Probably the opposite. By staying in NATO, but rendering it mostly obsolete, attacking Canada would be much less of a clear case of being an attack on NATO.

However, realistically speaking the rest of NATO has only limited force projection capabilities and thus wouldn’t be able to help Canada much.

Movim does, for Libervia and Dino I am not 100% sure right now, but at least for Libervia the browser version should have it as it is really more of a general Webrtc browser feature than client specific.

If it was an article about an organisation that is 95% or so female then yes 🤷

Maybe it was based on the “lifetime” of their hamster 🤷

I wonder why the BBC author seems to have explicitly chosen only images with what appears to be female Bundeswehr soldiers? Kinda odd choice 🤔

You need to set it to proxy all images.

The currently common older implementation of e2ee in xmpp has the same issue with only the message body being encrypted. There are newer specs of OMEMO that have better metadata protection, but its adoption in xmpp clients has been very slow.

Prosody is more of a sandbox, with Snikket being a preconfigured version of it, but yes running Slidge will be a bit easier with a normal Prosody server.

Well, maybe. But in which scenario would such a tactical nuke be used against an enemy that also has nukes? Most likely in one where the large scale conventional attack is already happening.

At least in Europe these tactical nukes are supposed to be a counter against a large scale conventional attack that can not be defended against with existing conventional means.

Then you have not enabled to full image proxy (and note that it does not work retroactively). Here on our instance all the Nicole images were proxied correctly to protect the privacy of our members.

Today xmpp uses a distant relative of those original jingle specifications, which have been modernized to use Webrtc.

Lemmy does have a functional image proxy, but due to the storage and bandwidth requirements many larger instances have chosen to not enable it.

Xmpp is mostly used for private groups and 1:1 chat, so more of a WhatsApp than a Discord replacement.

But you can find some public channels here: https://search.jabber.network/

The issues you mentioned have been fixed, and XML was never an issue 😅

Jitsi-meet is already using xmpp under the hood.

But there are some efforts to add multi-user video calls to full xmpp clients as well. Dino can already do it for a while, and Movim and Libervia recently added experimental support.

Its not quite a full Discord replacement, but for private groups it works quite well.

Why would you down-grade from Snikket to Matrix?

If you want to skill up a bit add a Slidge.im gateway to your Snikket xmpp server to access Matrix (and Discord etc.) from there.

Jitsi-meet does that. Easy to install as well.

There was a recent study that even a limited nuclear war between India and Pakistan would cause a global nuclear winter with billions dying from hunger.

Any tactical use would quickly escalate to strategic use. Anyone who claims otherwise doesn’t know what they are talking about (including the authors of the original article).

France has more than enough nukes as a deterrent. More important are credible second strike delivery mechanisms. Which rules out those silly gravity bombs the US has stationed in Germany for political reasons. How effective the French submarine fleet is in that regard is largely unknown, but on paper at least it looks solid.

Tagging @rimu@piefed.social as mentions don’t work in post bodies, only in comments.

Would be interesting indeed to have a database migration script or so.

What do you mean? Germany is defended in the Hindukush of course /s

Quite good analysis, well worth the read. Thanks for sharing!
