I'm sadly still stuck in an edit run right now, but it sounds like a fun premise maybe even for a new novel 😮 thanks for posting it!
oof, that's just sad. i hope people switch, firefox is actually not that bad these days
Do you have any ideas for books you don't really know where to start with?
cross-posted from: https://literature.cafe/post/569180 (I thought it was a really cool discussion topic!)
Original post text: > I have a couple and I just honestly dont even know where to begin
So, do you have any? I've personally had some that at first seemed exciting but on more reflection, I didn't quite figure out yet how to make the premise really shine
About /c/writing
I hope this place can be a community for writers, like poems, fiction, non-fiction, short stories, long books, all those sorts of things, to discuss writing approaches and what’s new in the writing world, and to help each other with writing! Non-fiction definitely also welcome, or anything that might have a solarpunk spin in particular (not that it's needed!).
If you're new to this community, consider introducing yourself in the comments here: https://slrpnk.net/post/2054336
Also, make sure to check out the rules in the sidebar, I hope you'll find them to be sensible.
Writer introduction post: what genres or types of writing are you working on? How's it going?
This post is an invitation for any writers that happen to jump into this community to introduce themselves. You can talk about what genres or types of writing you like to do, how it's going, what pets you may have, whether you have seen the sun enough this summer (I sure haven't, been stuck revising too much! Haha), what informs your writing, or whatever!
Please avoid downright linking author websites or books here to keep down the self promo a little. But if you just mention the title of your works that's fine, but try to use this discussion more as opportunity for others to get to know you.
For what it's worth, this is a long rabbithole on the whole e2ee thing so just in short:
From what I gathered poking around in the past XMPP's OMEMO seems to have had shakier protocol design often leading to silently lost messages if you use multiple devices (I asked around among devs what it actually did and why, would take a while to explain) while Matrix usually has noisily lost messages so you can try to resend. So since that happened to me I've abandoned XMPP personally, I wouldn't know why these differences existed or whether it was fixed since then.
(Regarding group chats, I also think e2ee is still useful there, can limit leaks a little if you use history since joining and ban leakers if possible.)
hi i'm new! i would be interested in a matrix chat about climate stuff if there ever is any, xmpp seems a bit wonky with its encryption in comparison or it was when i last used it
