There’s footage of Hamas using gamer chairs and RGB keyboards

that interview being the chapo one from yesterday

[–] [email protected] 36 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Haha! I just lost some respect for the poster not mentioning Chapo.

Bluesky is like high school and everybody wants to be cool and only talk about the right things. Chapo is very much a wrong thing at that super-liberal site so the OP didn't mention them. I hate how social media turns people into like-craving lameos. So you heard it on Chapo - who gives a fuck!

the pod has been unusually good lately

Yeah so weird he said "an Intercept guy who reports from Gaza" instead of "Ryan Grim from Drop Dead News (formerly of The Intercept)" considering the whole point of them appearing on the pod was to announce the new site

Here's my two cents in this sub-thread - https://hexbear.net/comment/5104013

Ismail: "Okay, so the meeting starts at 6:00 but we're gonna wait till 6:10 in case anyone is running late."

Yahya: "Can you hear me?"

Ismail: "Yes we can hear you."

Yahya: "Can you hear me?"

Saleh: "Yahya I think you're headphones are turned off."

Yahya: "Oh shit, okay, okay now I can hear you guys."

Ismail: "Okay cool, now that we're all here, let's discuss our plans to destroy the Zionist colonialist project. Yahya can you start?"

Yahya: "Okay, so as I said in the Slack comment I made last week..."

Yuck Hamas should use Jitsi Meet which is not proprietary and owned by the genociders. Or a video call over XMPP.

That's my critical in critical support.

Is xmpp like element type thing? Should I try it

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Same type of thing, though in my experience it's been worse overall. Element has their "Element" app with basically all the features across platforms - or you can use one of the many third-party apps that provide a different experience and generally only implemented some of the features. In XMPP land, they don't have a flagship app. Instead, they just have the hodgepodge of independent developers making different apps for different platforms, who each only implemented some of the features.

Group chats are pretty weird in it no matter which apps you use.

Some people love it. I think it's mid.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Oh damn. I did see a bunch of apps for it. Element has a decent selection. I don't know I just wanna have backup if telegram becomes more unusable.

XMPP was the messaging protocol used defacto back in the 2010s. It's a federated platform much like Lemmy but the base protocol itself is very simple so it relies on protocol extensions developed by the community. Not all clients sport the same features and not all hosts allow the same things.

An easy start into XMPP is to use the Conversations client in Android which lets you sign up gratis to conversations xmpp domain. It is available free of charge on F-Droid but you can support the devs using the Google Play version. On GNU/Linux there aren't too many XMPP clients but the best ones are Gajim, Dino, and Converse.js

Element is the matrix client built by the Matrix devs. Matrix dot org has some special features like using Jitsi for video conferencing calls etc.

I have seen the fdroid app yeah. I guess I will try these and see.

If this post is referring to Ryan Grim and Jeremey Scahill like I suspect. They don't work for the intercept anymore. They quit and started their own website called Drop Site News.
