      I rarely read #philosophy books, but one caught my eye, and I&amp;#39;m reading it. Is also about #psychology (&amp;#34;Adlerian psychology&amp;#34;)&lt;br/&gt;&amp;#34;The Courage to be Disliked&amp;#34;, by Ichiro Kishimi and Fumitake Koga&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&amp;#39;Say there’s someone who worries about himself and says, “I am a pessimist.” One could rephrase that to instead say, “I have a pessimistic view of the world.” You could consider that the issue is not personality but rather the view of the world. It seems that the word “personality” is nuanced and suggests being unchangeable. But if we’re talking about a view of the world, well, then, that should be possible to alter.&amp;#39;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;#Buddhism also agrees strongly here, in that people have &amp;#34;dittis&amp;#34; (views), rather than speaking of distinct personalities. These views can goi very deep, and can be foundational for a sense of core identity. But this is _anatta_ (&amp;#34;not-self&amp;#34;); isn&amp;#39;t set in stone.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;#books #reading

It&amp;#39;s lackluster at best and occasionally buggy.

      I tried out the #ooni network tester app from #FDroid. I have good connectivity here in #Malaysia, both from a cellular SIM card connection, and the monastery wifi (a fiber internet connection).&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;But alas, the Ooni tests don&amp;#39;t test for #XMPP, in their instant messaging apps testing! Only #Facebook, #Signal, Telegram, and Facebook Messenger are tested for, apparently. I do have trouble with XMPP, on the fiber internet here. Insidiously, brief XMPP text messages can be sent, but any video memo (say, 40MB in size, about 4 min worth of video) will only 1% upload, then get stuck. Attempts to resend will keep getting stuck. It seems that the XMPP traffic gets throttled to nothing after a small amount of data is sent: say, 400kb or so. I *can* send these video memos from my cellular SIM card connection.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I wish Ooni could have warned me about this, as it caused a friend to not receive a video memo for about 10 days, until I caught on to what was happening.

      I&amp;#39;m taking another timeless read through Aesop&amp;#39;s fables. This is sort of like #Buddhism&amp;#39;s Jataka Tales, but for Westerner culture.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&amp;#34;The Wolf And The Lamb&amp;#34;&lt;br/&gt;WOLF, meeting with a Lamb astray from the fold, resolved not to lay violent hands on him, but to find some plea to justify to the Lamb the Wolf’s right to eat him. He thus addressed him: “Sirrah, last year you grossly insulted me.” “Indeed,” bleated the Lamb in a mournful tone of voice, “I was not then born.” Then said the Wolf, “You feed in my pasture.” “No, good sir,” replied the Lamb, “I have not yet tasted grass.” Again said the Wolf, “You drink of my well.” “No,” exclaimed the Lamb, “I never yet drank water, for as yet my mother’s milk is both food and drink to me.” Upon which the Wolf seized him and ate him up, saying, “Well! I won’t remain supperless, even though you refute every one of my imputations.” The tyrant will always find a pretext for his tyranny.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Translated by George Fyler Townsend

      Even though #Signal *itself* has sound security - taken in isolation - it&amp;#39;s always moored in an ecosystem (that of smartphones which run #iOS or #Android) which, by default, have #AI set up to shoulder-surf Signal, sending reports back to the mothership. In #iOS, that AI is called &amp;#34;#Apple Intelligence&amp;#34;, and in #Android, it&amp;#39;s called #Google Assistant. Repeat, these are on by default. *Only a small percentage of your family, friends, colleagues, and fellow country-persons will pain-stakingly disable these.*&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Sure, Signal itself is secure by default, but &amp;#34;a chain is only as strong as its weakest link&amp;#34;.  And the weakest link is the ecosystem which Signal is moored in - that of smartphones policed and patrolled by AI, which report back to their respective motherships *in a strong majority of cases*.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Alternatives like #Deltachat (for normies willing to open their wallets/purses to rent an auto-crypt-compatible email address) and #XMPP (easily free to use, however realistic and mature only for non-iOS/#MacOS-users at present) have comparable E2E encryption. Deltachat and XMPP *don&amp;#39;t* require smart-phone &amp;#34;moorings&amp;#34; - thereby making it much more realistic to dodge the almost-pervasively AI-patrolled ecosystems.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;#infosec

      #XMPP enthusiasts out there: what would you say the ultimate Achilles heel of the XMPP ecosystem is, at present? Fragmentation of clients? What?&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;My sense is that it&amp;#39;s this: when one goes to store an XMPP address in one&amp;#39;s addressbook, there doesn&amp;#39;t seem to be standard way to store an XMPP address. #Android doesn&amp;#39;t have that as an allowable field, and #Thunderbird and #Nextcloud have an &amp;#34;Instant Messaging&amp;#34; field, where the type can be set to &amp;#34;XMPP&amp;#34;. But are these two compatible with each other when trying to sync between them? Edit: Yes, but there&amp;#39;s a catch: *the XMPP address must be prefixed with &amp;#34;xmpp:&amp;#34;*&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;So &amp;#34;user@foo.bar&amp;#34; is not an OK XMPP address, but &amp;#34;xmpp:user@foo.bar&amp;#34; is.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Then to make matters worse, now there&amp;#39;s a wish to change the labeling of &amp;#34;XMPP Address&amp;#34; to &amp;#34;Chat ID&amp;#34;: &lt;a href=&#34;https://gultsch.social/@daniel/114012904576436518&#34;&gt;https://gultsch.social/@daniel/114012904576436518&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;It might be a long time before the address synchy-ness ever works again between Android &amp;lt;-&amp;gt; #Davx5 &amp;lt;-&amp;gt; Nextcloud &amp;lt;-&amp;gt;Thunderbird&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Note: Android allows a &amp;#34;Jabber&amp;#34; type for an IM address, where you *don&amp;#39;t* prefix the address with &amp;#34;xmpp:&amp;#34;. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;(#DeltaChat gets to gloat hard here, as they have plain-old email addresses)&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;#prosody #conversations #gajim #dino #snikket #monocles #monal

    <content type="html">
      After taking a closer look at #XMPP clients for the #linux desktop, there&amp;#39;s this frustrating &amp;#34;tie&amp;#34; for finding a favorite. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;#Dino, which is likeable for being able to do video and audio calls, only has limited support for multi-user chat (complete with fancy moderation tools). These audio and video calls it can do are AMD64-only at this time.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;#Gajim, which is likeable for being able to do multi-user chat well (with great moderation tools), alas, can&amp;#39;t do audio and video calls to the other XMPP clients (like, say, #Conversations, as they use a newer #WebRTC-based method now).&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;So there&amp;#39;s this strange situation where one is tempted to use both at the same time.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;My takeaway is that #Conversations for #Android is the only xmpp client that I would   possibly and carefully recommend to family and friends at this time, as it can cover all of the above. (#Monal on #iOS/#MacOS only has &amp;#34;partial&amp;#34; support for Multi-user chat, BTW.)&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Yes I&amp;#39;m aware of the existence of Snikket, Quicksy, and Prav. No need to chime in on those.
