We are thinking of potentially moving development from Discord to another platform (Discord would remain as a community platform).

Do you have any recommendations for platforms and reasons why?

Examples of potential options are Discourse and Mattermost

@veloren did you end up choosing an option for this? If not, Stunt Rally recently migrated their developer forums to our Loomio and seem to be quite happy with it: https://groups.f-hub.org/stunt-rally/

@ayo sounds similar to groups or communities on Lemmy, no?

@Codeberg @forgejo Maybe it would be interesting to add donation support to via ? There is a funding opportunity: https://nlnet.nl/taler/

@tbss @forgejo @Codeberg There is a new 3 year EU funded project now to make it available via two European coop banks, learn more here: https://taler.net/en/ngi-taler.html

@kris@outmo.de avatar

@kyva @forgejo @Codeberg It's a fully open source alternative to GooglePay / ApplePay / Paypal etc. that is has finally reached a point where it might see some support from EU based banks, learn more here: https://taler.net/

Before you ask: it is not another crypto currency and does not use a blockchain 😅

kris,
@kris@outmo.de avatar

@tbss For now there are only two banks involved in the pilot, one in Germany and one in Hungary. You will have to wait a bit longer I guess. In general, your best bet will be a bank that is part of the coop bank system and Santander is AFAIK not.

Many of my friends are unhappy with members of private group and admin of public semi-anonymous groups being able to see phone number of a member since and currently takes the phone number as username.

We want to change this in @prav and allow Prav users to choose a custom username which will hide their phone number in groups.

We need your support to implement this. Please contribute to our fund raising campaign.

Thanks if already contributed!

@praveen @prav Wouldn't it be better in that case to not use the phone number at all as a user name, and rather only use it as an out of band password reset method similar to how some XMPP servers do it with email addresses?

Mildly interesting: there's this oft-shared Vonnegut quote, "We are here on Earth to fart around. Don't let anybody tell you any different."

I believe the sense you get from that quote is a kind of hedonic nihilism - there's no point to life but hey, let's fart around. In fact, the quote comes after a long anecdote on how computers broke his connection with his typist, a dear friend who he used to talk to and joke with a lot. The full passage is:

@kris@outmo.de avatar

@ZachWeinersmith would be interesting to hear the side of the typist. It might have been rather one-sided and electronic communities do make it easier to drop out. But mutually respectful online communities can work work fine for "farting around".

It’s nice to see some sunshine today. The challenge I’ve got is when it’s cloudy I really need the 4 I have, but when it’s sunny I don’t.
It’s time to start thinking about how I can utilise this extra power.

I probably should invest in a better battery but also perhaps an inverter so I could run an occasional household appliance off the solar.

It’s tricky on a small scale.

kris,
@kris@outmo.de avatar

@smallsolar I was struggling with the same. I don't have the entire house hooked up to my smaller solar system, but I ended up being able to run a air to water heatpump for shower water from my battery (supplementing an older solar thermal heater).

@Wuzzy@cyberplace.social avatar

I just learned of the biggest #bullshit feature I heard of: "view once" images in #WhatsApp. The idea is that if you send an image and select the "view once" option, the receiver may only "view it once". After that, it's deleted. And they claim it "prevents screenshots". How? I have no idea.

It doesn't matter because the whole concept is bullshit, of course.

Is there any XMPP<->Telephony Network transport other than JMP/Soprani.ca that allows me to make calls with Conversations (or any other modern Jingle client)

Soprani.ca seems like a pretty convoluted stack to set up if one wanted to self host.

TBH I don’t even know enough about the problem space to formulate what I’m looking for.
I think I already have a SIP account (comes with my internet at home / but never used it) so I guess I’m just looking for a 'modern Jingle'<->SIP gateway?

kris,
@kris@outmo.de avatar

@daniel there is a stalled project for getting it to work with GSM USB dongles: https://codeberg.org/pep./gateway_mm

And this project that does the reverse with SIP an the old jingle calls I think: https://github.com/AGProjects/sylkserver

Ich interessiere mich für Vortragsinhalte, mit denen man verschiedenen Zielgruppen eine sozial gerechte und nachhaltige Transformation unsere Lebensweise vorstellen kann. Diese Inhalte sollen nach Möglichkeit keine Angst, sondern Hoffnung auf eine erstrebenswerte Zukunft machen. Sie sollen das Publikum aktivieren, es zu kritischen Diskussionen anregen und zum aktiven Handeln motivieren.
scheint mir eine gute Grundlage zu sein.
Wo finde ich Inspiration? 🙂

How do I download an APK from Google Play store on Android without logging into a Google account?

kris,

@liaizon you can't. But there used to be workarounds like the Aurora store app or exporting the .apk from another phone. Not sure if that still works though.

Disappointed, but not surprised, by the utter lack of interest in over at .

XF 2.2 was released in Sep 2020. XF 2.3 will drop sometime this year, however, IMHO, none of the new features were worth waiting 3+ years (a lifetime ago) for.

In the meantime, like are testing a plugin, 2.0 will support , and plans to join the too. I'm sure there are more.

I really want to migrate to another platform.

    @valkyrie there is no landing page on solarpunk.cloud that one could link to, or is it a delayed DNS resolution issue?

    kris,
    @kris@outmo.de avatar

    @valkyrie I currently get a 504 nginx error. But it would be nice to have a simple landing page to link to that doesn't funnel users to the centralised matrix.org infrastructure like matrix.to does.
