@warmaster Hi, thanks for reaching out. Just a quick question, do you have a starter or full account? Because currently storage is not for free and therefore Notes doesn't work with a free account.

I just donated to startnext.com/en/monocles

I'm a happy user of @monocles chat.

If you don't use Monocles Chat, give it a try. If you are already using it, consider donating. They also provide many other services to replace the Big Tech snopping. Projects like this is important for our Digital Self reliance.

@Polychrome From the archive the APKs are F-droid signed so the F-droid update will keep update tracking.
Only the Codeberg version is different. Because we can't sign with the F-droid key, it can only be installed manually and separately.

2025-03-23

@Polychrome Hi, could you try to import in 1.7.11 and then update or try the latest testing version? This would help to find the issue

@cadusilva Which ciphers do you use on your XMPP server? For security reasons monocles chat and the monocles servers are restricted to the newest only.

2025-03-21

@cadusilva Hi Cadu Silva! Could be your mobile data provider the problem? Is both IPv4 and IPv6 correctly configured on the server?

Also feel free to join our support chat room:
support@conference.monocles.eu

Hi all! We just updated our Mastodon instance to the latest release and are back online again!

2025-02-02

@Suiseiseki At least the signing we can do we with the apksigner. But true it will be very difficult to make the whole build with a free SDK. We would be happy if we could continue the discussion in our development chat room development@conference.monocle and maybe find a better way.

2025-02-02

@Suiseiseki Thanks for the hint! We'll build the next updates with open building tools!

🇬🇧#Stargate: ‘#AI first’ at any price and without guardrails is not compatible with our values and does more harm than good in the long run. Done wrong, AI is unreliable, discriminatory and can result in a high-tech surveillance state. We see some of the rubbish coming out of China, but also how AI is abused there to suppress critics. That's why Europe is focussing on high quality and the best, not the fastest and biggest AI solutions.

The US now unleashing the technology without regulation will likely bring unreliable and discriminatory AI to Europe, too. If, for example, personal health data is to be exploited for commercial purposes, this can make health insurance expensive for some, or we can be manipulated with targeted advertising because of our health problems.

@vform unfortunately the monocles search got flooded the last days. We're working on a fix!

2025-01-14

The monocles.eu search, the webmail mail.monocles.eu and the cloud ocean.monocles.eu can be accessed post quantum secure with a modern browser now 🎉. So you can search post quantum secure now 🤩.
The other monocles sites will switch too soon.
