We have to do some "project" for our final semester. I've at most 4-5 months. I think I'll learn about XMPP protocol in details and try to contribute to a xmpp client.

Sadly, I'm on my own on this as there's no one to guide me at my university. And, I don't want to work on projects my professors are proposing.

I want to do things I'm passionate about, even if I'm on my own.

GNU.

So you want to make a difference? Do this:

Join Codeberg e.V. – become part of the organisation; part of the resistance – and actively support this valuable ethical EU-based anti-fascist git hosting alternative:

https://join.codeberg.org

Seriuously, do it now.

Volunteer and/or donate if you can.

Let’s send Codeberg’s membership through the roof and show these fucking fascists that when they push we push back twice as hard.

When you do, please add your voice to this thread so others can see.

I still think 2019 was 3-4 years ago.

Examiner: Have you done this using LaTeX? It looks great. Do you know LaTeX?

Me: Only a little bit.

Examiner: So, you could produce such beautiful document just by knowing a little LaTeX?

Me: Well, I've been using it for many years.

Daytone Saphire Blue. I love that it looks almost like the blue we use for official purposes but it's slightly more violet which looks amazing. The colour is very vibrant and doesn't fade away. It's also very cheap so I can use/waste it as much as I want.

@janneke The anti-GNU assembly is entirely anti-GNU.

Just because you think it is not, does not mean it is. And your numbers are lottery tickets ...

Nobody is denying that there are problems, the issue is how one addresses them .. threatening people, harassing people, constantly attacking people .. which the anti-GNU assembly has been doing.

@lxo @redstarfish @ark74

@ark74 I don't find it compelling at all.

We've had democratic governance structures such as #sociocracy that "protect" for hostile takeover of values for over 100 years now.

Using the straw man of hostile takeover to excuse authoritarianism is extremely ignorant at best.

@Suiseiseki@freesoftwareextremist.com @icedquinn@blob.cat @bonifartius@qoto.org @sally@freesoftwareextremist.com I mean to be fair, before attended the GNU Boot install party at 38C3 I was still running Libreboot 2016 on my Thinkpad.

Simply because I was lazy and it just worked and I didn't have any good reason to update it to a newer version.

Following the example of GitLab and other VC-funded open source companies, @element goes 'open source almost everything' with "Synapse Pro";

"Synapse itself remains open source, and Element will continue to develop it proactively, just as it has for the last 10 years ... Available under a commercial license, Synapse Pro will help fund and accelerate the continued open source development of Synapse for the benefit of all of Matrix."

poddery.com is a public #matrix and #xmpp services (we used to provide #diaspora as well, but it is scheduled to be shut down soon). This service is run by volunteers and we raise funds through donations. Would you like to sponsor part of domain renewal charges for 1 year?

gandi.net hiked charges 2-3 times! and it is 29.39 USD (so we moved to Hetzner.de which charges 13.5 Euro for 1 year only - we already host the server with them). @milvus_migrans_govinda already contributed half of it.

I'm in love with XMPP/Jabber. I've been using it for months now and I'm very satisfied. I'm recommending it to everyone who'd listen to me.

#XMPP

@prav since some people in the community will be traveling, we shifted the event to March 1st. So we have more time to plan and publicize.

@conservancy Interesting project! Why did you choose to support hardware with proprietary firmware in it? Ethically this doesn’t seem all that different from encouraging buying an Apple Mac which also contains a mix of free and proprietary software in it.

@ArrestJK

We’ll just call Shane Jones a git.

Hola gente, para aquellos usuarios con un conocimiento medio a avanzado en #GNU #Llinuxlibre que deseen participar en el desarrollo de #Trisquel les agradecería me manden un DM, principalmente se esta trabajando en la nueva versión 12.0, #Ecne

El dominio del Inglés se recomienda aunque se podría ser flexible.

No hay una fecha de publicación, se publicará cuando esté lista, sin embargo en el desarrollo de la misma se pueden enterar de muchos detalles de lo que viene.

Saludos.

The #Prav crowdfunding campaign I'm helping to set up has just crossed the halfway mark but I've been so busy setting it up that I haven't even posted about it yet!

Well, I guess that's a good place to be 🤪

*watch this space for more*

Saludos,

Para todos los usuarios de #Guix en #Trisquel se les recomienda actualizar su sistema a la última actualización del mismo para corregir un detalle de seguridad encontrado en versiones recientes.

No hay un CVE asignado, sin embargo podrán encontrar más información al respecto en: https://guix.gnu.org/blog/2024/build-user-takeover-vulnerability/

Esta es una actualización "hecha en casa", al momento no hay aun una actualización desde Ubuntu o Debian.

Gracias por su atención y happy hacking! 😀 👍
