Sooo... #deltachat looks like a very viable alternative to #Matrix?
Only just sat down to finally read more about it but with how ElementX with it's client apps feels more and more focussed on whatever the devs feel is fancy instead of good user interaction it wouldn't be the worst to have an alternative messenger around to switch over to.

Nice! I hope, somebody will package it for #Debian!
(Not me. Already too many packages, sorry!)
This week we of course continued the customary bug-fixing, but got some nice new features and UI improvements too!
Let me also remind folks about KDE's end-of-year fundraiser. We're 84% of the way to our goal, and it would be amazing to get all the way to 100% before December! Then we can focus on those stretch goals from December to January.
Anyway, enough of the sales pitch, back to the free stuff!
And isn't that amazing? Let's zoom out a bit here and remind ourselves just how incredible it is that this software is made available for free, with no contract or license agreement, to everyone. To you, to your school, to community organizations, businesses, governments, even our direct competitors to study and examine (which goes both ways, and helped me fix a bug in GTK this week; read on for details). It's kind of wild, if you think about it. But, here we are, and we want to keep on being a light in a tech world that sometimes seems to be darkening. Help us keep that light glowing!

On this 37th anniversary of The Max Headroom Incident, I want to pay honor to The 1337 who pulled this off and has never been identified.
You are the undisputed king of broadcast intrusion, and cool.
If we ever meet, you don’t have to tell me, but just know, you have my respect, Hack King.

Conservatives still don’t seem happy.
When Trump won —against all odds, scandals, lawsuits, collapsing bridges, and the overwhelming weight of his own chaotic existence—you’d think the celebration would’ve lasted longer.
But no, the reaction wasn’t joy. It was this weird, brittle gloating. 🧵

I tried Delta Chat by @delta some years ago and liked it.
But it still does not have a usable, native (i.e. GTK, not #Electron!) client for my OS, #Debian, therefore it's not my cup of tea.
Maybe I can interact with Delta Chat users soon, using this Email #XMPP gateway by @Goffi?
