@clacke Yes. That isn't only true of #Discord, by the way. I used to see projects nearly devoid of documentation, but they'd push you to #IRC. And same for #Matrix or #XMPP MUCs.
I use IRC, but if I need info (a config setting, the setup process, etc) some questions recur and should be documented so they don't clog up the channel. Others occur so rarely that only one or two people know a fix. Those especially need to go into the documentation. Not just because of "truck factor", but because even those people can forget if there is a long enough time between the question recurring.
Afterwards, I did a test connection to the #Federati #Murmur / Mumble server. It disconnected once over a ten minute test.
So if I do another #Office_Hours voicechat soon, understand that my connection may be interrupted.
Anyway, I got some great ideas. A has been trying to document #ActivityPub itself (S2S and C2S designs), various implementations (including the Mastodon API that is often used instead of AP_C2S), as well as other #federated communication protocols such as #Matrix and #XMPP. They suggested that "a better Matrix" might be able to be built atop AP.
I used to watch their game streams years ago, but the voice sounded different over Mumble. I'm told that getting a better microphone made the difference.
Can randos show up and would it be enlightening for us to?

They note that they provide everything under permissive licenses and then wonder why giant corporations adopt their technology without giving anything back.
Well, that is something that MongoDB and some other no-SQL databases have had to deal with. Their userbase insists on permissive licenses, then the largest and most profitable users refuse to support the organizations that pay the developers. In many cases, the result is some custom non-free license (generally masquerading as “open source” but neither free software nor open source software) meant to extract money out of users who make money using the product.
Personally, I’d rather see #GPLv3 / #AGPLv3 without a “buy a commercial license to avoid responsibilities” plan going into widespread use, but that’s sure to greatly reduce revenues. It probably means paid support is the main funding model.
But anyway, I think that Matrix has done really well for something that is inherently inferior to #XMPP, but has a pretty face and good marketing team.
So this is my first impressions about #volla#VollaPhone22 . I bought it with #ubports preinstalled and i already know in advance that i would not have a "perfect" out of the box experience.
In fact the most annoying thing i encountered so far is that the phone lose the wifi some times during the day and happened also that it forget the password. I also noticed, despite it's a new hardware, a diffused laggy here and there. I'm pretty confident these 2 issues will get soon resolved by upcoming updates. They are small and can tolerate them.
Instead i encountered 4 other issues i can't blame volla for that, but more ubports: - a missing carddav sync for contacts (there is just google sync 🤮 or vcf upload) -issues with sync the caldav data (the same caldav site - my vps - works smoothly on android so it should work also here?). - a missing #xmpp app. I'm trying to set up profanity into a libertine container but it's not as comfy as blabber/conversation on android. I would consider #waydroid as last resort, i'm not sure it is currently supported the phone? - can't record video, well it records and save them but then it can't open to show?
For the pro sides, well... - no more android/google BS, even sanitized by LOS and similar - i saw a lot of improvements in ubports compared to my previous experience on nexus5, morph browser in particular seems better and can browser smoothly. - no more google BS - the quality of the screen and phone seems good, display is nice and battery seems longlasting - no more google BS - so far i found all the apps i need in the store (except xmpp) -no more google BS -replaceable battery! 😎
In conclusion, soon there should also happens the 20.04 upgrade so i'm pretty sureall things can be even better and smoother. Once i fix the xmpp issue i will start to use it as my daily driver. I would not recommend though to a newbie (i'm not a pro either but i can understand and search solutions). I think also it's a bit pricey but you also have a replaceable battery which is very rare these days. It's the price for privacy and freedom 😁
Ya está disponible en Debian (Backports) la versión 1.4.0 de #Gajim. Después de un día de uso, no echo nada en falta, parece estable y la incorporación de "Áreas de trabajo" (estilo Element) me parece un acierto. #XMPP #MensajeríaLibre
@lxo I have an #XMPP account, but most of my contacts either don't have accounts or don't log in very often, so it does not get used as often as I would like.
@aab Good to see that @gijs is getting connected. I used to add people I had seen in the #IRC channel (and the connected #XMPP MUC) as contacts, to help extend the network. I should probably get back to that.
(It helps if I spell people's usernames correctly.)
