This is kind of their thing WDYM? The flaw of Soviet-style autarky is that you can’t uproot imperialism by cutting yourself off from it, not a failure to meet the basic needs of the people.
Expect the DPRK to become an industrial powerhouse now that China and Russia are warming up to them more. South Korea, eventually, will play a huge part in its development. Think Iran, but not menaced by Israel, holding nuclear weapons. Very intriguing situation. Most nations are still behind Iran in rocket technology. “You can just lock in and do things.”
PeerGOS is the best there is. Encrypted, self-hostable (FOSS of course), federated, peer-to-peer features, and its own app ecosystem. I consider it the crown jewel of federated technologies along with XMPP, Delta Chat, and Peertube
Nextcloud’s encryption… good luck even getting it to work lol. Might as well automatically zip and password lock stuff instead oof
Please support the devs I have found nothing like it anywhere!! (Currently their own offerings are inefficient compared to other datacenters but I buy it basically just to keep the lights on.)
Oh I missed which instance you’re on. World is basically for people who miss reddit. I only vouch for the rules on this particular instance. Which are stict, but fair. Lemmygrad and Hexbear will ban you no matter what if you disagree with a regular or mod. Same with World or the 500 other liberal ones. Good luck. ☺️
I used to look down on the whole debate & logic thing since I flirted with American policy debate in high school, which is disgusting game for charlatans. However eventually I realized that the issue was bad premises, me being too rude to people, and that nobody explained logic to me until I was studying comp eng 🫠
Be passionate about logic, self-critical, and kind. Then you never have to hesitate before striking a man down.
It’s great I come here to argue with people until I am forced to assign myself homework. Reddit just bans you over and over unless you are 100% chungus at all times.
The way you use the internet is called being a “reply guy” - major websites treat you as a problem to be engineered out. In addition, you can only use one app on your phone at a time.
Nothing could be worse than an Electron client. Honestly for me it’s XMPP > Delta Chat > Matrix > SSignal/Telegram/etc. Matrix integrations (apps) don’t even work on any client and they moved the bloated server improvements into a walled garden
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I heard that Matrix client is lagging behind the others in terms of cryptography?
No yeah I mean this is completely on a different level I just amuse myself by promoting XMPP. There are other phone gateways for it I just need to call Turtle Islanders.
Who cares about URL legibility in 2025? 😂 Aren’t you guys busy making like 7 different apps where URLs are even less visible?
To be honest, Yandex’s proprietary services are irreplacable and significantly better than Google. Many more languages too.

Wow, makes sense the cool kids are using this instead of something like Cheogram. I’ve got that FOMO you get when an opportunity passes by
Yes yes, using the share button is also annoying because then you have two Jerboa windows open.
Countries that are less keen on allowing Google’s monopolistic practices seem less likely to get blocked. Southeast Asia in particular. I’m sure Google knows what will happen if they try to play bad cop when regional telecoms are ready to eat their lunch. People will go to Billibilli and whatnot, immediately, and their other services will be replaced shortly afterward.
I don’t understand how every person responding to me has missed that I said “start chatting” not “continue chatting” but I will be idiot-proofing my lemmy comments from here on out, it’s exhausting
True, first time I ran into catastrophic problems (caused by entering in commands I copied from online, knowing damn well it was a bad idea), I got annoyed having to fish out corrupted files and shit, but I realized that anytime something had gone wrong with Windows I had no tools to fix it and could only check in on a loading screen that lasts hours. It was a learning experience
Okay that’s cool but even software projects like SimpleX need group chats for the software’s community to ask questions and such, where should they be hosted? Slack?
i breathe more hash oil than air
Fucking act like it then and calm down, I was just saying to the other guy, the issue is having to be online in order to connect contacts. That is a serious issue outside of people you’re already tight with, think abt how flaky people are even in important situations.
Besides, what makes XMPP perfect to me is that the ecosystem is mature, it will be around forever, it has a service I can use to access Canadian and US cell networks while abroad. It has an encrypted facebook style social media site in rapid development that any XMPP acct can login to so they don’t need to make a new account, that by design NEVER HAS THOSE ASSHOLES ON IT
Hopefully Webxdc on XMPP takes off more it’s currently only on Cheogram Android app and Delta Chat droid/pc. You can make collaborative editors and games n stuff if I guess you want encrypted tuxcart (someday)
Yeah I’m pretty sure it is, but you can run it yourself. I do not recall if it has been audited either
