[email protected] well, easy is relative, but it’s this treaty: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DAFT

[email protected] Netherlands also has a xenophobia problem. It’s not as progressive as people think, at least not anymore.

That being said, it’s not a bad country. Also one of the easiest EU countries for Americans to immigrate to.

You assume precedent, consistency, or ethics matter to the current people in power in the US.

Icelandic has no word for “a.” A noun without a definite article suffix can be either “noun” or “a noun.” Then there is a suffix for definite article (epli “apple” -> eplið “the apple”). There is also a slightly more obscure hinn/hin/hið which can mean “the” as a separate word, but that’s not really used in most situations.

The vitriol between Republicans and Democrats in the US has always been there, and I think it started escalating rapidly after Nixon. Even with George Bush Jr in the early 2000s, which had its own set of big problems, it was still “civilized,” although people look back at that time and think it was insane (because it was). But the rhetoric has only accelerated even more, and the Trump administrations are the natural end result of this ever-increasing polarization, unfortunately.

I feel like “reasonable” Republican positions died with out after Reagan. Even though most people in this space will never say Regan’s positions were reasonable (much less good or defensible), there was still a veneer of civility and respect for what little democratic function America had at the time.

At this point, all of that has been thrown out the window. Even Pence, for how evil of a person he is, still refused to destroy the process, at least.

[email protected] said in Is there a way I can make my XMPP (Conversations) messages synced to my desktop?:

Well, the blog post for it is from January 2025. https://signal.org/blog/a-synchronized-start-for-linked-devices/

So I guess it has not been around too long! But it’s interesting they’ve added it. Sounds like it works similarly to the existing message transfer, but with the addition of multiple encryption keys (similar to how Matrix does it).

[email protected] it also seems that Conversations now has the ability to preserve message history when moving devices. Of course this is different than moving between clients, but it’s a step in the right direction.

@[email protected] Did not know that. Must be very recent.

@[email protected] in this case, it was designed explicitly as a security feature. It’s not uncommon for end-to-end encrypted services to have this limitation. Signal has it, for example. Only way you can keep your message history with Signal is to migrate it directly from installation to installation, and it doesn’t sync old messages when setting up the desktop client.

But, you should be fine if you have a backup of Conversations, at least on Conversations itself.

OMEMO by design does not allow old messages to be decrypted by a new device. However, anything going forward should sync between all XMPP clients that implement proper XEPs. The server also has to support the XEPs. But if you’re using OMEMO, then you should also already have the other XEPs required for proper messaging experience. Specifically, the XEP for syncing messages across clients is Message Carbons.

Matrix is able to decrypt past messages on new devices, but that’s because it stores your keys (encrypted) on the server and does a bunch of funky key fetching and passing between sessions to allow message decryption from new verified sessions. OMEMO does not have this function.

Such a joke of a country.

I am using Futo Keyboard. Downloaded it when it was marketed as open source. Unfortunately found out a few days ago it isn’t actually open source. It’s still a damn good keyboard, but it’s still unfortunate. AGPL exists for a reason. Oh well.

@[email protected] it should be noted that they’re shutting down the open source project. However, a fork is apparently forming. But it’s good to know.

@[email protected] funnily enough, I switched from Linkwarden to Hoarder. I like the smart lists. Just bookmark everything, check it later.

@[email protected] no. I use the app service one. It works well, but it’s basically for bridging public channels. The Mautrix bridges all work very well. I’ve used the Facebook one in the past. It’s just the limits those platforms put on the bridge (e.g. banning or locking account) that can be a problem. If your bridge is connecting from the same place as you normally connect to Discord from, you should be fine.

@[email protected] which discord bridge? For Matrix? The one that operates as a Discord bot works perfectly. Don’t know about the ones that want your login token.

@[email protected] don’t got any of those.

We just moved some months ago. Still gotta put things in the proper place. A pile of boxes in the shed isn’t “organized.” 🫠

@[email protected] I definitely don’t have that kind of money lol.
