Welcome to this week’s The Programmer’s Fulcrum.

It’s your weekly curation of the essential news in the Open Media Network and Fediverse development communities with a focus on devastating big tech via Techno Anarchism.

The big news this week was obviously The European Commission’s European Technological Sovereignty Package. So, there’s much more […]

The last few days have been wild! 

The video conference user interface has been completely rebuilt from the ground up and redesigned.

Share your screen 💻, switch between grid and active speaker modes 🔄, pin one of the streams 📌, on desktop or mobile... all these exciting new features are now merged into Movim!

Check out the short preview below to see what to expect in the upcoming release. 👀

Movim is becoming a serious decentralized, FOSS, and fully standards-compliant alternative to #Discord, Microsoft Teams, or Slack.

Vous pourrez ensuite utiliser une application ou bien notre service Movim, qui offre toutes les fonctionnalités, avec en supplément la possibilité de publier son blog. Utilisez votre compte XMPP pour vous connecter : https://chat.gayfr.online

Folks. I just had the very first #XMPP Space Call 😸!

There are still a couple of things to iron out, but you can now make conference calls in XMPP Spaces! ✨

After 15 years of work on #Movim , countless commits, improvements, and refactoring, I am incredibly proud to offer everyone a fully standard, lightweight, and open-source alternative to major platforms like #Discord, Microsoft Teams, and Slack.

There are a few minor things left to standardize, but you can already build another client that fully integrates with Movim.

On the XMPP server side, everything is already in place. 👌

A new milestone for audio and video calls in Movim!

Movim now detects the current status of sessions and connects you directly to the screen-sharing and video stream when you join 👌

You can also start and stop your camera or screen-sharing whenever you want ✨

Everything is now ready for the next big step: adding all these new features to Spaces and finally introducing 100% XMPP-standard audio rooms!

(There's also the SFU topic to tackle this summer 👀)
