devlug.de is a Fediverse instance that uses the ActivityPub protocol. In other words, users at this host can communicate with people that use software like Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, etc. all around the world.
This server runs the snac software and there is no automatic sign-up process.
Another strange difference between Gajim and Dino: #Dino does allow sending file attachments, but #Gajim doesn't. This is connecting to my Prosody 0.13 server.
Gajim 1.9.5 will show an attachment, as sent by others. It just falsely believes "No File Transfer Available", when you want to try to make a new one.

@derekmorr @evacide @eff @CNN I advocate #meditation above all. As to your question - If you are a geek, not a normie, now is a great time to look at #XMPP.
Alas, there's nothing really worth advocating to the normies of the world - I feel it's too early for them to adopt XMPP as a convenient-enough-for-their-expectations replacement.
If the normies *really* needed something *today*, I suppose they could pay an honest, reasonable price for an email address from an email service like posteo.net or purelymail (which support "autocrypt"), then use #Deltachat. Then use #linux (say, #LinuxMint for simplicity) to access this functionality, since it's not AI-patrolled like the other platforms:

@derekmorr @CNN @eff @evacide If users access XMPP *from a linux desktop*, not ever needing a SIM card, or cellular phone number, or smartphone, it is *then* they eschewed the AI-patrolled OS'. When I mention XMPP, I'm excluding services like snikket or Prav, which want to look in a smartphone's contacts list, by design, believing that discovery-of-contacts convenience to be worthwhile enough to come within range of the AI-Intelligence of platforms like iOS or Android.
My solution isn't just XMPP; it's #XMPP as accessed on a #linux desktop. You overlooked my mention of some linux desktop *as the underlying platform*, which would underlie that. And once again, let me mention I feel this is a route for geeks-only at this time, not normies. Even on a relatively cheap #RaspberryPi 5.
As to your mention of the 27 years: let me once again recommend the route of #Deltachat. For normies.
We techies really are nerds living in our own little bubble. Every time I talk to friends outside of IT, they just laugh at the things we take for granted. In our world, it’s completely normal to assume that everyone has their own domain, self-hosts everything, avoids anything proprietary like it’s the plague, and probably has a dozen side projects running on some self-built server in their closet.
But then there’s my friend, a mechanic, who finds this absolutely hilarious. To him, it’s like expecting every car mechanic to not only have their own repair garage at home but also to manufacture their own tools and, while they’re at it, maybe even start their own car brand. It sounds ridiculous when you put it that way - but to us, that’s just how things should be!

@debacle @janantos @nirro @bojkotiMalbona @daniel @dino @Monal I've heard that the #XMPP client Gajim for #Linux currently does *not* have Audio/Video calls, which will interoperate with these other XMPP clients. Also note: speaking of relevant devices/platforms - no good XMPP client which can do A/V calls for the #RaspberryPi seems to exist.
First up today at #FOSDEM: Upgrading Linux development and integration workflows with #KernelCI, presented by Paweł Wieczorek. 11:30 CEST, room UD6.215, see you there! https://fosdem.org/2025/schedule/event/fosdem-2025-6487-kernelci-upgrading-linux-development-and-integration-workflows/ #CI #Linux
With contributions including further enablement of #MediaTek & #Rockchip SoCs, a brand new debugging guide for devs, and additional improvements to the DRM subsystem, Collabora's engineering team was one of the most active for the #Linux 6.13 release.

@jackpearse @fiee @stefanmuelller wer jetzt nicht auf #Linux umsteigt ...
«Kleine Code-Anpassung in Linux soll in Datenzentren viel Strom sparen:
Kanadische Informatiker haben eine Möglichkeit entdeckt, den Energieverbrauch von Rechenzentren wahrscheinlich erheblich zu senken - und das mit einer Anpassung von nur 30 Zeilen Code im Linux-Betriebssystem.»
Das ist moderne Software Entwicklung und nicht das verschwenden von Energie um deren Aufwand zu rechtfertigen.
