Momento tecnológico: Mudai para o Signal, sim? Porquê? Sei lá, para não apoiar oligarcas sacanas?
Até está em PORTUGUÊS lídimo, p'amor de deus!

Jetzt läuft gerade bei den #datenspuren ein Vortrag über #xmpp . Ich mag dieses Protokoll doch sehr, es ist erwachsen geworden und auch für die Zukunft fit. Es sind viele Erweiterungen hinzugekommenen, wie z.b. Reaktionen. XMPP ist definitiv nicht tot!

The state of #instantmessaging in 2025: I have one virtual workspace dedicated solely to #im clients. They occupy 820 MB of memory, which is actually an improvement since the last time I checked.

But I still miss the days when all I needed was #pidgin.

I don't really appreciate the new trend of sharing pictures from family events via #instantmessaging (namely #whatsapp). What people don't realize is that the pictures are so compressed and their quality so degraded that they're useless beyond viewing them in the app.
