Article bien rageant qui vient rappeler à quel point être dépendant de la voiture est un puissant moteur pour le vote RN. Proposer des alternatives à la voiture ce serait aussi faire reculer l'extrême droite.

"Il est frappant de constater que ce sont les jeunes ruraux dont la mobilité est quotidiennement difficile qui sont les plus nombreux à porter leur dévolu sur la droite radicale "

@nassigny « Il est frappant de constater que ce sont les jeunes ruraux dont la mobilité est quotidiennement difficile qui sont les plus nombreux à porter leur dévolu sur la droite radicale" »

Depuis quand le R.N. est appelé « droite radicale » et pas « extrême droite » ? En plus d'être dépolitisant (tout comme l'utilisation de « ultradroite »), ça rapproche de LFI qui, quand non nommé stupidement « extrême gauche », est appelé « gauche radicale ».

Just pushed a new protoXEP for implementing Remote Control in , along with an accompanying implementation in !

This is exciting, as it enables not only Remote Desktop, but also controlling devices without video feedback - like using your phone as an ad-hoc touchpad, laptop keyboard to control a Single-board computer, or making automation scripts, and more!

It's designed to be extensible, with plans to add clipboard sharing and gamepad input. Thanks to for their support!

I like @Mastodon, however I am also flirting with the could-have-been, @movim as a platform to discover. If only had proper compatibility.

@Goffi@mastodon.social avatar

@zsoltsandor @Mastodon @movim FYI I've built an <=> gateway thanks to a grant: https://nlnet.nl/project/Libervia/ . It's compatible with .

It's mostly done but still in dev version because I'm overwhelmed with work. It should be released hopefully in coming weeks.

@lil5 @zsoltsandor @Mastodon @movim why not? It's good, it's doing the job well, and commands are often intuitive. Also I've started the project in 2008.

@adiz lol my bad - my tut client mixed up the threads.

The only alternative I see to Matrix right now is XMPP. I still run my own server. But it doesn’t come even close to compete with the number of available bridges (that’s actually the main thing I use Matrix for).

The only thing that can still compete with Matrix when it comes to bridges/integrations is still IRC+bitlbee. But that ecosystem is literally falling apart, it’s largely based on libpurple extensions that often haven’t been touched in years, and of course you can forget decent mobile-native clients.

Or maybe just run alternative servers to Synapse, but so far I’ve had a mixed experience with them - Conduit is definitely snappier, but I’ve had trouble to set up many of my bridges, which seem to be primarily designed for Synapse.

@fabio @adiz Which bridge do you have on Matrix which don't exist on XMPP (where it's called gateway)?

Spectrum2 can use libpurple too, so you have the same as with bitlbee. Beside that, Slidge and Biboumi as mentioned in another post.

I'm myself working on a ActivityPub <=> XMPP gateway, and will soon start to work on an email one.

I'm curious to see what is not covered by all that.

Goffi,
@Goffi@mastodon.social avatar

@fabio I don't think that libpurple integration is great indeed, I've just mentioned it because you were talking of bitlbee, and spectrum2 is the XMPP equivalent.

Slidge is working on tight integration and is the way to go. And Telegram and Whatsapp are supported (I don't see Instagram though).

My point is that gateway ares part of XMPP ecosystem since the early days, and there are many. You say that you use Matrix mainly for its bridges, and I think that XMPP offer is similar.

Est ce que c'est une bonne idée de vouloir faire une messagerie compatible avec / / et et ?

C'est à dire qu'une personne avec un numéro de téléphone pourrait faire une discussion de groupe avec un compte matrix et un compte XMPP et encore une autre qui n'a que les SMS.

C'est jouable, non 🤔

apprécié :)

@lascapi ce n'est pas clair ce que tu veux faire: un service avec plusieurs plusieurs applications, un nouveau protocol, ou une nouvelle application ?

Dans les 2 derniers cas, il vaut mieux contribuer à des projets existant. Un client multi-protocols est difficile à faire, et souvent incomplet par rapport à des clients dédiés.

À défaut d'utiliser un protocol unique, les passerelles sont une solution acceptable, et profitent à tout un écosystème. Il vaut mieux les améliorer AMHA.

The Mastodon instance my account is on has been down a lot lately. I feared it wouldn't come back up. Perhaps time to get a new account, but where?

Preferably more on the free speech side, but not banned to all hell.

The mastodon.xyz admin has been chill.

@guusdk @jcbrand @claude

The gateway is a server component that can work with any server or client, not only .

About the status, it's working. I have 2 more things to do before the release:

  • HTTP signature for GET requests (it's only done for POST requests right now), which will make it compatible with secure mode of other implementations.

  • Use per-user encryption keys. For now it's one for the whole instance.

Both things are easy to do, I just need some time.

@Goffi@mastodon.social avatar

@jcbrand @guusdk @claude

Unfortunately not yet, but it's planed.

My current AV grant is consuming all my time, making it challenging to progress on other topics.

Feel free to work on microblogging XEPs: as long as they're compatible with and - it will with the gateway, at least for body. Reactions and likes require XEP-0470, not yet implemented in Movim.

AP DMs are converted to chat messages, so they should work with Converse and other clients out of the box.

@Goffi@mastodon.social avatar

@jcbrand @guusdk @claude Note that I have also relatively short term plans to make a way to easily install the gateway, probably via a Docker image and a getting started page.

Did you know that we support Full Text Search on server-side message archives (aka MAM) ?

Any XMPP client implementing this feature ?

Goffi,
@Goffi@mastodon.social avatar

@ejabberd #Libervia implements it for Pubsub (both in the Pubsub service and in the client part), but not yet for messages. I could probably easily add it, at least in the CLI frontend. Something to add in my (long, too long) TODO list :)
