what chat protocols are well supported by emacs
telega is the best messaging client I ever used. https://github.com/zevlg/telega.el

(a new golden age for emacs) chatgpt wins the race for a tutorial on emacs. please endorse it it is quite helpful... i learned in days what took years because of it
I just skimmed at the responses and already noticed some wrong parts: according to the Telegram git repo, Telegram supports version of Emacs 26.1+, there is really no need to “make sure you have the latest version of Emacs installed on your system”
-
Async non-blocking JSONRPC (or lsp performance faster/comparable with other clients)
Initially I thought about telega.el, telegram client which is, as far as I know, also uses json to communicate with server part written with C

For those who live inside Emacs, when do you come out?
Regarding your points: 1. I use Firefox + Tridactyl, which seems a perfect combination: the rich ecosystem of Firefox and keyboard-controlled browser (was using qutebrowser before). There's also a browser in EAF, I don't know if anyone uses that, but it's an option I guess. 2. There is telega.el, which is an Emacs client for Telegram. There are also clients for Matrix & IRC, but not for any other mainstream messengers because their API is closed. There are also email clients for Emacs, I'm using notmuch. 3. Definitely check out org-roam.

Show HN: Beeper Mini – iMessage Client for Android
>what does this mean?
Moxie (Signal's founder) has thrown fits in the past over the existence of third-party clients using their servers: https://github.com/libresignal/libresignal/issues/37#issueco...

Signal: The Pqxdh Key Agreement Protocol
0: https://github.com/libresignal/libresignal/issues/37
I push back when anyone recommends Signal because they are fundamentally not an open network.

Hosting Signal frontend on a local server (Like Signal desktop but through website)
OWS has historically been hostile to third party implementations outside of their clients. There are multiple unofficial options but the only one I've been looking at is the bridge with matrix, though setting up a matrix server just for this is likely overkill.

After High Court Ruling, Telegram Discloses Names/Numbers/IP of Users
I have to say that I find him fascinating too, but there are a few things that raise my suspicion, but of course do not convict him of anything:
The way he is attacking this alternative Signal client and rules out interoperability:
https://github.com/LibreSignal/LibreSignal/issues/37#issueco...
Signal was a word before he decided to turn it into a brand.
The signal server source code repo was not updated for a year. Communication intransparent.

I am not even against crypto integration, but I found the choice of MobileCoin odd. Instead of integrating an existing privacy coin or working with the community, he decided to integrate MOB and to be one of their "advisors":

Snap Store administrators removed signal-desktop from Ubuntu Snap
Is that so surprising? Signal had always a hostile attitude to alternative clients. They have this weird disconnect of the new CEO saying they want to be available to as many people as possible and be a fully commited FOSS app, and then have no version on F-Droid (while Telegram has!) and actively fight alternative clients (see https://github.com/LibreSignal/LibreSignal/issues/37#issueco...)
Because of this hostility Signal is not a trustworthy organization at all.

Office 365 implementing AI to detect employees colluding, leaving and more
1) You need to audit that code, which.. everyone will have to do.
2) https://signal.org/blog/reproducible-android/
> the Signal Android codebase includes some native shared libraries that we employ for voice calls (WebRTC, etc). At the time this native code was added, there was no Gradle NDK support yet, so the shared libraries aren’t compiled with the project build.
a good answer in my opinion, but it means what you run from the play store is not reproducible and thus can never really be confirmed to be what the sources actually include. There are also binary blobs needed for interacting with Google Play.
3) Signal is openly hostile to third party client implementations: https://github.com/LibreSignal/LibreSignal/issues/37

Axolotl: First cross-plattform Signal client
Moxie Marlinspike on May 5th 2016:
> I'm not OK with LibreSignal using our servers, and I'm not OK with LibreSignal using the name "Signal." You're free to use our source code for whatever you would like under the terms of the license, but you're not entitled to use our name or the service that we run.
> If you think running servers is difficult and expensive (you're right), ask yourself why you feel entitled for us to run them for your product.
Moxie Marlinspike left Signal this January[2] 2022.
Whose to say whether there will be any change, but it's been interesting seeing Signal as a somewhat defended property. Although various third party clients/tools/libraries do exist already.
The claim that running servers is expensive would have been more interesting, imo, had there been any viable way to run your own. But for a long while Signal server source code wasn't being updated at all.
