[spam] neochat: A client for matrix, the decentralized communication protocol
by Undiscussed Horrific Abuse, One Victim of Many 14 Mar '22

14 Mar '22

https://github.com/KDE/neochat # NeoChat NeoChat is a client for Matrix, the decentralized communication protocol for instant messaging. It is a fork of Spectral, using KDE frameworks, most notably Kirigami, KConfig and KI18n. ## Get it A stable release [is available](https://apps.kde.org/en/neochat) for download for Linux distributions. Along with the stable release, a Flatpak version is available for the nightly version: ``` flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists kdeapps --from https://distribute.kde.org/kdeapps.flatpakrepo flatpak install kdeapps org.kde.neochat ``` A nightly build is also available for Android in the [KDE nightly F-Droid repo](https://community.kde.org/Android/FDroid) and can also directly be downloaded from the [binary factory]( https://binary-factory.kde.org/view/Android/job/NeoChat_Nightly_android-arm… ). Nightly builds for [Windows]( https://binary-factory.kde.org/job/NeoChat_Nightly_win64/) [MacOS]( https://binary-factory.kde.org/job/NeoChat_Nightly_macos/) and [AppImages]( https://binary-factory.kde.org/job/NeoChat_Nightly_appimage/) can also be downloaded from the [binary factory]( https://binary-factory.kde.org/search/?q=neochat) ## Features * Sending messages * Sending files from clipboard and filesystem * Reply to message (right-click on a message to access menu) * Start a private chat (but not encrypted) * Show notifications, for the moment there is only a global switch to disable it. We plan to implement the configuration part of the specification soon. * Autocompletion of usernames in chat * Emoji picker * Basic room setting page * Send and accept invitations * /rainbow <message> (very important) * /me <message> NeoChat is still missing a few features to become a full-featured Matrix client (most notably encryption support and video chat support). We welcome contributions in this direction. ## Contact You can reach the maintainers at #neochat:kde.org, if you are already on Matrix. Development happens in http://invent.kde.org/network/neochat (not in GitHub). ## Acknowledgement This program utilizes [libQuotient]( https://github.com/quotient-im/libQuotient/) library and some C++ models from [Quaternion]( https://github.com/quotient-im/Quaternion/) This program is a fork of [Spectral]( https://gitlab.com/spectral-im/spectral/) ## License ![GPLv3](https://www.gnu.org/graphics/gplv3-127x51.png) This program is licensed under GNU General Public License, Version 3.

The Rise of Btc and the fall of Chekist dictatorshits
by professor rat 14 Mar '22

14 Mar '22

21 million is becoming a significant figure in modern history. After all it only cost German imperialism about that to create a pro-German-militarist coup in Russia. With Imperial German militarist money, supplied by Helphand-Parvus, Lenin was able to return to Russia and pay Lettish mercenaries to act as Police. He was the only politician in a position to do so and in this way Bolshevik success was achieved. The Gold Marks were worth about 20 million in modern money - but then you factor in sealed-trains and what-not. Never doubt 21 million can change history!

So the Batshit-Crazy hates all Jews and will attack liberal democracy & its corporations. I wonder if there is anyone this Batshit-Crazy in Latin America? Maybe calling themselves a ' Natural Rights Anarchist"? https://groups.io/g/marxmail/topic/russian_fascist_aleksandr/89758553?p=,,,… Reposts are not endorsements unless stated as such.

The cryptoanarchist internet is taking off faster than, well...the internet
by professor rat 14 Mar '22

14 Mar '22

“2021 was an accelerating growth year and the Reed’s Law effect of networks built upon networks creating even more exponentiality is clear. But year six after the first five million users, crypto has 295 million participants and the internet had 119 million. Crypto is growing at 137% a year while the internet grew at 76%. As I always say, this is the fastest adoption of technology the world has ever seen.” https://dailyhodl.com/2022/03/12/raoul-pal-unveils-new-valuation-model-for-…

'Rudderless' city government faulted for Minneapolis protest response after George Floyd's murder
by Gunnar Larson 13 Mar '22

13 Mar '22

(CNN)An outside review of Minneapolis' response to protests in the spring of 2020, following the murder of George Floyd by a city police officer, found widespread chaos and poor communication among city leaders that contributed to an unorganized police response to violent unrest that later spread across the country. https://www.cnn.com/2022/03/12/us/minneapolis-protest-report/index.html

Cryptocurrency: Litigation Finance - Distributed Investments In Interesting Outcomes
by grarpamp 13 Mar '22

13 Mar '22

>> [Litigation Finance threads...] > You're not offering anonymous financing opportunities > for crypto early adopters to assist with, so you'll have > that much harder time making and finding financing > markets for cases. ie Funders may wish to be anon, such as they often are with donations to charity (Sean's Outpost, Pineapple Fund), with early whales just as able to contribute percentages as today's newest users are. All sorts of possible cases exist... a) Kyle Rittenhouse is filing a pile of slander / libel cases against people who have called him a murderer etc, even after he was found not guilty. Some of the cases may lose with costs, some may win with payout. b) Cigarettes, Asbestos, Coal Miners Lung c) Patent invalidation d) Government murder of civilians e) Forced firing unvaxed of workers f) Coverups, extortion, fraud, torts... g) People who got screwed, bad situations, justice needed... h) Etc... whatever markets may find interesting and worthwhile Were crypto litigation finance markets to be established, financiers could review all the case prospectus, litigator performance, cost per payout potential, jurisdiction shopping, etc... and choose which they like to invest in, as would investors in any other open market. Pay into a crypto address, get paid out that percent of all funds that went into it, right back to the sending address. Lots of opportunities exist where [often poor / oppressed] litigants or classes have rock solid cases but have no funds to launch and carry them through, and no encouragement / hope / mentors / peers to do it with. Often litigants have nowhere to turn if they can't find capable or willing representation in their city. And markets have no current exploration activities or methods, or venture capital solicitation fora (Shark Tanks), for seeking out those cases. While LitFin applies to and enables traditional "in person" courts just the same, digital court filings and remote court appearances are a good match as well. With easy crypto crowdfunding, the litigation finance market is ripe for development and its first big wins.
