Nothing you wrote was a response to what I wrote.

I also don’t care what you ‘studied’. I lived it. Google and Apple were literally, and this is a quantifiable fact and not an opinion as you seem to be treating it in your response, the 10 person startups that were going against industry behemoths.

Yahoo was, at the time, was a Juggernaut.

I.B.M., at the time, was a Juggernaut.

Google and Apple were once the 10 employee nobodies going against behemoths.

Google also used to have no lock in, as well. It’s original selling point was an open ecosystem with no lock in, unlike Apple.

You’re like a walking definition of ‘those who do not know history are doomed to repeat it’

This is the correct answer. So much better than mautrix and hostng a matrix server.

XMPP is SOOO much easier to admin.

So most countries should kick out Israel supporters? That beeper attack was a state sponsored terrorist attack.

And it is so much fucking easier to admin. Especially if you have a server with open signups.

I think you meant xmpp

Jmp.chat

Or, you can skip the unhinged rant, use monocles or dino, and a public server.

Also, hosting a server is much simpler than something like matrix. You can host an xmpp server on a pi and that is more than enough. Or, just use a public server.

So difficult.

I like how you included steps that absolutely aren’t required and haven’t been for like a decade to make your statement more hyperbolic.

Don’t use a centralized chat service. Use a decentralized chat service. XMPP uses the same encryption for it’s e2e encryption, is decentralized, and super light weight for both the server and the client.

If making comments like this is required for you too feel self righteous, then you should just stop. That’s a filthy lifestyle to choose to participate in.

I don’t trust hardware implementations of encryption in the same way I don’t trust hardware raid arrays.

It’s not popular at all, but I love LukeLauncher on fdroid.
