    6 stations on 2 metres SSB for tonight's FSQ Fridays net. None of our radios quite agree on the frequency. :) !amateur https://gs.sdf.org/attachment/350112

    XEP-xxxx: Matrix Client-Server API over XMPP
    https://static.uhoreg.ca/matrix/xep-matrix.html

    "As everyone knows, HTTP is a terrible protocol to use as a transport for real-time communications. To remedy this, this specification defines a transport for the Matrix Client-Server API using a proven real-time communications protocol, namely XMPP."

    @strypey @andersbateva I think most of the fediverse is sick of me mentioning it, but Matrix (and their flashy open source clients Riot) fits the bill. It's all I use for IM now, having bridged IRC.

    To carry a hanky is quite a distinction
    It indicates wisdom so sordid:
    When cleaning one's glasses and blowing one's nose
    These tasks must be carefully ordered

    @mmn @fnadde42 Consistent state and complete scrollback across multiple devices is a basic requirement of a multiuser chat system now. I know this is true because all serious IRC users have some complicated technique such as a bouncer, ssh+screen or irccloud to circumvent the problem. I've been playing with Matrix, which @bob mentioned, in the last day or two and I think it has real potential as a Slack killer. Their integration as an actual ircd in Freenode's network works surprisingly well.

    @vegos @bobjonkman I'm going to disagree, it's a little rude. If you're going to post on Twitter you're obliged to use the site the way it's designed, especially if you're causing spurious notifications for others. Flipping it around I wouldn't be very happy if someone was tagging me in their GS posts while talking to the thomask on Twitter. Whether GS is a superior service is neither here nor there. There's no technical reason why notices containing GS names can't be de-@-ed before posting to Twitter.

    I'm disappointed that Mozilla isn't prepared to take a stronger stand against DRM. At the end of the day though they're providing an equivalent of Debian's non-free repo. I'll continue to be a satisfied Firefox user, just the same as I get by just fine on Debian without installing flashplugin-nonfree.

    Ironically the only people who end up using "DRM-unencumbered" forks will be the people who were never going to install the DRM anyway. They can look forward to getting their security patches slightly slower I guess.

      One day in Melbourne, when the sun was out and the birds were singing, Matt opened an email and was greeted with a video of a man wanking.

    @maiyannah @mmn @pettter Here's an interesting alternative explanation. I will admit I was prepared to take the dailydot article at face value and that was an error. Not to say this is necessarily accurate either but clearly it is/was too early to form views. http://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1sop8ps

    "Now they may not be allowed to actually go look at the page that you pulled over the Internet.

    But if I know the size of the file that was transmitted across the Internet, which is also metadata I can uniquely fingerprint every single story on that news site.

    And I can then correlate this news story to your address without ever going to the content in a legal sense."

    @moshpirit @echosa @zoowar Take care and test that it's working. When I last tried it a few months ago private notices were still federating and visible to unauthenticated users. It's possible that work has been done since then but it is a very underloved feature.
