This is the typical traditional construction technique in Mozambique. These kids have probably seen it many times and I would actually assume that this picture shows no play but rather instructed work to make a shelter for chicken or so.

There is a better, community maintained fork now: https://github.com/matterbridge-org/matterbridge

https://hypersomnia.io/ can be played in the browser and probably also selfhosted.

The XMPP channel search has a few channels that are not assorted geekery, but yeah most of it is.

Fluxer is very untested and also run by a single commercial company (afaik). It looks promising, but I would not recommend it right now, maybe in a few years once it becomes clear where this is heading.

If you want a less techy people friendly app then there is https://movim.eu/ that works quite well and is proven tech based on XMPP.

The app is often used as a mandatory second factor for the browser page as well.

Would be cool to see them expand support to Fairphone 4/5 as well.

Edit: FP5 in the works apparently: https://github.com/pocketblue/pocketblue/pull/130

Yeah, but you (or someone in a similar situation) will have to take them to court for the legal situation to be clarified. Just putting another license on the code will not stop them.

The problem is that the AI companies claim they are just "reading" the code to let their AI models learn from it, thus licenses / copyright doesn't apply in their interpretation of the situation.

Misskey works like and is compatible with any Mastodon or similar Fediverse instance. Once registered you can subscribe to local and remote users and then only see their updates and not the firehose all feed as on the public landing page.

You don't need a Misskey (or Sharkey) account to participate in Japanese language Fediverse discussions, however note that due to different CSAM related legislation quite a few larger Japanese Fediverse instances are defederated from western Mastodon etc. instances due to frequently shared "loli" illustrations on the former.

It supports Webpush, so if you use a browser for the PWA that support that you should be getting notifications. In my experience it isn't quite as reliable as a native Android app though, but nothing really stops you to have both on your phone connecting to the same account.

Yes, but that is wrong. It is all open-source and you can run an entirely unlimited version with any xmpp server yourself.
