Hi, #Debian #XMPP team member here, and very likely the person who uploaded #Dino and #Gajim indirectly to your Mint distro 🙂
I'm using both Dino and Gajim on a daily base and they are pretty stable for me. Dino always crashes after disabling an account (but how often do you do that 🙂) and Gajim almost never crashes for me.
Note, that both #Jabber clients have debug options. Maybe you can find out, what's wrong?

Build one.

Use #OpenStack or ask an EU provider to use it.
>> 3. I don't want to use a phone number for creating an account. E.g. it makes multi-account setups hard.
🔥 👍
>> …grey beard, but I'll stay with #Jabber 🙂
How about #Mastodon? 😉
I'm sure, that Signal is secure (for its intended use cases) and can be trusted. But… 🙂

Bei Programmen, die ich täglich nutze, ist es mir wichtig, daß sie in #Debian main sind. Externe Repos oder Flatsnaps sind keine Option. Aber Bug https://bugs.debian.org/981291 wird vielleicht irgendwann gelöst!
Bis dahin vielleicht #GnomeWeb fka. #Epiphany? https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/epiphany-browser
Ich nutze auch ganz gerne #eww, was aber für die meisten "modernen" Webseiten nicht geeignet ist.
Gibt es Vorschläge für Webbrowser für den Linux (Gnome) Desktop? Da Mozilla am Tropf von Google hängt, möchte ich von Firefox weg. Bin für Vorschläge offen und schon sehr gespannt was kommt. #opensource #debian #linux
Dear @Mer__edith and the the amazing @signalapp team,
After the last update, the Signal "desktop app" is requiring us to launch the mobile app - however, many of us do not have the Android or any other "mobile" version of the Signal app any more.
We are a large (by our standards) group of #Linux phone users, and your "desktop" app is our "mobile" app : )
Our previous phones on which #SignalApp was initially activated was an Android or Apple device and we have since then completely migrated to #Linuxphones. Some of us may have registered Signal on #signalcli, Flare, #Molly, Signal Android in #WayDroid, etc.
The #mobileLinux community is growing - we have members spanning a good number of projects and devices, e.g.
- @purism #Librem5 and #LibertyPhone running #Debian-based #PureOS #GnuLinux, #Alpine-based #PostmarketOS or #Mobian,
- @PINE64 #Pinephone and PP Pro running #ManjaroARM, #SailfishOS, etc.
- @furilabs #FLX1 running #Droidian-based #FuriOS,
- a wide variety of Android phones (including OnePlus 6, Google Pixel 3, #Fairphone 4 & 5) running #Alpine-based @postmarketOS ,
- @volla , #Fxtec and #Brax3 devices running #UbuntuTouch by @ubports,
- devices running @mobian which is part of #Debian project, etc.
[Apologies to any project I may have failed to include - you are all appreciated]

Ich finde es immer wieder berührend, wie Menschen in Open Source Projekten, hier Andreas Tille als Debian Project Leader, von der Gemeinschaft innerhalb ihrer freiwilligen Arbeit sprechen. Plötzlich hat man eine Familie mit 1000 Menschen weltweit, die gleich ticken und mit denen man gemeinsam arbeitet, um die Welt ein kleines bisschen besser zu machen. ❤️ #clt2025 #opensource #debian

I am an idiot (yes, I know that this is not news to some people).
After nearly 2 years of use, I realised today that this laptop has a fingerprint reader installed.
It never showed up in hwinfo so I didn't do anything about it, but for some reason today I installed the software for it (Debian, in the repo) ... & the fingerprint sensor worked.
No-one else is interested of course, but I'm quite delightd by it all. No more tedious passwords on the lock screen etc.

@tk My #prosody 0.12.5 server also can't do reactions in chatrooms - #XMPP clients are #Conversations and #Gajim. There is a claim that Prosody supports XEP-0421 here:
https://prosody.im/doc/xeplist
...ever since 0.12, but it's not enabled/installed by default, as stock-installed on #Debian 12 (from the backport for 0.12.5).
Note: XEP-0421 is absent from this page:

In the meantime, see you in Brest in July :-)
Some personal #debian 
news here
I'm incredibly grateful, humbled and excited to have been entrusted with the opportunity to serve on Debian's technical committee. I'm looking forward to a lot of listening, learning and careful work.
Feels a bit self-congratulatory, but this is the sort of thing I'm particularly proud to spend my time on earth helping with.
🍵Wow, #LibreOffice has gotten a lot of nice features in the past couple years!
(Mainly looking at active row/column highlighting in LO Calc).
Definitely worth running the #Flatpak version on #Debian! <3
