You sure you can’t do what you need from bash/ssh?

If you only need ssh, anything can be terminal as everything has a ssh client.

With the amount of money in this bubble, it would be better if slowly deflated instead popped.

Get off American monopoly tech. The desktop is the easiest.

A GNU/Linux desktop has endless advantages and doesn’t include the anti-features.

Linux, in some form, runs a lot of your life already, even if you don’t know it.

If your a tech, you really should deeply know Linux/UNIX anyway.

If you can do many to many, you can do 1 to 1. That’s why I see them as a single thing. Both Signal and WhatsApp do group calls as well as 1 to 1.

Most people don’t get the difference between Signal and WhatsApp, but I agree Signal is way way way more trustworthy and security. When I have to run WhatsApp, for work, which is rare, it is in a jail, with as little access as I can give it. Including a fake address book with only who I need for the call in. It’s a closed app from a data mining company. It is filth.

I think that’s probably it. Their scope is limited. They are only wanting to replaced Teams, Meet and Zoom. Which their are a few open, self-hostable, alternatives already. I want a scope to cover WhatsApp and Signal, while being backwards compatible to just make regular phones calls when nothing better is available.

Excellent podcast on the issue : https://www.npr.org/2021/02/17/968704526/why-printers-are-the-worst

SIP is what we have right now for VOIP. If you can connect to SIP, you can literally ring people over the current system. Audio only of course. Backwards compatibly is worth a lot. If they are also SIP, you should be able to do video. The providers I know are using WebRTC for a browser SIP client basically. Baresip has this as an example module, but there is commercial software that also does this. Avoid having to a local SIP client installed.

Backwards compatible laying for the win. Much easier to replace things that way.

Think a few countries are. We’ll get open, trustworthy, p2p digital currency transfer one day!

If also need to be stable. If you want a stable currency, which you do, you need control to correct it. Which is what central banks do. All we really want from crypto is open, trustworthy, p2p transfer.

I’d prefer it is there was a crypto of the Euro. Then transfers can be peer to peer without any middle man, and middle man costs. With all open technology and assuming zero trust. It won’t have the wild value swings because it is a real, regulated and controlled currency. Take the advantages and leave the anarchism.

Only if one side is SIP.

Reform is a pro-Russia party with members jailed for Russian corruption. Farage is just good at it and not been caught.

Reform would give MAGA the UK. Traitors. Reform is full of Brexit people when Brexit massively damanaged the country. Traitors. Reform would privative the NHS screwing over all the but the rich. Traitors.

Magnet to the worse of the Tories.

Let alone the blatant racism and intolerance of any diversity. I refuse to tolerant their intolerance. It must be challenged or we’ll end sinking into a hell hole like the US has (and is still descending further).

I know of a few things that do a WebRTC interface for SIP. So you can make SIP calls from your webbrowser.

It could be improve. SMB3 is far better for firewalling than SMB1/2.

A standard audio/video call protocol is great to have and SIP is everywhere already. Already supports video though this isn’t as widely used.

It could be iterated.

Can’t they invest in standardized SIP solutions? Linphone is already French.

Their leader is a Putin man.
