Says who? And besides, permanent border checks within the Schengen area are illegal.

Threema sadly blocks api access behind a paywall and community interest isn’t high enough to have resulted in a workaround using the regular client access.

As for the main request, it is probably a bad idea to move to messengers as the primary communication tool. I would rather suggest to look into a tool like Loomio that has nice notification options to link the decision making process to various chat apps.

Seems to be only a Windows driver hack. If this ends up being supported by Monado that would be cool.

They seem to promote the idea that Europe is behind on AI technology and that with the right type of regulation AI is something desireable. This is the lobby line that AI companies like Anthropic and Mistral have been pushing hard to differentiate themselves from companies like OpenAI, but ultimatly it is the same kind of false AI or bust message that all these companies like to push.

There is no feature to ban specific domain links in communities. So what you are really asking for is us moderators to get into turf wars with people posting these links.

Believe it or not, but this has been historically an issue in this community and my dm inbox is full of people complaining about us removing links to dubious sources.

I personally think Politico is not quite at the level that requires moderator intervention in blanket style. It is more like some tabloid that requires more scrutiny about the sources used and so far the commenters here did a good job contextualizing such articles.

That you think Gajim looks like it was build in 2001 tells me you haven’t used XMPP in quite a while 😅

The Signal foundation also controls the ends, as they control the official clients and can push encryption breaking updates to end user devices; in cooperation with Google/Apple even to selected devices of individual people which makes this nearly impossible to detect.

Such leading questions 🤡 That is an AI promotion piece in disguise.

Well, I think XMPP or Snikket is worth a try and definitely more reliable than Matrix, but you might also want to look at DeltaChat.

Mumble is nice, but it hasn’t changed much since the time people explicitly moved away from it to Discord, so why would they go back it it now?

No, I think it is rather an example of the mindset that only large conglomerates can be at the top of the value chain and given that most of the current eastern European suppliers work for such I guess that is a easy mistake to make from that perspective.

So why bring the example of Samsung then?

Yes, but it isn’t a Discord replacement, but rather a WhatsApp replacement.

https://movim.eu/ is xmpp based and might be more suitable as a Discord replacement, but to be honest it isn’t quite there yet if you are looking mainly for a voice chat app.

Uhm, Samsung is probably the worst example the author could have picked. These Chaebols are basically mafia organisations that have a severe negative impact on South Korea’s democracy and larger society.

In general this idea of needing “national champions” is extremely misguided and only leads to undemocractic structures having an outsized influence on the government.

Last time I tried they also worked mostly with Akkoma (which is the nicer software).

No, but I am looking forward to try Lepton on my Linux phone.

They always had an vastly outsized defense industry compared to their size, so this isn’t exactly news.

Me opens link expecting vibe-coded slop… and indeed it seems to be vibe-coded slop 🤷

I would like one that doesn’t list any shitty tech-bro startups that only differentiate themselves from US ones by being headquartered in Europe. But I guess that is too much to ask, as nearly all these lists are dominated by those.

Right, because I stated historically accurate facts 🤡 Just like I did here. Lemmy.ml users are such a joke.
