XMPP lacks good clients and suffers from fragmentation of protocol standards implementation

  • For Android: Conversations is excellent, also on F-Droid if you don't want to use the Google store.
  • For iOS/MacOS: Siskin or iOS/MacOS: Monal.
  • For Linux/Windows: Gajim or Linux: Dino.

"Protocol fragmentation" is not a valid complaint about XMPP -- it's like complaining that ActivityPub is fragmented; but that's not a problem: you use the services (Mastodon, Lemmy, Kbin, etc) built with it which suit your needs, mostly interacting with that sector of the federation (eg, Lemmy+Kbin), but get a little interoperability with other sectors as a bonus (eg, Lemmy+Mastodon).

When human shields are used, the attacking party must take into account the risk to civilians. 191 Indiscriminate or disproportionate harm to civilians remains unlawful and the civilian population can never be targeted.

So, from this I understand that every time Israel makes an accusation of "human shields", it's a direct admission of guilt of war crimes in that they are knowingly targeting civilians.

Don't do it. Alkalines are all shit now and will leak all over your electronics.

Get some decent NiMH.

Yeah, X11 forwarding is only fine on a campus wide network, maybe city-wide at most, if the wan is fast enough.

Sshfs would also be painful for operations processing a lot of data (grepping gigs of log files or even creating thumbnails of images to browse).

remote access

To be fair, X11 forwarding is a straightforward thing, bearing in mind any security/performance/administrative restrictions which may apply to your situation.

Alternatively, SSHFS can be used to mount a remote directory locally.

Should one sympathise with car-supremacists?

Reader mode exposes a much better headline:

[...] The 92-page document compiled by the legal team lays out a number of specific ways Albanese and other Australian officials have acted as an accessory to genocide, including:

  • Freezing $6 million in funding to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East amid a humanitarian crisis based on unsubstantiated claims by Israel;
  • Providing military aid and approving defenee exports to Israel, which could be used by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) in the course of the prima facie commission of genocide and crimes against humanity;
  • Ambiguously deploying an Australian military contingent to the region, where its location and exact role have not been disclosed; and
  • Permitting Australians, either explicitly or implicitly, to travel to Israel to join the IDF and take part in its attacks on Gaza.

"The Rome Statute provides four modes of individual criminal responsibility, two of which are accessorial," [attorney] Omeri explained in a statement. [...]

Panquake have released some source code. Not for Panquake itself, but for a link shortening service. I suppose it's a brand-exposure exercise.

Transcript:

[showerthoughtsofficial]: When medication says "do not operate heavy machinery" they're probably mainly referring to cars, but my mind always goes to forklift.

[sauntervaguelydownward]: It has honestly never occured to me that this warning was about cars and not construction equipment

 
 

Does anyone know what this thing is? Some kind of decentralized, open source, anti-establishment, etc platform aiming to be an alternative to twitter, but we plebs aren't allowed to see or participate in the development process or even see any source repositories yet.

To me there's a bunch of red flags, but I can't put my finger on what I reckon they're flagging. It's that combo of roll-your-own-crypto and promises of decentralization and secret-open-source-development-model all tied together with node.js and blockchain.

No mention of other decentralization efforts, their envisaged place/relationship with the fediverse, ActivityPub, Mastodon, possibility of extending their new blockchain protocol ideas with other platforms. Nothing even about how they're better than the fediverse or whatever.

They were banned from twitter tho so they "must be legit"? The slides on the "tech" page mostly have this "COMMERCIAL IN CONFIDENCE - NOT FOR UNAUTHORISED USE OR DISSEMINATION" watermarks, which is pretty weird.
