We Europeans all secretly aspired to being worthy enough to own anything by Bang & Olufsen once.

When I worked in Lisbon, it was one of the poorest cities in Europe. There was next to no money there at all, but for some reason, it had the fourth-largest shopping centre in Europe (Amoreiras) built in 1985.

When I was there in about 1992, Amoreiras was fairly empty of any stores and fairly empty of people, too. I don't think anyone could afford space. But, there was one single large Bang & Olufsen store in there, selling sleek design-first electronics that I doubt hardly anyone living in the city could possibly afford.

It was very odd. I should ask GPT who the customers could have been... And GPT provides my answer, after all this time.

At work, I currently face the challenge of finding a Linux softphone I can use with a 3CX PBX.

With sipgate we used Linphone, which worked better than sipgate's Softphone or CLINQ apps. But with 3CX the best I could achieve is registering the softphone. With Linphone I can initiate calls but as soon as I pick up the connection gets terminated by the remote side again (at least that's what Linphone says).

I tried Blink, which at least doesn't terminate immediately. But I don't get any sound, on neither end. I can hear recordings originating from the PBX, though. The codec negotiation works, too, as I went through each codec individually.

With Jami and GNOME Calls I can't even register the softphone with the PBX.

VoIP.ms now has a softphone app available for #Android (#iOS coming soon).

Built to serve as a direct, integrated softphone option for VoIP.ms users, this app offers a simple and efficient solution for handling VoIP calls and messages, without the need for third-party tools.

VoIP.ms still supports SIP and can be configured with third party applications.

@debby #Mumble, #IRC, #XMPP (+OMEMO = @gajim / #monoclesChat) & #Linphone (#SIP / #VoIP) are the better options. #NextcloudTalk also exist and @monocles as well as @Stuxhost offer that.

OfC #JitsiMeet and #WebCall are also great!
