@Hyperhidrosis I lately agree with him. My wife gave birth at home. There are many benefits to a natural birth, for everyone involved.Lying down on your back to give birth (like in the movies) is retarded and is for the benefit of the doctor, not the woman.

@cjd Have a look at "The Sovereign a Individual" if you haven't read it yet. It covers what you're writing about here.Written in 1997 already and very interesting what they predicted and how it played out.

@Cosmic I'm a white Afrikaner living in South Africa.There is definitely no "white genocide" and I live in peace with people from all races.That said, there is systemic discrimination against white South Africans on many levels and there are concerning developments.At least some of the white farmers are targeted because of their race. The fact that many get tortured, and in one case the killers wrote "kill the boer" in blood attests to that. But I would definitely not call it a genocide.

@raucao @daniel @dino In the latest Converse, you see yourself in the roster and can send yourself messages.These messages do show up in Conversations.

One of my favorite things in Converse #XMPP development is seeing the translations coming in. Since we do zero analytics or tracking, I don't have much insight into user adoption. I see translations as somewhat of an indicator.Recently someone added Mongolian translations and it's currently 15% translated.Interestingly, Ukrainian and Russian are two of the most active languages, and both have 100% translation coverage.There's no Farsi (Iranian) translation, and the Hebrew one sits at 52%

I've replaced Webpack with RSPack in Converse.RSPack is a webpack-compatible replacement written in Rust.Build times have dropped from 20 seconds to around 7 seconds.https://rspack.rs/

If a complete stranger comes to your home, is unfriendly and starts asking you to do things for them while complaining that your past work sucks, you'd ask them to leave right?So why is it OK to behave like this in the issue tracker of someone's open source project?

@isadora @debacle @menel @xmppbrasil @zammad_hq Hi Isadora, the Converse MUC is moderated because of disturbing spam.If you give me your JID (Jabber ID aka XMPP address) I'll give you voice there so that you can write your message.You can write it here or if you want to keep your JID secret you can send it to me here:https://opkode.com/contact/

@msdosfx @daniel I'm working on libomemo but it's GPLv3 due to it being a fork of libsignal.https://github.com/conversejs/libomemo.js
