I'm looking for a new position/contract, preferably #remote. Timezone: CET. #GetFediHired
I'm a software #developer, architect, and team lead with almost 20 years of practical experience building and modernizing scalable and maintainable #backend systems, specializing in #dotnet and #REST APIs. Comfortable with #messaging architectures running at scale, designing CI/CD pipelines and running distributed systems in the cloud. Happy to take ownership, train teams and learn new business domains.
"#Jabber is a new project I recently started to create a complete #opensource platform for #InstantMessaging with transparent #communication to other IM systems (#ICQ, #AIM, etc). Most of the initial design and protocol work is done, as well as a working server and a few test clients."
We always hear "Dem messaging sucks!" but they don't have to, my friend @anatosaurus is going to talk about how to message, "Sell the brownies & not the recipe!" (As she famously told @lawrence O'Donnell)
She's live on @nicolesandler's show 1-3-2024 5:00 pm EST https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LujW3qpn_wE
One of the questions I want her to address the mistakes that Dems often make and "frame our aims in terms of what we oppose."
In 2024 I want help progressives tell better stories with good #Messaging @GottaLaff
Telegram has 700 million users and has always marketed itself as a "secure" and "private" messaging app, even though experts have repeatedly warned that Telegram is not as secure as end-to-end encrypted app Signal, for example.
To avoid leaking your IP address, you have to go to Telegram’s Settings > Privacy and Security > Calls, and then select "Never" in the Peer-to-Peer menu.
Some days it's hard to believe the #Democrats won't listen to @owillis when he explains. Today's column has an answer to one of their hardest problems. Plus puppy dog eyes.

heise+ | Per E-Mail chatten: Delta Chat als Messenger und Mailsoftware nutzen
Der quelloffene Messenger Delta Chat nutzt klassische E-Mails zur Kommunikation. Er ist Chat-App und Mailclient in einem. Wir zeigen die Vorteile und Grenzen.
#Signal#Cybersecurity#Privacy#Messaging: "Signal is a nonprofit, but we’re playing in a lane dominated by multi-billion-dollar corporations that have defined the norms and established the tech ecosystem, and whose business models directly contravene our privacy mission. So in order to provide a genuinely useful alternative, Signal spends tens of millions of dollars every year. We estimate that by 2025, Signal will require approximately $50 million dollars a year to operate—and this is very lean compared to other popular messaging apps that don’t respect your privacy.
Here we review some of these costs and where this money goes, in the name of providing more transparency into Signal. But we hope to do more than that. Where money goes and how it’s made is a bit of a taboo in tech, something that most tech companies avoid talking about. The actual costs of consumer tech are generally hidden behind stories of innovation and the word “free,” and the connection between the product marketing of a highly profitable tech industry and the ingress and egress of profit and revenue is usually unclear. We believe a material map of these dynamics can help clarify just what is required to fulfill the dream of privacy-preserving alternative technology, and contribute to establishing a solid foundation from which we can grow alternatives that contest tech surveillance and the incentives behind it."
#EU#EC#Cybersecurity#Messaging#Encryption: "Today, noyb filed a complaint against the EU Commission’s Directorate General for Migration and Home Affairs. In September 2023, the Commission used unlawful micro-targeting on Twitter (X) to promote its heavily criticized chat control regulation. It seems that the Commission was desperate to garner public support, which could be used to pressure national governments into accepting the controversial legislative proposal. This move both undermined the established democratic procedures between EU institutions and violated the EU GDPR."
I was already highly considering switching to #Nothing, but this might lock me in.
"Nothing Chats is a first-of-its-kind app developed in partnership with #Sunbird, which allows you to message other #iMessage users via blue bubbles on your Nothing Phone."
Element has a new home and will be adopting AGPL license for Synapse, Dendrite and associated server side projects.
"Future code contributors to Synapse will need to sign a contributor license agreement (CLA) based on the Apache Software Foundation’s CLA, giving Element ownership of their contribution so we can use it to help fund Matrix core development in future."
