Con todo este revuelo de Whatsapp y Facebook y las migraciones masivas a Telegra y Signal, humildemente, se reciben pedidos de cuentas nuevas de Jabber/XMPP a xmpp@buzon.uy en buzon.uy, el mejor servidor uruguayo de Jabber/XMPP :xmpp: #buzon #uruguay

Telegram scheint Medienberichten zufolge einzelne Neonazi-Gruppen vom Netz zu nehmen. Und für alle, die jetzt meinen, das wäre etwas vollkommen neues: Bei IS-Gruppen wurde es schon lange so gehandhabt, dass sie von der Plattform geschmissen wurden. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2021/01/telegram-nazi-ban/

...und jetzt können wir uns ruhig mal alle fragen ob es eine gute Idee war einem Parteipolitiker, der Rassismus nicht so schlimm findet und Misogynie in der eigenen Partei auch nicht, einen derart prominenten Slot auf dem #35C3 gegeben zu haben. Die Vorwürfe waren nicht neu. Das war seit Jahren immer wieder diskutiert worden. Viellcht ist das ja ein weiteres Argument, in solchen Sachen mehr auf Frauen in der Community zu hören... aber was weiß ich schon. 🤫

We interviewed Daniel Vetter
about why he chose to be one of this year's matching donors! (BTW we're very very close to meeting the match, you can help us push it over the top!)

¿alguien conoce alguien en #Uganda?

Muchos perfiles de las redes y mensajerías #gafam han sido bloqueados por parte de las empresas por el tema de los bots influensers pero tambíen los perfiles de los funcionarios de gobie3rno y otros, ahora el gobierno ha bloqueado las aplicaciones y plataformas de estas empresas y algunas tiendas de aplicaciones La pegunta es: como afecta esto al #fediverso incluyendo #xmpp y similares?

I occurs to me that using proprietary software is a bit like paying someone to include you in their protection racket. (and if you're not paying in $, you're paying in loss of privacy and/or data sovereignty... or all 3).

Does anyone here know of a good text-to-speech engine? I'm trying to render Swedish. I've played with espeech, Google's TTS and Amazon Polly. It turns out that GTTS with WaveNet voices is magically good, Polly is good enough, while espeech sounds like my Amiga did back in the late 80s/early 90s...

Is there any FOSS alternative out there that actually works?

Hey, so one downside of reversible suspensions in Mastodon 3.3.0 is that due to an oversight, the suspension is only communicated to the account's followers, which is usually far from everyone who needs to know about it. Due to this, a lot of already suspended accounts keep getting reported from other servers. Until we release a fix, consider checking if the account still exists on the original server whenever possible. Sorry for the inconvenience.

A while back I was given maintainership of a program I use. Soon I’m going to land a complete redesign and rewrite on the repo, implemented without referencing the old code at all. How much should I credit the original author in the repo/program itself?

The closest thing I'm thinking of implementing in Haphaestus is the ability to poll a server for updated page snippets to insert whilst a particular link is selected.

For Rhapsode, I'll never allow pages to autoupdate themselves, that's a terrible auditory UX!

This is some decent FSF propaganda... https://www.fsf.org/videos/fight-to-repair/
