I mean, these ain't like in the old days where a few Megabytes got you #Pidgin and other Multi-Protocol Clients of the old days where everyone had to implement bespoke, custom and incompatible and *often completely undocumented, proprietary * protocols like #ICQ, #AIM, #SIPE, etc.

  • Nowadays all these do have some kind of #WebApp or Web Interface one can just login (because *none of them do proper #E2EE with #SelfCustody of all the keys!) so this should be way easier these days: All they do is do HTTP(S) GET/POST so the most critical part is to attain credentials like a #Login #cookie and to basically run a console on i.e. #Firefox to reverse-engineer the #API...

One thing that really pisses me off personally is the #regression in terms of #Messenger #Apps.

My personal distaste and dislike for #proprietary, #SingleVendor & #SingleProvider #services like #Signal ¹, #Telegram, #Discord ², #WhatsApp, #Slack, #MicrosoftTeams, etc. aside:

  • WHY is there no #CrossProvider #Messenger to handle that shite?

  • WHY does everyone of these shitty providers think people want to download their #bloated #WebApp that takes up triple digit Megabytes if not entire Gigabytes and will gobble up all the #RAM and #CPU they can??

This problem ain't new and already got solved for corporate social media ages ago! (Not to mention actually good messengers!)

So yeah, consider this a call for a @gajim / #Gajim or @pidgin / #Pidgin for garbage platforms!

  • Cuz back in the day we had way worse messengers yet people actually made #AIM, #ICQ, #MSN, #QQ, #IRC & #XMPP work just fine from one single "phat" client!

  • Can we please get that back?

US Secretary of Defense #Hegseth authorized halt of #American #weapons shipments to #Ukraine without notifying the #WhiteHouse

It affected #Patriot missiles, #artillery, #Hellfire missiles, #Stinger, #AIM air-to-air missiles, and other munitions

Some weapons already reached Poland & were en route to Kyiv when shipment was stopped

When asked about this #Trump denied any suspension:"We haven’t (stopped shipments). We’re giving weapons"

Leonard Peltier’s release after 49 years of wrongful imprisonment resonates deeply within anti-colonial struggles, particularly when compared to the systematic incarceration of Palestinians under Israeli military rule. Both cases exemplify how settler-colonial states use imprisonment as a tool of repression against Indigenous resistance.

Peltier, an Anishinaabe-Lakota activist and member of the American Indian Movement (AIM), was convicted in 1977 for the killing of two FBI agents during a 1975 shootout on the Pine Ridge Reservation. His trial was riddled with misconduct, including fabricated evidence, coerced witnesses, and prosecutorial misconduct. The U.S. government made him a political prisoner, punishing him not for any proven crime, but for his role in defending Indigenous sovereignty. His nearly five decades behind bars symbolize the criminalization of Indigenous resistance in North America.

Similarly, Israel systematically imprisons Palestinians, especially those engaged in resistance against occupation. Since 1967, over 800,000 Palestinians—including activists, political leaders, and children—have been detained under military rule. Many are held without charge under "administrative detention," a practice that allows indefinite imprisonment without trial. Just as Peltier was targeted for his role in AIM, Palestinians are arrested for organizing protests, resisting land seizures, or even posting anti-occupation statements online.

Both cases highlight how settler-colonial powers use incarceration to neutralize Indigenous movements. The U.S. government sought to break AIM through the imprisonment of Peltier, just as Israel aims to weaken Palestinian resistance by jailing its leaders and youth. The goal in both cases is not justice, but deterrence—turning prisons into tools of colonial control.

Yet, despite decades of imprisonment, neither Peltier nor Palestinian political prisoners have been silenced. Their struggles continue to inspire movements for decolonization, Indigenous sovereignty, and global solidarity against settler oppression. This is exactly what we seek to unpack in A Red Road to the West Bank—the shared tools of repression used by colonial states and the enduring spirit of resistance that connects Indigenous struggles across continents.

With all the buzz around nostalgic chat services brought on by projects like retro #AIM server, #MSN escargot, and MattKC's recent video, we figured it was about time we start putting together an official stance on bringing these protocol plugins back in #Pidgin 2.

As such, We'd like to share a rough draft of that stance and get any feedback you all may have. That draft can be found in an issue that was opened about the situation.

@rysiek @agturcz that's not how you fix #TechIlliteracy, espechally since things changed for the better.

@monocles / #monoclesChat & @gajim / #gajim are quite easy, whereas @signalapp / #Signal demands #PII in the form of a #Phone number which is more often than not not legally obtainable without "#KYC" aka. "forced #SelfDoxxing" all whilst being an extremely #centralized, #SingleVendor & #SingleProvider solution that falls under #CloudAct ant thus cannot adhere to #GDPR & #BDSG!

Otherwise we'd only perpetuate the #Enshittification-#Lifecycle as has happened with #AIM, #ICQ, #BBM and so many more...

  • Mark my words, cuz I've been proven correct up to this point.

If #Signal and @Mer__edith actually cared, they would've setup their system truly decentralized as an #OnionService over @torproject / #Tor!

@adele #AIM was all the rage when people had desktop PCs and learned HTML on #Myspace, but then the Sidekick and text messaging started taking over and more people had a phone than a laptop or a desktop.
Thats the real trend we still haven't broken.

which was the site of a brutal #massacre in 1890.

The occupation ended through negotiations, but the #FBI continued to spy on and harass #AIM members for years. This culminated in a tragic incident at the #PineRidge Indian Reservation in 1975, resulting in the deaths of two FBI agents and a young Native man. Leonard Peltier was later arrested despite a lack of evidence and convicted in the context of a campaign of government repression.

I’m absolutely delighted to be at The University of Edinburgh for an #Interdisciplinary Workshop for #EarlyCareerResearchers as part of the AI for Multiple Long Term Conditions #AIM programme.

Buried in Time: #BIA Takeover Documents Included #Sterilizations, #PineRidge #Uranium, and #WaterRights

By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews, Oct. 15, 2024

"Buried in Time: When the #TrailOfBrokenTreaties arrived in Washington and took over the BIA headquarters, the documents discovered in the BIA file cabinets altered the course of history. In the caravans from the west coast and northwest were activists from local #Indigenous frontline struggles, from #PitRiver, #SurvivalAmericanIndian, and #Alcatraz.

"The BIA documents exposed the secret plan of #Oglala Chairman #DickWilson to turn over one-eighth of tribal land over to the federal government for #UraniumMining. In the ton of documents taken away in a U-Haul, the documents showed proof of the sterilization of Native women by Indian Health Service doctors.

"And there was more.

"Hidden in these BIA files were the facts about the #WintersDoctrine, and the fact that #NativeAmerican Tribes are entitled to as much #water as they need. It is a fact that the BIA wanted hidden. Today, the states and federal government are attempting to do away with the water rights guaranteed in the Winters Doctrine with complex schemes and #WaterRights settlements.

"In the BIA files were documents showing #LandTheft and illegal leases of tribal lands across the country. Tribal members in the takeover took these back to their home communities. Those files became the basis of land rights cases in courts in the years that followed, according to Censored News interviews."

From 2022: #Redistricting In #NewMexico Has Systematically Diluted The Voice Of #NativeAmerican #Voters

#FarmingtonNewMexico has a well-documented history of #discrimination and violence against Native residents, and #VoteSuppression is part of the continued struggle.

by Aidan Graybill
Mar 24, 2022

"In 1974 three #Navajo men — Herman #DodgeBenally, #JohnEarlHarvey, and #DavidIgnacio — were brutally murdered on the outskirts of Farmington, New Mexico by three white teenagers.

"In response to the murders, many advocacy organizations — including the University of New Mexico #KivaClub, the American Indian Movement (#AIM), and the #NAACP — mobilized in Farmington. The high schoolers responsible for the murders were sentenced to a few years at the state reformatory after closed-door proceedings. Many in the Farmington community felt this punishment wasn’t sufficient and multiple marches and protests ensued.

"Following a march in May 1974, a list of demands was presented to the Farmington mayor which addressed, “basic community problems affecting Indians, and calls for increased responsiveness by elected officials to these needs.

"While the clash between Navajos and whites in the community continued to rage, the city administration held open sessions and discussions for everyone in the community — Navajos shared their sweeping and ubiquitous experiences of discrimination.

"Whether it was high school students excluded from extracurricular activities, blue-collar workers harassed by their white employers, or individuals who were refused service at restaurants, the common themes of bigotry and racism riddled their everyday lives.

[...]

"Thirty years later, the New Mexico State Advisory Committee to the United States Commission on #CivilRights issued a follow-up report on civil rights for #NativeAmericans in Farmington. Then-president of #Shiprock Chapter, Duane Yazzie, noted that there was progress and improvement in the general social climate for Navajo people in Farmington:

"'Yes, there continues to be periodic problems but, for the most part, the efforts of the public servants, including law enforcement, the courts, the business community, and the major employers in the regions, there has been considerable advancement.'

"However, the same report also included other testimony explaining that there had actually been little progress since the 1970s, considering the lack of Native American representation in positions of civic leadership:

"'You’ve asked if change — you asked if change has happened since the early 1970s? Consider that question by looking at the numbers. Each community’s pillars are those that are elected as well as those that serve in the government structure.

"'If one looks at those positions in the local government, you will find very few, if any, Native Americans. It doesn’t matter if you look at the county, the city, or even local institutions. You will still find very few Native Americans in high-level, decision-making positions.

"'After 30 years, you would think the local governments would have made great progress in this area.'"
