@selea I understand that point of view but at the same time it is also part of Trump's (and Musk's) strategy to just throw just around and flood newspapers. No one can keep up with fact checking all that nonsense 😵💫

Last time Trump was in charge, I was already complaining about newspapers becoming incredibly lazy, just reporting about every irrelevant and small thing that Trump says or does, while there are a million more things going on, on this planet.

This same phenomenon is now happening again, but it includes Musk 😑

The German newspaper Tagesspiegel had an article today about Musk's gaming accounts (?) and how his Path of Exile 2 account was top ranked but was played by someone else and not by himself even though he acted like he was a pro gamer.

What the actual fuck. How is this in any way interesting or worth an article XD

@selea define good beer? What did you have?

Awesome! 🤩 Let's turn it into a jellyfin music-client 😁

*Checks licence*

> "Copyleft with restrictions"

Ok what are the restrictions 🧐

*Checks restrictions" 🔍

having an amazing progress on getting rid of #telegram 😄

managed to move 27 conversations from telegram to #signal (I think one conversation was moved to #threema 😄)

About half of the people already had signal. The other half I spent time explaining all the things that are wrong with telegram.

The fact that people listen to me and then make the move, shows me that my friends, especially the ones who are not into tech, trust and respect me. One of my friends was really impressed because she thought that all messengers are the same and just have different skins and buttons 😆😆😆

Only 1 friend left who has not (yet) downloaded #signal, but is going to 👌🏾

The family group was impossible to migrate. Apparently older people don't like change. Not really a surprise 😆 No idea how I'll handle that. Maybe my cousin will be a proxy or I'll have to use telegram every now and then (on desktop) to check the family group. OR I will just keep pestering every one when we meet IRL 😂 "We have to move to signal" and one of my uncles will be like "NO! I INSTALLED TELEGRAM BECAUSE LAST TIME YOU SAID WE HAVE TO LEAVE WHATSAPP. I WILL NOT DO THIS AGAIN" 😆😆😆😆😆

Other than that I have a handful of telegram bots. Most of them I have written myself. Nothing crazy though, almost all of them just wrap some APIs.

Since I've started to use #matrix since April, I'm now thinking about turning my telegram-bots into matrix-bots. I think it could be a fun project and would make telegram even more obsolete 😄

@redstarfish not mentioning xmpp is a good trick 😁

@redstarfish I would be very surprised if telegram WASNT doing the most shady shit on serverside. The keep branding themselves as "open-source" but that is just completely fake because it only applies to the frontend client.

Imo they are just smart and won't get caught. Doesn't mean it isn't one of the most shady companies on this planet.

I personally have started migrating from telegram to signal. Will take a couple of months but I sent wait to uninstall telegram 🫠
