Yes, the whole app will be Linux Mobile ready soonish, but priority was to have the main screen first and get everything ready in-time for Debian stable inclusion

I wouldn't call it a fundamental difference. If I was to concatenate the 3 XMPP RFCs and the suggested XEPs from the compliance suite linked, I would end up with a monolithic spec.…

> nobody can tell me that bugs don't happen They do happen. And whenever someone does make use of them, that's considered unlawful - which is absurd considering that the bug is par…

Most of so called circulating supply is not circulating. 25% are in addresses that have been dormant for more than 5 years. Several percent are locked in "DeFi" or long term contra…

The complexity of a whole protocol and running a client for it (which is effectively what you are doing when running bridges locally) is much higher than just doing the necessary p…

I think implementing just the e2ee part of the WhatsApp protocol (which happens to be the Signal protocol with open-source libraries available) client-side and have a server-side b…

> server typically has done termination of the encrypted call streams as it does its routing. Dino already supports some kind of "double encryption", where even if DTLS-SRTP is ter…

Vala is a nice, modern niche language for GTK development. It certainly can also be used for other things, e.g. it can be compiled to WASM, but GTK development really is focus. Als…

While Dino and all of its dependencies can be compiled and run on Windows and macOS, this process is tedious and GTK isn't really well-tested on anything but Linux, resulting in wo…

It does work, but UX isn't as good and installation is a little tricky. Check out the wiki page here: https://github.com/dino/dino/wiki/macOS

Friends and family all use XMPP via Conversations and/or Dino. I also join a few channels of FOSS projects on Matrix or IRC with a bridge. You can even bridge calls to SIP and PSTN…

In XMPP, encrypted messages can either contain encrypted XML > Hi there! or raw text > Hi there! In Matrix, it's always encrypted JSON > {"type": "m.room.message", "content": {"msg…

HTTP would be fine as well, you could GET an XML with the form to fill and POST the XML with form data. But: - HTTP forms might be less flexible when it is about structured data. -…

Which modern serialized protocol do you envision here? That comes with good extensibility by design? Just the fact that XML is old, doesn't mean it's bad. It might be a bit unneces…

microG GmsCore is a FLOSS (Free/Libre Open Source Software) framework to allow applications designed for Google Play Services to run on systems, where Play Services is not availabl…

Dino is native, which means it is more likely to get proper support of hardware accelerated video encoding/decoding, best case leading to less energy consumption during video calls…
