Hi!
For the past few weeks, I worked on a new #XMPP project: #1999 !
1999 aims to be an XMPP client that is:
1. #free and #opensource
2. cross-platform (mobile and desktop)
3. modern looking, with a uniform look across platforms
4. user-friendly
5. secure

The goal is to have an xmpp client that has the same name, ui and features on every platform, which I believe is what xmpp lacks right now.

I am not a programmer so this is only a UI at the moment!

the pants in question:

**Bloomberg** of all places—you know, a major business publication—is now making a *moral* case for getting off #Twitter.

Twitter/X is now removing headlines from links and Threads/Meta is prohibiting searches of public health terms like Covid and vaccines.

Billionaires are dangerously restricting people’s access to news.

Reminder, because I keep seeing it repeated: Nobody is calling for a boycott on Bandcamp, *especially* not on #BandcampFriday. Boycotting Bandcamp does NOT send a message to the new management, all it does is hurt the musicians who depend on Bandcamp for their livelihood.

ESPECIALLY on Bandcamp Friday, where all of the money goes to the musicians and none of it goes to Bandcamp itself!

Boycotts aren't always the requested or correct course of action when it comes to corporate malfeasance.

i accidentally found a command prompt in the grand theft auto vice city switch base title!
you open it by tapping the screen with 4 fingers at once when undocked, which open a web based command prompt, this isn't available in the updated stub app that can be found on the physical release

Imagine a world where women don't feel threatened, and are with people, because they want to be, when they want to be.

There is a flaw in your machinery. Among the myriad cogs and gears that make up what your Witch calls "you", one gear has a broken tooth. A single warped protrusion among forty eight otherwise perfect and identical teeth. A consequence of the mishandling of previous owners. You asked your Witch to repair you, to make you whole.

She told you that the damage can't be fixed. The cog itself can't be repaired, the join would be too brittle, and the affixed metal would fall into your machinery, a ripe candidate to jam your workings. The gear is also too close to your mainspring to be replaced. She would have to silence your core too long to exchange the component, and She won't risk Her doll's existence for the repair, you are too precious to Her for that chance. You are left with no choice but to live with the damage. Every 48th heartbeat softly flutters as you twitch. Every 48th step stumbles. Every 48th breath quietly rasps. You learn the pattern, and dread each finished cycle that will betray your flaw, shaming your Witch.

But in bed in the small hours of night, you feel your Witch squeeze you tighter with every shiver, every raspy breath. To Her, your broken part is not a source of shame. It is what makes Her doll like no other Witch's. An endearing quirk of her favorite toy. She wouldn't dare lose you over this. To Her, that broken tooth is just another cherished piece of the many components that makes up what she calls "her wonderful doll".

I am a professional.
