The most offensive thing here is the amount={5} attribute. What is it? It’s not XML.

Hm not sure what to make of this. The author of the article states pretty clearly what company they are affiliated with. The comments seem to push a product called Splunk which doesn’t appear in the article at all.

Lemmy is the only community I know where claims of “toxic extreme leftist” cannot easily be dismissed.

I haven’t recognized any posts as covert ads here I think. Can you give an example?

The NGO is a decoy organization with exactly the same people (minus one) as the VC funded startup. Go look at the “core spec team” and find out which organization they belong to.

Your information on XMPP seems to be quite outdated. File transfer in XMPP is now mostly done by uploading the file via HTTP and sending the URL. Audio calls are done using WebRTC and work two ways.

Every website has access to the password you use on that website. ALWAYS use unique and randomly generated passwords for every service.

“protocol extensions” (aka: incompatible)

Reality shows that implementations can very well implement the same extensions. If you don’t use extremely outdated clients you will find they do have compatible file transfer and A/V calls. ActivityPub works the same way.

Meanwhile Matrix Ltd. cooks up a completely new, incompatible protocol instead of building upon existing internet standards.

I don’t see the reason we need a venture capital funded bloated protocol anyways. Just switch to XMPP. It’s much more lightweight and it’s the internet standard for instant messaging.

XMPP works well and the community is actively developing server and clients. There aren’t any big corporations funding it anymore that’s all. Still the best instant messaging protocol in 2023.

Or just have a bus factor greater than one.

feddit.uk seems to be online.

Didn’t even mention Mastodon once.

Thank you I tried to figure out how one could recognize Bobby Hill in this drawing.

Please don’t get worked up over a 4chan post…

I will never use any instance that federates with instances that federate with instances not run by someone as a hobby. Imagine what could happen if they threaten us to defederate!

Free locked down scooters that can’t move.

You’re not fooling anyone.

How do you know? We should fix this on the software level.

You can block the entire domain.

So we should defederate because we will have issues defederating due to the amount of content we lose? Isn’t that kind of self-contradictory?
