distros like Ubuntu have enshittified so badly that they’ve become unsupportable. (Nothing seems to work rationally – the same reason I find it impossible to support users on Windows).

Advocates and potential/new users alike, need to consider specific distributions, not just “Linux”.

Find a folder comparison software [with only Gui]

A quick web search (even without ‘graphical’) turned up pages suggesting meld in the first few results.

It’s always crickets when the issue of improper poor ranking of XMPP is addressed in these threads…

Yep. Really need to compare the best-practice XMPP clients (e.g. Conversations, Siskin), not half-developed clients more suited to the XMPP landscape of 20 years ago. – Just as Matrix’s ranking in the table is high because only the state-of-the-art clients are considered – there are plenty of Matrix clients which don’t support e2ee, for example.

This list of mistakes isn’t exhaustive, but extending from poVoq’s mentions, here are some things XMPP(conversations) does actually have positive findings for:

• End to end encrypted by default [OMEMO]
• End to end encryption is available [OMEMO]
• Voice/video calls are end to end encrypted [“calls are always end-to-end encrypted with DTLS-SRTP”]
• Utilizes Perfect Forward Secrecy [OMEMO]
• Data is encrypted in transit [TLS and OMEMO]
• You can verify contacts out of band [https://gultsch.de/trust.html]
• There has been a third party code audit [2016]
• Provider can scan for illegal content [If you send content unencrypted, otherwise no different to Matrix/Signal]

I’m not sure there’s much differentiation between any apps when it comes to “What can the apps hand to police?”; if the police have physical access to your device and app, they have access to everything you do on that device/app.
