Fresh new instance, fresh new #introduction time.

I'm Erin, yet another autistic transgender anarchist from so-called Portland, Oregon. I used to have fancy tech jobs with titles like "Lead Full-Stack Software Engineer" until I burnt out, got laid off, and discovered that the tech industry was done with me. Nowadays I survive on a very part-time gig as a general technologist and some freelance tech work when I can find it. My part-time gig is unionized through the IWW, of which I am a proud member. I've been on fedi under various names and handles since GNU Social was the cool new thing.

My special interests include Cybersecurity, Casio watches, Dungeons & Dragons, Final Fantasy XIV, the Indieweb, Linux, old ThinkPads, XMPP, Yuri Anime and Manga, and stuffed sharks.

Anyone here into #bowling ? There's a #Jabber / #XMPP channel for people who enjoy bowling (10 pin, candle pin, duck pin, etc) at all skill levels!

Voltando à minha conversa antiga sobre empresa usar #XMPP, um dos empecilhos é que, para conversar com clientes e fornecedores, ainda precisariam do WhatsApp, por isso usam só ele mesmo.

Mas, e se fosse possível enviar mensagem para o WhatsApp sem usar o WhatsApp? Alguém já testou isso aqui ou algo nesse sentido?

Rappel que si vous êtes une personne, un groupe de potes ou un petit collectif qui veut au choix (un ou plusieurs) :
- S'émanciper du capitalisme numérique via des solutions collectives
- Avoir sa propre messagerie chiffrée
- Passer sous Linux
- Mieux comprendre le fonctionnement d'internet
- Poser des questions "bêtes" (y a pas de questions bêtes !) que vous osez pas poser à d'autres libristes

Vous pouvez me demander.

J'aurai pas forcément la réponse à tout ni le temps d'aider pour tout, mais y a moyen d'avoir au moins des pistes et débrousailler le terrain.

@fuchsiii @puppygirlhornypost2 @kopper granted, #TechIlliterates & #Consoomers are just a bad standard to begin with and aligning with the bottom barrel is always gonna lower one's standard.

People need to realize there's not one perfect app.

  • They can have multiple very good optioms that do their part or one shitty bloatware that does nothing even halfway acceptable.

The former are #IRC, #XMPP+#OMEMO, #WebCall, #OnionShare, #Linphome, #Mumble, …

The latter one are #MicrosoftTeams, #Discrord, #QQ, #WeChat, #iMessage, #Signal, #Matrix, …

@dave_andersen @AVincentInSpace personally I consider any "#KYC" a risk-factor, and @signalapp has proven their ability and willingness to restrict functionality (i.e. their #Shitcoin-#Scam #MobileCoin) based off said #PhoneNumbers (Cuban, Russian and North Korean Numbers were excluded) which are in fact #PII (even if one doesn't have to #ID for obtaining a #SIM, they are circumstantial PII)...

  • They have neither "legitimate interest" nor legal mandate to collect said data (or to integrate a scammy Shitcoin for that matter) as the discontinuation of #ChatSecure / #TextSecure has eliminated the "technical necessity" to have those.

Either way they either have to yeet #Hegseth as client and/or stop collecting PII like PhoneNumbers - they gotta have to do something

#ITsec is a different story, but unlike #Signal these do not depend on a #PhoneNumber and work through @torproject / #Tor.

  • And I've been using Tor for almost 15 years daily now...

@Linux ideally switch to providers that don't demand any #PII like @monocles, which not only will onlynvomply with duely submitted subopenas in #Germany and also can only submit data they actually have.

  • If you never gave them ajy identifying info, then they can't hand those over.

And if you really care, you'll use real #E2EE LIKE #PGO/MIME (#encrypted #eMail) & #XMPP+#OMEMO so there's only encrypted jibberish at the providers' side.
