#XMPP enthusiasts out there: what would you say the ultimate Achilles heel of the XMPP ecosystem is, at present? Fragmentation of clients? What?
My sense is that it's this: when one goes to store an XMPP address in one's addressbook, there doesn't seem to be standard way to store an XMPP address. #Android doesn't have that as an allowable field, and #Thunderbird and #Nextcloud have an "Instant Messaging" field, where the type can be set to "XMPP". But are these two compatible with each other when trying to sync between them? Edit: Yes, but there's a catch: *the XMPP address must be prefixed with "xmpp:"*
So "user@foo.bar" is not an OK XMPP address, but "xmpp:user@foo.bar" is.
Then to make matters worse, now there's a wish to change the labeling of "XMPP Address" to "Chat ID": https://gultsch.social/@daniel/114012904576436518
It might be a long time before the address synchy-ness ever works again between Android <-> #Davx5 <-> Nextcloud <->Thunderbird
Note: Android allows a "Jabber" type for an IM address, where you *don't* prefix the address with "xmpp:".

After taking a closer look at #XMPP clients for the #linux desktop, there's this frustrating "tie" for finding a favorite.
#Dino, which is likeable for being able to do video and audio calls, only has limited support for multi-user chat (complete with fancy moderation tools). These audio and video calls it can do are AMD64-only at this time.
#Gajim, which is likeable for being able to do multi-user chat well (with great moderation tools), alas, can't do audio and video calls to the other XMPP clients (like, say, #Conversations, as they use a newer #WebRTC-based method now).
So there's this strange situation where one is tempted to use both at the same time.
My takeaway is that #Conversations for #Android is the only xmpp client that I would possibly and carefully recommend to family and friends at this time, as it can cover all of the above. (#Monal on #iOS/#MacOS only has "partial" support for Multi-user chat, BTW.)
Yes I'm aware of the existence of Snikket, Quicksy, and Prav. No need to chime in on those.

Hm, recently I think Nextcloud on Android is slow at automatically uploading the pictures I take.
In the past it was almost instant, now they maybe get uploaded in the next hour later. If I disable and enable WiFi it may work more quickly.
Would be great to get back to almost instantly uploading as before...
Der #ÖPNV in #Rostock ist eher mittelprächtig. Deren digitale Aktivitäten sogar schrottreif. Die #Android App der #RSAG erkennt die mobile Datenverbindung nicht als solche und startet daher nicht. Und die #VVW App vom Verkehrsverbund Warnow, über die die Tickets gekauft werden, hat auch ständig Probeme seine Server zu kontaktieren. Was sie nicht davon abhält, Geld vom Konto abzubuchen.
Fahrgäste die digitale Nutzung aufzwingen, die unprofessionell mit der heißen Nadel gestrickt wird. Es nervt einfach nur 🤬

Danke für den Vortrag! ❤️
Zu den Tips wie man sich vor dem Datensammelwahnsinn schützen kann gibts auch noch einen nicht im Vortrag genannten, radikalen: Die Verwendung eines Custom ROMs, also eines alternativen Betriebssystens auf dem Smartphone.
Auf dem Kuketz Blog gibt es eine sehr gute Übersicht für Android-Custom ROMs, in der auch gerade das Thema Datenschutz/Datensendeverhalten eine wichtige Rolle spielt und untersucht wurde:

Die Android-App der #TK #TechnikerKrankenkasse verweigert in der neuesten Version (6.13.0) offenbar den Dienst auf Custom-ROMs wie #GrapheneOS. Probiert es mal im vertraulichen Profil mit Play Services und Play Store. Da kommt dann der Login. Ob es danach weitergeht, kann ich nicht sagen, da ich keine Anmeldedaten habe. 👇

Teil 3 meiner Reihe über Lern- und Schul-Apps: Aktuell auf dem Prüfstand: #Anton. Überraschenderweise zeichnet sich ab, dass dies einer der seltenen Tests sein könnte, bei dem es kaum oder gar nichts zu beanstanden gibt. 🤩
