Israel never withdrew from the ICC...

...because they never actually joined.

To join as a member state, you have to ratify the Rome Statute. They signed, but never ratified or acceded.

I wish we had a secure, private, FOSS messaging protocol as the default.

We need a good alternative to having our friend networks fragmented across six different apps.

It's been around for years and it's still useful for figuring out when your gâcha resets locally.

How's mbin doing, lately? I switched (back) to Lemmy when kbin shuttered and haven't kept up with it.

I just don't know, man.

I think their songs would make for interesting comics, though!

Except you can't escape alphanumeric characters, so this implies people should do unnecessary extra work (to find the \ key).

An Alabama City Recommends Changing Its Laws to Accommodate One of the Country’s Largest Proposed Data Centers in c/[email protected]
[–] underline960 6 points 2 days ago

Weird headline. Is it the city making this recommendation, or the...

Despite universal opposition by the dozens of residents present at the meeting, commissioners voted to recommend changes to the city’s zoning laws to allow data centers in areas zoned for light industrial use and to rezone a 700-acre property from agricultural to light industrial to accommodate the construction of a hyperscale data center.

Yea, sacred was an odd word choice. I've met at least one trans person who was actively unholy.

I'll admit to misreading the Matrix news.

stage things this way to bring people to push the team behind Privacy Guides to accept a few XMPP apps in their recommendations list.

This is an amazingly bad faith interpretation of my post.

How to store data on paper? in c/[email protected]

This has to be a shitpost.

Transportation of paper-stored data

You can take the sheets with you, send them by post, or even attach them to homing pigeons

LocalSend is open-source and great for file transfer (or even just sending text) between my devices.

XMPP vs everything else (discuss.privacyguides.net)

Is UX/UI and marketing really the reason XMPP lags behind Signal/Matrix/Telegram?

Matrix is going Freemium and WhatsApp is adding ads, which is sparking the annual "time to leave [app]" threads.

Users don't care that much about privacy, but they do care about enshittification, so XMPP not being built for it shouldn't be a problem.

Meanwhile, I've heard for years that XMPP has solved a lot of the problems that lead more popular apps to fail.

Is it really just a marketing/UX/UI problem?

If XMPP had a killer app with all the features that Signal/Whatsapp/Telegram has, would it have as many users?

If not, why does it keep getting out-adopted by new apps and protocols?

Edit: Matrix isn't going freemium, it's introducing premium accounts to fund the matrix.org homeserver. Thank you for the corrections in the comments.
