Pretty fuckin' cool if you ask me.

Even when it was up, I never managed to get reliable read state from gpodder, possibly because I have paid podcast that cannot be downloaded easily. If you figure out a good way to sync the podcast list and read state between antennapod and other apps, please share it here!

My workaround so far is to only use antennapod which is actually fine, I can use bluetooth or a jack to use my phone as the podcast device in all situations where I actually want podcasts... but it'd be nice to just not use my phone at all when I'm home. ;-)

Did they use siskin before?

OK, then it sounds like you need to work this out with Monal devs. Bug reports are usually appreciated by devs, especially if you manage to work out exactly when and how it happens…

In my experience, Monal has been working great (except when siskin used the account before, leading to misconfiguration of some OMEMO-related stuff).

Looks nice! 2.15.0, then 3.0, right? ;o)

A life goal, you mean!

Interesting. I tried to use mobilizon which I think is activitypub-based but has somehow similar goals as Karrot. Karrot looks a bit lighter/snappier to use, which is good (but TBF it's been a while since I haven't given Mobilizon a try, maybe it got better since last time I tried).

I want to bring some attention to Slidge XMPP Bridges ( git.sr.ht )

It seems like an awesome project that fulfills a lot of the requirements for bridging many popular messaging platforms (like FB messenger, WhatsApp, discord, signal, and more). I wanted to share because I know a lot of us have friends and family who still use antiquated/proprietary communication platforms. Fair warning, I have...

It does support a crazy amount of networks (it uses libpurple which is the lib of pidgin), unfortunately it lacks modern features and even groups don't work that well. I actually started to work on slidge because I was fed up with spectrum2's limitations and realised that spectrum2's maintainer think, like many others, that XMPP is dead...

Yes, it's totally fantastic, and I'm not biased at all when I talk about it. xD

@nicocool84@sh.itjust.works avatar

But what is dead may never die!

(I'm the maintainer) I do use the messenger bridge and it works for me, without disconnection issues.

"Always" is the good choice yes, and dino is gnome-philosophy-compliant: "do not expose too many settings".

Some additional info: your server admin may have set the server-side archiving policy to a very short time or even disabled it all together. Also, this Conversations setting only applies to direct chats. For groups it's up to the group owner to enable or disable server-side archiving (it's on by default in most modern implementations).

Now we need prosody to support what's needed, pubsub-wise. Oh I know, I could use ejabberd...

ELI5 why is anarchy not "the guy with the bigger stick" making the rules?

I'm politically agnostic and have moved from a slightly conservative stance to a vastly more progressive stance (european). i still dont get the more niche things like tankies and anarchists at this point but I would like to, without spending 10 hours reading endless manifests (which do have merit, no doubt, but still)....

Anarchy is not the absence of rules but the absence of authority.

nicocool84 ,
@nicocool84@sh.itjust.works avatar

Anarchists tend to think that fear of the state is not the main reason why we don't murder each other. In other words, following rules that are understood does not require the stick.
Anarchists also tend to think that authority mostly enforce rules to maintain itself, and that the common good actually relies on something else.

Let's say you risk nothing if you murder. Would you start right away going on a killing spree ? Chances you think "I won't but others will" and others actually think the same. An anarchist would probably analyse this by saying that destroying trust between indivuals living together is a basic tool power use to justify its domination. A pedantic anarchist would get his Latin out at this point. Divide et impera.

Anarchists usually think that a lot of murderers actually get away with it in our actual world, be it through war crimes, neglecting sanitary or safety rules to maximise profit; you can extend this list with a lot of legal murders.

Anarchism definitely does not define a specific rule for what to do with murderers. Different communities might want to handle that differently. They usually think that prison does not solve anything though, and that only the poor get sent there anyway.

I think a mistake is to think that anarchism is a "feature-complete" view of the world, when it really is the realisation that power corrupts, and that we should keep this in mind when organising ourselves. Arguably, over the long run, anarchist views are winning: institutions that prevent - in theory - crazy psychopath from taking absolute power, churches losing power over our lives, women considered as human beings; these are things anarchists have pushed for, for 2 centuries.
