Whatsapp, Telegram, Signal, Element... vous n'y connaissez rien et vous demandez que choisir et quels sont les enjeux ?
Déjà ce qui différentie Element / Signal de Telegram : ils sont chiffrés de bout en bout.
Quand tu envoies un message sur Telegram, la coquille est chiffrée, donc n'importe qui peut pas écouter ton réseau et ouvrir ton message. Par contre, ton message est envoyé aux serveurs de Telegram, qui eux peuvent le lire (pas de chiffrement de bout en bout).
Anti-écolo c'est peut-être extrême (on parle d'informatique, pas d'aviation…), mais c'est très gourmand côté serveur en ressource, ce qui explique l'hypercentralisation autour de matrix.org (auto-hébergement couteux). Alors qu'un serveur XMPP avec plein d'utilisateurs sur un raspberry pi 1, ça passe…
As it is a long, long tradition Conversations is available for free on the Google Play store for the last week of December.
This tradition was originally born so that when I meet people at Chaos Communication Congress and they ask what I do, they have an easy way to install Conversations. In that regard it's a very special year as we are seeing the return of CCC.
However if you are meeting loved ones to celebrate something else these days that’s fine too.🎄
If you like Conversations, the XMPP client, FOSS, for Android, do not hesitate to support Daniel Gultsch, its maintainer.
"Daniel Gultsch is the maintainer of the Android Jabber client Conversations. In addition to that he develops various tools that aim to improve the Jabber ecosystem like the Compliance Tester or the Server Status Monitor."
Anyone know of a #FOSS#android app ala #pidgin that supports multiple chat protocols? Mainly looking for #XMPP and #Matrix with E2EE and room/group chat support... other protocols are a bonus.
Maybe I would just use a #Jabber app, such as #Conversations by @daniel or one of its forks — and a private #XMPP server with #Slidge by @nicoco as bridge to Matrix and many other protocols:
It's always nice when you can have long, really good conversations with someone. Just talking about random things and making the best of the conversation in general.
This is how the #Fediverse should be at all times. We need more of this type of positivity around this place, especially after all the stuff that happened last week!
I encourage you to do whatever you can to make those good conversations happen!
Що першим ділом треба зробити з новим телефоном? Правильно, видалити або заблокувати купу передвстановленого туди лайна, після чого підключити #fdroid і поставити що треба.
Ще трошки доведеться тягнути з play, але не будемо про сумне.
Взагалі все це сумно, бо думати про новий телефон я починаю лише тоді, коли старий розвалюється в руках. І це завжди вольовий вибір між просрати гроші на це чи потерпіти ще кілька місяців-півроку-рік і потратити на щось корисніше.
What is your favourite #fdroid app? Would be interested if I can discover a few new cool apps, I missed until now. Thank you already for sharing! @fdroid
I see a lot of posts here about why the other social media platforms are terrible & #Mastodon is the one to rule them all*.
Personally, Mastodon is my favorite & I prefer the #fediverse with decentralized servers & open source standards.
But I also don’t mind coexisting with the others. Rather, I think it’s a good thing. All of us should settle in where we feel comfortable & find community.
Overstatement, but a Tolkien reference always seems appropriate.
Those who were scandalised by @element selling encrypted @matrix communications services to cops, and suggesting XMPP as a replacement, you might be interested to know that...
"Conversations_im seems to be doing its job at the German Federal Police."
Service-Toot: Die Messenger-Matrix wurde aktualisiert. Die Empfehlung für Threema wurde angepasst, nachdem nun ein formaler Sicherheitsaudit für das Krypto-Protokoll vorliegt.
Just for discussion. I don't think that #XMPP / #Jabber was killed by big corporations and/or embrace-extend-exstinguish stuff, despite some harm could probably be.
First of all, it wasn't killed. It exists very well, but people rarely use it. I would try to outline a few reasons which could contribute.
The "original" XMPP does not meet any modern requirements. People expect stability in mobile networks and other unstable internet, synchronization over devices and multimedia. All this was introduced only by later XEPs and is barely supported. I can recall only #Gajim on #desktop and #Conversations on #Android among the clients supporting Stream Management + Message Carbons + Message Archive Management + Receipts + HTTP Upload (about Jingle - I wonder if it ever worked at all). Moreover, when you try to adapt it for your needs, you can easily end up as a troubleshooting admin - some things just work wrong or occasionally.
I moved from #reddit over to #lemmy last week... Much like I said here when I first got this account... it very much feels like the early internet.
Know what else it made me realize?
Redditors are fucking ASSHOLES.
I think I shall stay here and Lemmy, where true conversations can be had as opposed to snarky responses to... literally everything... for no good goddamn reason.
