Thanks for your very prompt reply. Yes, I have included gajim in the very short list at Step 3. I added the link to my guide into my profile description just now (in case Mastodon-centric Fediverse clients don't show GNUSocial profile elements).
Its the small things in #Pidgin isn't it? Like not knowing the purpose of a window, no access to emoji (smileys are not emoji), little inconsistencies in what things are named and not suggesting the type of data to enter into fields. A few minor tweaks (and visual) improvements and it would be very impressive.
After I have done the CSS patches for GNUSocial instances I /may/ be able to help with Pidgin. If you know/see any #PidginDev feel free to put them in contact.
« But [political analyst Tatiana Stanovaya] added this approach [i.e., Putin bet that the West will fall apart eventually and Ukraine will give up one day, so today's problems won't matter, in Putin's vision] required Russia’s elite to blindly follow Putin’s vision of a Russian victory cementing its place as a great power in a multipolar world, without knowing how this would happen.
“This is his stake, but he can’t explain it to the elites, because it’s nonsense. You just can’t be convincing about it. This is why he doesn’t really speak about it. He doesn’t explain how he is going to win,” she said, adding there was “a growing problem” with Putin’s leadership.
“He creates too much uncertainty. He is completely unclear about where we are going, what our goals are and how we’re going to win. He has detached himself from the elites. And following Putin, without knowing where we are going, can’t last forever.” »
[Good observation on the latent instability of Putin's leadership. Reminds me of Hitler's lack of perspective (aside from simply going on) in the later years of WWII. The same "hope" that the coalition of allies would fall apart and each adversary could then be dealt with individually. And the lesson that a leading figure needs to communicate goals in order for his followers to stick with him.]

simsa04But what soothes all paranoia is the sound of the steady night #rain outside my window. It's been raining for hours and with every minute I grow more grateful. Which is something I didn't notice before: Rain waters the earth, plants, and humans alike. But in humans it nourishes gratefulness.

simsa04It only now occured to me plainly that I cannot arrange my books according to topics, authors, category, etc. I far more have to pay attention to the static of the floor, the directions of the load-bearing walls, etc. It Is indeed unpleasant to constantly feel insecure in your own flat because you simply don't know whether the floor is capable of carrying all the weight. #paranoia
Quick question, what are the easiest XMPP clients via I2P for a desktop linux?
As you can see from my profile and introduction. I'm hoping to guide people on best practices and options on this topic. I know that there is Pidgin, but I find it /not/ the most user-friendly.
I'm hoping to guide local residents towards ethical methods while running for mayor. Part of my platform is Public Money for Public Code (ie. FOS), but also about asserting one's basic right to privacy against tech goliaths. I'm guiding people to I2P, but if they struggle with it, can I include you in communications to them?
It's been a week and I haven't done the obligatory 'introduction' post!
Hi, I'm a proponent of both "democracy" and of "freedom". This can make a person controversial, apparently.
An artist, designer, food producer, privacy advocate I like to gather good ideas and 'action' them. Leaving me with many things that I, maybe fail, to balance. I like physical fitness but making time to do it...?
I'm dedicated to transitioning away from energy with long-term harm ASAP, while cognizant that some might struggle with that, especially if we hoard tech, or use unethical tech. It's part of the reason I'm passionate about Free-license + Open Source (FOS). As a Bach. of Computer Science its my duty to limit ill-effects of computers by saying 'no' to those who want to do bad things with them.
Politically active: currently running for mayor of a place I love.
Hoping to find like-minded fedizens, please boost.
