@TheFuzzStone Yep it's a more user friendly fork of Conversations that has the important feature of allowing new users to select a server for creating a new account from a dropdown list, so they don't have to do research themselves. Having to choose your own server is what makes federation difficult for many people in practice.

Check out the most recent #Spectrecoin newsletter (July 2020)! https://news.spectreproject.io/july-2020/

This month's highlights:
* Update on the rebranding process
* Update on our fully standalone mobile wallet with private staking
* Core software updates
* Marketing efforts

@TheFuzzStone Do you use Qubes? Because if you run your wallets in a VM and do everything else on the host, your host can get compromised and then virtualization won't help a lot 😉

@debacle @TheFuzzStone Agree, although I came to the conclusion that Quicksy is a step into the wrong direction because it hides the essential benefit of XMPP, which is being an open ecosystem without lock-in. I recommend Pix-Art Messenger nowadays

@TheFuzzStone I use it every day to chat with friends and family. There is a nice (but unknown) XMPP client called Pix-Art Messenger that makes creating an XMPP account and using OMEMO a breeze!

@butterfly Welcome back ;)

@TheFuzzStone Can you recommend me some good crypto people to follow? :) People who not only promote their cryptos but share interesting thoughts etc.

@TheFuzzStone Do you maybe mean Friendica? 🤔

@purism Still no Thinkpad-style trackpoint + mouse keys I guess? 😕 That's the only thing that is really binding me to Lenovo notebooks. The comfort just overweights any other properties of laptops for me.

#Cryptocurrency #Spectrecoin is rebranding soon and is claimining to be "one of the best privacy cryptos in the market". Are they right?

Finally made the step to delete my Twitter account. #Fediverse, here I come! 😃

Yep they are serious about it. Fuck this. The next time I am able to log in I will delete my account.

@Penloy@mastodon.social Intriguing.

So, apparently Twitter is forcing Tor users through Google reCaptcha now, which in turn blocks off Tor users completely. Time to reactivate my Mastodon account again I guess ;)

@Wetrix Haha, hey sorry for the late answer. Well it's basically what you would expect. A cryptocurrency for porn. 😘

The new #titcoin subreddit is open! https://www.reddit.com/r/titcoin/

@TheFuzzStone I tried learning Vim some years ago but wasn't convinced. It just doesn't seem to be worth it; how often do you actually edit config files? Plus Vim has hard-coded QWERTY bindings and relies on the default US keyboard layout, which is really lame. 😛
