@a1ba @hj Looked into it and it has been fixed.

@bobdobberson @uexo @jason123santa I remember when XMPP was 'encrypted' via OTR. Back then we'd use Pidgin and chat E2E encrypted via both XMPP and IRC and whatever other protocol we liked :)

Obviously things like file transfers weren't secure. Neither was the Jingle (lol) VoIP stuff. None of that stuff worked great then, especially with groups on a LAN. Oops! P2P be damned!

XMPP started tackling real-issues like encrypted file transfers at the start of this decade (the 2020s!) but Matrix had everything we needed already which is why we switched... years before. No hard feelings. People want use things that work today. That's why Discord will never be replaced by any soul until they get native group calling/streaming into all the major clients. This includes XMPP.

Yesterday I plugged my phone into my Steam Deck dock to charge it and discovered it had 'Samsung Dex' on it. I remember being optimistic about convergence at some point (remember Ubuntu Phone?...) and am curious if anyone is out there using such things. #phones #technology #tired

Oh cool, the trailer for the Ranma 1/2 reboot was just posted.

@Theuaredead Ryoga appears to have changed the least

@zeux @aras For context, GCC 4.0 was released in 2005. Almost 20 years ago.

Back from vacation. I am in great spirits and aspire to post more. Let's see how long that lasts...

@tay @ipg GNUstep is a rabbit hole that does exactly what most developers might want, but have a hard time embracing. It does need some love from a new generation, though.

@ipg maybe MICROS~1 can put a AI assisted tutorial into the gamer-OS so they can discover quaint concepts such as cooperating with other human beings in non-condescending ways.

:mudokun_happy: Descent 3 code is out.

ActivityPub is a really cool protocol because it can be (and is) used for things that's not social media. It's also been an open standard since 2018.

In regards to the Fediverse, being a subset and all: I like talking to people on here, some of you may be opinionated (and therefore a lot of personality clashes happen) but at least you stand for something as opposed to nothing at all. Gotten really tired of that latter lately.

Check out this new :quake: LibreQuake video by @MissLavender:

Anyone who aspires to work on a game of their own some day should get their feet wet by contributing to projects like this. Or simply use it as a base for your prototyping needs in the Quake engine.

@chetfaliszek Pretty sure the community voted it in as a joke, yeah.

Can't believe even time.gov broke during this

Really glad VLC makes old versions available. Which I should mention if you happen to have an iPad 1 knocking around, here's the latest version that still works on there: http://downloads.videolan.org/videolan/vlc-iOS/2.1.3/

New Years party is ready, set up my iPad 1 with an old version of VLC and got an internal RTMP stream going so we can all watch stuff

@a1ba You see, it's really easy. Just do the work!...
