No aarch64 builds yet, but I have opened an issue. Might have a look at building this, as I cannot wait to try this on my phone (Pixel 3a/Mobian).

I'm really happy to see that they shamelessly ripped off discord. We saw with bluesky that having an ultra-familiar UX is a big advantage.

For mobile linux, I'm going to stick with Dino. I like that it is lightweight, natively supported and integrates well with the rest of the system thanks to libadwaita.

I'm disappointed that contributors have to sign a CLA that allows them to relicense to proprietary licenses. So, all the power goes to them.

I've never used Discord, so I thought "Oh, like Element, but less broken! Fancy."

I'm not a fan of Bluesky, but good point! Might recommend that client to a lot of people once it can do OMEMO.

I just miss ad-hoc commands, which Fluux already does. I'd prefer libadwaita as well, but having a way to config my IRC transport on the go is great. Gajim mostly works on the phone, but not as well as Fluux.

Pretty sure there'd be a community fork pretty quickly, as this is already one of the clients with the most clean UI.

That makes a lot of sense. I hope it works well on the phone!

Yeah, in fairness I'm probably overreatcting a bit. One of the things I really like about XMPP is the diversity of stakeholders and developers. I would be really sad if that went away.

in reply to erebion

Title is rather misleading. It runs on OP's phone because he's running a debian based mobile os. This won't run on your android phone.

Yes. It is. Thank you. This was supposed to be a reply to the 'no apk' comment. I hit the wrong reply arrow. Thanks for pointing it out.
in reply to rando

Yes it was and Android support is even planned as well, according to the README. But this is very early days for this client, so it's not there yet. Just as Flatpak support is also not there yet, as the dev hasn't yet figured it out fully according to the recent commits.
in reply to thagoat

It uses Tauri2 which does support Android. There isn't an Android version of this XMPP client yet, but it is on the roadmap.

Float, Wise, Koho, Paramount, and Brim join Payments Canada | BetaKit


A handful of Canadian FinTech firms are now in line to reap the benefits of the country’s incoming real-time rail (RTR) payments infrastructure system.

Float, Wise, Koho, Paramount, and Brim are now members of Payments Canada, the organization that underpins the Canadian financial system announced on Tuesday. With their membership, the companies can now apply to participate in payments infrastructure projects and rely less on third-party intermediaries to handle their transactions.

in reply to Otter Raft

Funny, just yesterday I noticed I could add money to Wise by paying it as a bill through some banks (cost seems $0.31 flat, way better than even Interac).
in reply to Otter Raft

Maybe I should know who these companies are, but this just made me think of

It's on Tubu. It's literally on Heebee. It's on Poodee with ads. It's literally on Dippy. You can probably find it on Weeno. Dude it's on Gumpy. It's a Pheebo original. It's on Poob.

Need help with NTFS and permissions please


in reply to Tippon

Since you can run the apps (glitchy as they may be), nothing is wrong with the read perms on the drive. Maybe write perms or exec perms? But ntfs perms don't map neatly onto POSIX perms, so it's hard to say. Maybe try setting the gid to the vboxuser group id and see if that helps?

You might also check out the mount manpage and look at the section about "Generic Mount Options"; this is the more in-depth explanation of the "options" column in fstab, and the defaults option (which depends on the distro) can hide stuff like nouser, which prevents users from mounting the drive.

Finally, look into ACLs and how to manage those for interoperability across Windows and POSIX systems.

Best case scenario, fixing it so your user has all access to the drive with the user,exec options fixes your issues. Otherwise, you've just gotta do the learning about ACLs and POSIX perms

in reply to GaumBeist

Thanks for replying, it looks like I've got some homework to do :D

I did look at the fstab page, but I didn't understand enough to get an answer. I'll look at the mount page tonight, thank you :)

Apple’s M3 Silicon Surrenders to Linux: A Technical Milestone for Open Source


In a major technical breakthrough, the open-source community has successfully booted a graphical Linux desktop on Apple's M3 silicon. This deep dive explores how developers reverse-engineered the proprietary chip in record time, the implications for the developer workstation market, and what this means for the future of ARM-based computing.

These people should get grant funding for reducing e-waste and Apple should pay for it.

If everybody at ICE protests showed up with masks and a gun would there be more or less violence?


Would protestors be safer? Thousands of masked people with guns. Chaos?

I can’t help but think that the only solution to ICE is a “well regulated militia” in combination with political reform, with both being necessary.

Peaceful mass protests are the only way to stop this authoritarian takeover. If it gets violent the government will always have more firepower.

Trump and his cronies want the protests to become violent. They are hoping for an excuse to throw in jail or kill anyone they do not like. Do not do them that favor.

in reply to foonex

Nope, peaceful protests have never worked at any point in history, and you are sold that they do, because it serves the interest of those in power who do not want to be challenged.

It's really weird how Mozilla is trying to market to the punk-anarchists and the AI techbros at the same time. It won't work.



Yugopnik tweeting nazi shit


Some people don't believe me when I try to warn them about the content creator grift. I don't care, I'm coming for all of them if they start spouting shit like this to their audience. They have a responsibility towards their viewers.

Second time I see him tweet shit like this.

At this point he should just stop pretending he's any sort of leftist. His mental health will thank him.

archive link so he can't scrub it off the internet: archive.ph/XWZD6 (still loading as of posting but should be ready eventually)
