My totally unnecessary secondhand ereader has arrived! -
Writing up a little guide on Jabber/XMPP and noticing that today a lot of jabber provider websites are timing out as they creak under the strain of everybody making Discord Enshittification Contingency PlansFedi people: actually XMPP's encryption really isn't strong enough for day to day use,
XMPP people: [this message was encrypted with OMEMO, but not for your device]
Everyone else, in their Millions: sending nudes, warez, company secrets and seditious material through servers owned and operated in hostile countries COMPLETELY in the BARE-ASS CLEAR

Yaknow when you use something every day and it just works fine so you don't mess with it and you stop learning about it and it's just There, in the background, quietly and undramatically doing its thingLittle Johnny iPad is the new Grandma
"It's so easy, Grandma Ethel can use it!" -> ageist and also bullshit, Grandma Ethel loaded games off cassette tapes for her kids and knows that files go in folders and what a hard drive is
"It's so easy, Little Johnny iPad can use it!" -> still ageist but more reflective of generational tech skills

If I, the guy who's been using XMPP and running his own server for years, have to hunt around in the settings menu to find an encryption option, then Little Johnny iPad is just gonna bounce right off, he doesn't know that settings menus are even a thing

Anyway I actually looked at Jabber today (also XMPP) and huh, https://mov.im looks actually kinda interesting if I can get it to work
