I'm excited to announce that #Convo, my #XMPP messaging app for #KaiOS has received a grant from @nlnet, or, more specifically, @NGIZero! 🎉 🤸

https://nlnet.nl/project/Convo/

I can now turn what began as a quick project made in a providential three weeks of free time into an app that can...actually do basic things like add contacts 😅

More importantly, it'll make the open and standardised messaging protocol available to a mobile platform where few large players have dared to tread 👟

#NLnet #NGIzero

A printout of an NGI Zero Commons fund information document, with a few things placed on top. Diagonally from top left to bottom right are: A Nokia 8110 "Bananaphone", an amigurumi (crochet) axolotl, and a Nokia 2720 Flip phone. On the top right corner of the paper is a round clockwork hen named clock-a-doodle-doo.

Both phones are running the Convo app: one with an empty group chat list, and another with a list of conversations. If you look closely and get past the pixellation and blurred-ness, you might recognise group chats with icons for: Convo, XSF Communications Team, XSF Discussion, and JoinJabber General Chat. — A printout of an NGI Zero Commons fund information document, with a few things placed on top.

Signal is trustworthy, IMHO, but it has fundamental drawbacks for me:

1. It depends on AWS and Google #bigTech infrastructure. As #EU citizen, I prefer EU based services or even #selfHosting.

2. Even their desktop client requires to have Google Android or Apple iOS, which I don't have nor want.

3. They ask for a phone number to register. I don't like that.

Fortunately, all that has been solved 1999 with the introduction of #Jabber, the #fediverse of chat 🙂

Another tiny little step to get #XMPP.rs into #Debian is done: #rust-weak-table accepted into #experimental. Thanks to the ftp masters!

Pues de todos los eurodiputados a los que les reenvié el mail contra chat control, solo ha contestado Vicent Marzà de Compromís. Ni siquiera las aguerridas y combativas podemitas. Supongo que no habrán visto votos aquí.
Se vota en Octubre, si sale adelante las autoridades podrán leer tus mensajes personales sin necesidad de orden judicial.

Es buena idea entrar en la web de @chatcontrol y reenviar el email a los eurodiputados pidiéndoles posicionarse en contra.

I just bought 20 envelopes and stamps, and I'm packing them with 5x #Conversations_im, 5x #OMEMO, and 5x #XMPP each.

Send me an email if you want one. Put 'Stickers' in the subject so I can filter. While supplies last, obviously. (Though I'm more limited on the stamps than the stickers.)

Are you looking for a better approach to federated chat than #Matrix or #XMPP? I'm working on #Chatterbox, a simple, straightforward federated chat protocol that, ideally, will be more user-friendly (and developer-friendly) than either.

https://adam.nels.onl/blog/chatterbox-federated-chat-that-doesnt-suck/

The blog post links to a gist with the full API specification, in a single well-commented Protobuf file.

I'm working on a reference server that should be available soon. Follow the hashtag if you're interested in updates.
