OK, many thanks !

I'll just do nothing for now then. I hope if at some point a migration is required, it's sort of automatic, f-droid just starts using the Thunderbird app rather than the K9, without user intervention other than performing the f-droid upgrade, one and that would be it. But we'll see.

If you ask, knowing it's the same thing, I would have gone with just one app, replacing the other one, and that would be easier and clearer, :)

Thanks a lot again !

good idea, thanks !

Cool, many thanks ! I'll just wait a littloe longer then...

Oh, you mean using divestos-fdroid-repo? Well, before it became part of official f-droid I used to do that. I'm not sure how long it'll take to fix the official f-droid.org builds though, since I'd like to go back to it. The sad thing is that to move from one repo to another one loses all configurations/settings, :( But perhaps it's truly unsafe to wait until the build on f-droid.org gets fixed, if it ever does it.

Anyone aware if there are efforts to get it back building for f-droid.org? Does it depend on the Fennec issue getting resolved?

I use mull from f-droid, and f-droid started showing that when upgrading Today to version 1.21.1. No idea why until this f-droid app upgrade.

I guess the mull issue is the same. Both fennec and mull are at the same version on f-droid, 129.0.2, and both show in their anti-features that the app contains a known security vulnerability, indicating firefox has fixed several security vulnerabilities since 130.

Is it right to hope that once fennec can get distributed on f-droid, then mull will follow? I'm not planning to move away from mull.

Thanks !

Ohh, do you have miniflux self hosted somewhere so it does the feeds collection, and then on newsflash you hook with the miniflux reader?

What I do to sync (I don't read feeds on the phone) between desktops is to rsync these 3 dirs:

~/.config/news-flash
~/.local/share/news-flash
~/.local/share/news_flash

That so I don't lose the feed subscriptions neither the history of what I have already looked at, neither what I've kept as starred (there are interesting feeds I want to keep). If miniflux had sort of a client, similar to newsFlash, but that set everything in miniflux rather than locally, so that no matter different desktops (even phones) will have the same starred kept feeds, and the whole history and the like on miniflux... There's a python client, but I don't know if it gets any closer to newsFlash. I guess having miniflux, one can hook to it through any web browser as well, but I really like newsFlash interface, hehe.

The sad thing is needing to somehow keep miniflux running somewhere, which is not feasible for me, and perhaps for others, but it's interesting...

Just so you know you can get push notifications on Jami. Jami has been supporting unified push notification for a while now, but it's opt-in, some might not opt for it considering reducing privacy a bit, as some actually disable the proxy and some phone specific feature intending to prevent battery exhausting too fast.

For unified push support you can take a look at jami's article about its unified push support. I use ntfy BTW.

This banning culture of hate is ridiculous, you can disagree with someone, or even just ideas, but procuring "canceling" and "banning" to everything we don't agree is crazy. This mono culture of hate really saddens me. But perhaps you're right on your appreciation.

Some of these periodical rebirths of the debate about RMS, what are really looking for is discredit on the Free software, which is not the same as open source software. Drew is one of those, if I'm not mistaken because his blog is prolific, who believe free software has no hope, and the total triumph of open source, which in practice is correct, but ethically I'm not so sure. We should be aware of what's behind all these attacks, and I believe it's naive to think these attacks are just about RMS. Free software is ethical in the sense of the freedoms it seeks for the users, but that has no place on enterprises and corporations, open source has enjoyed a different fate because it's not as strict on respecting those freedoms, which under enterprises and corporations are believed to be too restrictive and against their interests. And here we are over and over attacking the organizations (yes, the FSF is attacked not only because RMS is part of it, it was founded by him as well) and people defending those principles, because in the end our minds tend to disqualify everything way too easily, made easy with this banning culture of hate. I've read about how useless it is the FSF, and also about how useless it is the copyleft, and these recurrent intend to discredit the one who started all that of course discredits what came from him, one way or another. I wish I'm wrong on this, and that there was no pun intended towards free software...

The original post was most probably included into the wrong community for sure BTW, this is an open source community, so looking to empathize about free software stuff in here is not going to happen, even less for RMS.

Is it because Fedora doesn't enable zswap by default?

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Improving_performance#zram_or_zswap https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Zswap https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Zram

One down side of zram is that you won't be able to hibernate to swap, if that's a requirement. On consoles this might be totally irrelevant though.

Perhaps a misinterpretation from mojeek's wiki:

Mojeek also displays significantly more individual entries in its search results than Google or Bing

Are you sure the phone it doesn't work on is older than android 7? According to its f-droid jami URL its latest version as well as two more also documented there, they all work on android 7 or later.

I use LOS4uG, and I'm currently on android 14, so no need to build jami myself. Can you enable "unstable updates" on f-droid's "expert mode"? Perhaps then you get latest app, and that one works better. Otherwise you can report an issue to the android client, and perhaps you get guidance from them. You can also use their forum to ask questions. I have filed issues only so far.

dino is a gnu+linux software, built with gtk4. If you're using windows then the option is gajim, which in order to support omemo needs a plugin, though I can't tell much more than that about it since I can't even recall when was the last time I used windows.

That said, conversations has one important setting if syncing devices, which is indicating that the client won't delete messages, the server will. Not sure why that is not the default, I guess statistically most xmpp users just make use of conversations and that's it. The other important setting is configuring security for omemo always. Dino doesn't need any setting for letting the server delete messages (it does when there's no pending device to be synced) and doesn't offer that option, and at the moment the user must be careful and set each conversation to be secured by omemo with no exceptions, but it's already merged on master, and waiting for a new release, the option for omemo always, as on conversations.

That said, using xmpp doesn't imply not having jami installed and keep trying it. Who knows, maybe you like it and it works fine for your purpose, and you decide for it to be you main messenger application.
