What’s so wrong with XML? All web browsers use it (HTML is literally slightly-freeform XML), Libreoffice also does (XML is part of the Open Document format spec), Freedesktop… eeeh, let’s not mention them, and so far we are doing golden.

Does anyone actually disable the entire adblocker for CF? usually just whitelisting channelges subdomain suffices as the easiest task to do on UBO, and you can go more granular than that if you want.

I’m unsure what’s the progress status over there so I’ll say “yes?”.

Which reminds me, I think there is a binding somewhere that lets XMPP send SMS messages, but dunno how if any is that related to phone call compatible audio.

Self-hosted messaging was solved decades ago, it’s called XMPP or Jabber depending on who do you ask. There are a number of services for it, such as Prosody or ejabberd, and there are both client apps (eg.: Conversations for Android, Gajim or Dino for PC) and a number of webclients (such as converse.js which can actually be shipped via a ejabberd install).

That said you could just set up an alternative Signal client that allows for custom servers, since the centralization of Signal only really exists at the level of the client only connecting to Signal’s servers… Signal’s people have pointed this out themselves, when offering bridge setups so that people could connect from Iran or other countries where those countries blocked Signal’s endpoints.

So in this example, if 3 instances are tied by such an external organization, one for each country, which will be breaking their local laws to allow or not discussion on modding and dumping?

By that point they’d be using different instances of the Dredd software, I’d guess, so hopefully this would be avoided

Wouldn’t disabling media federation get rid of that part of the problem real fast, to then leave people open to work on the moderation issues such as “federated judging” etc?

Danke!

I should use Friendica more (or, like, at all), but I’m lazy.

Hmmm, I’d… say… “get a better phone”, but there’s not much of a better alternative there.

Get a desktop / laptop computer?

Get a better browser? HTTP is as legit a transmission protocol as HTTPS and email are.

That sounds interesting. But then you have to convince your peers to install your certificate root, right?

HTTPS for everything means you have to buy into the cartel of “identity providers” that manage DNS and certificates, even if there are some mostly-good actors in there such as Let’s Encrypt, you still have the external dependency. As we have seen with cases such as Austistici, having that dependency can be a problem. It’s your call if it is in your case or not, but I wanted to raise this point because no one has pointed out that particular weakness vector so far in the thread.

In a very general sense, if your services are under a netbird or any sort of VPN where you control who gets account access or not, you “should not need” HTTPS. Might still be convenient to have.

¡Admittedly a fair point!

No one said the pedophile elite was any smart.

No, it sold us.

What is the target audience?

At these prices, the Pedophile Elite. Heck, the Trump Phone was half this price!

Wow!

Just look at that Big, Beautiful Bill Pedophile Price Tag!

Reposting, or rather, cross-posting, is fine and it’s the correct way to do things in the Fediverse. A post can be relevant to different communities because each one has their own cultural take on a given subject.

What we need is clients that present a better interface to view (and resume) that relationship, but that’s not on you, let alone on the people who create content for the Fediverse. We want there to be more of it (and more varied), not less.

Shame it’s handled by yet another tiny dicktator.
