You can't forward SMS due to how the protocol works, but calls you can forward using the "configure calls" command with the bot. Set the URI to tel:+15551234567

If you got a forbidden response it probably thought you were trying to send a link. Make sure you have no . in your message and try again

I barely even noticed they got replaced. They never got to have any story involvement or character development, just like most of the rest of the bridge crew in Discovery.

Cheogram Android has the send half of URL preview. I will be adding display on the receive side this year when I get the time.

I really found the coda/epilogue to be distracting. The end of the main story ended in a good place, with Burnham and Booker heading off on their next adventure. And then suddenly we're getting this long drawn-out "and then later after many adventures they... did something useless we can't explain but at least they saw their old friends again the end" just really took the wind out of it.

You mean you'll only see content from people you follow and only people who follow you will see you content? Sounds like working as intended the way things were meant to be.

If you modify the extensions.lua file inside the container you can do any manner of complex stuff like this, yeah, it's a full asterisk inside there.

Yes if you consistently use over 3GB of data every single month you can probably find a cheaper option elsewhere

Don't be so sure. They did that zoom in on the watch for a reason ;)

Well, perhaps the UI themes don't look like what you prefer, I can't predict that one way or the other, but none of them are "outdated".

There is no one app that runs on all of those right now. Snikket has apps for both Android and iOS but it's two apps not a cross-platform app. You'll likely get best results using an app optimized for the platform in question (such as Cheogram Android, Snikket iOS, beagle.im, or Movim).

Which platforms do you want it to "cross" ?

Stop looking at the federated timeline. Look at posts from people you follow only and you'll never see spam.

Yes, that is a feature of OMEMO called "perfect forward secrecy" where newly added devices cannot decrypt messages sent from before they were added.

Not sure what you mean by "decrypt" here?

Why would you want this? If you want to see posts from someone, you can follow them.

I'll stick with the proper bidirectional gateway, but this is an interesting second option.

I'm surprised to hear you're having trouble with inbound calls not ringing. Do you have trouble with other inbound XMPP messages?

If Conversations wants it 🙂. I'm happy to do the work, but not if it's unlikely to be merged.

By that count we could also count every Matrix user as a Jabber user. And every SMS user!

To be fair, the ads are the only reason it's possible for the creators to make money.

Also, a business model not using ads is possible, doesn't have to go to non-commercial

These instances are on Pleroma at the moment, and the default frontend we use is Soapbox. There are several other good frontends for Pleroma as well including https://notabug.org/halcyon-suite/halcyon and https://pinafore.social/ -- I believe all 3 of these frontends can be used with Mastodon as well but I have not tried that myself.

This tool requires the server to support pubic BOSH or websockets or something like that, IIRC

Yes, it is currently Pleroma based. I'd be curious to hear more about the ejabberd thing, if you know.

https://aria-net.org/SitePages/Portal/Bridges.aspx has fixed almost all the papercuts with Bifrost from the XMPP side

ActivityPub is the standardization of the ActivityPump (aka PumpIO) protocol, so all this came from that massive fuck you Even threw at the community. Set us back years, but we're starting to see progress again these days I think, a little.

Matrix and XMPP are radically different protocols with different strengths. At the moment, the most popular apps for both protocols implement very similar user experience (for "chatting") and so usually you will see people comparing the UX of these apps and their use case rather than comparing the protocols at all.

The basics of the two protocols are as follows:

Matrix is based on the idea of a decentralized, eventually consistent database.

XMPP is based on the idea of near-real-time federated passing of extensible messages.

That's an interesting strategy. I chose to have https://git.singpolyma.net/cheogram-smtp live behind a mailserver instance on the same box just to handle any SMTP edge cases, etc, but speaking the SMTP directly does probably give a bit of control.

Hello!

I love standardized pay, though was surprised to see the low number they chose, especially given it seems their revenue would support more.

Yes, in fact some people were doing it before. The only change is that we have made it easier to do from signup flow, provided a tool at https://cheogram.com/matrix for people to get the mxids for their phone numbers, and updated some of our docs to be more accessible to matrix users.

I honestly put it on the sdcard when I got the device just to play around and always sort of intended to flash emmc and just have never got around to it. Maybe I should though. I guess now that sxmo is just part of pmOS (and has been for ages) I don't probably have to flash anything, just install sxmo and copy my homedir.
