Online-Kommunikation mit Behörden ist kompliziert, für Bürger*innen und Unternehmen. Verwaltungen auf der anderen Seite haben viel (finanziellen) Aufwand. Das soll sich ändern: IT-Architekten aus Bund und Ländern schlagen vor, wie alle von einer gemeinsamen Infrastruktur profitieren, und empfehlen das offene Kommunikationsprotokoll #matrix

Heute übernimmt #Dänemark die Präsidentschaft im Rat der #EU, auf der Agenda für die kommenden 6 Monate ist (wieder) die #Chatkontrolle. Nicht so auffällig wie Werbung in #Whatsapp aber deutlich gefährlicher für die eigene #Privatsphäre.

So I had some more thoughts about FOSS sustainability. I've had them for some time. But this weeks issues reminded me of them.

So here's a mild spruik for some of the orgs who make my digital spaces for myself and my project and also package @librecast

Has anyone explored using #JMAP as an interface to messaging protocols other than email, like #Matrix is used for chat?

Have you been laid off? Me too.

What if instead of just finding another job we all team up and build something together? At least we could act as accountability partners and help each other through this phase in our careers.

It doesn't have to be too formal, we could just take turns talking about our next steps and checking in on progress.

Oh, wow! The German IT Planning Council decided yesterday to consolidate a bunch of disparate communication tools into a unified system based on Matrix and MLS.

Here's the record of their decision and the other options they considered: https://gitlab.opencode.de/it-planungsrat/fit-ab/zapuk/-/blob/main/Zielarchitektur/Architekturentscheidungen/ADR-0011-Kommunikationsschicht.md

Is it true that Matrix server admins can impersonate users? https://tatsumoto.neocities.org/blog/i-stopped-using-matrix

#FensterFreitag

Cannes 2003 - es war Filmfestival time und an dieser schönen alten Fassade hingen Plakate des neuen Films MATRIX runter. Den Kontrast fand ich bemerkenswert !

"Next gen" #matrix clients only sending messages when all sessions in a room are verified is super annoying and unintuitive as soon as this happens in a bigger, private, encrypted chatroom. You can't just kick or force everyone in the chat with unverified sessions or force them to verify.

Furthermore: existing client implementations don't have proper fine grained controls (AND DOCS!) for this (yet).
