And those developers get told what to do. The wheel also gets reinvented by PMs and entrepreneurs who think they can do it better. Sounds like someone is salty about their software maintenance job.
I suppose that applies more to XMPP, but not everything has to be a business, and you don’t have to be an ass about it.
fwiw, XMPP/Slack/Discord/etc basically solve the same problem that IRC already solved. Software Engineers just reinvent the wheel again and again as everyone loves a green field.
That said, Meta cannot be trusted. They’re going to do a year or two of embrace and extend, pretending to be good citizens. Then they will invent some crisis that causes them to want to de-federate, likely that content on other servers is not moderated to their standards or that convoluted features of their extended protocol are not being met. This take seems pretty spot on to me.
It is now but the older formats used to be more like an executable byte code. Efficient but insecure.
Right, I don’t need a pickup truck, but I do need a trunk to put my groceries in to feed my entire family. I also need to do it quickly. They said 5 miles, that’s a long way.
Also people who have places to go, things to carry or don’t live in places friendly to bikes. Maybe even people who think writing things in all caps is lazy. Not everything is caused by the conservative boogieman. Both nuance and effective communication are important.
Yes, but not because I didn’t try. I tried Opera and Konqueror for a time and they had some serious rendering problems. Being on the Internet all day for work I kinda just need a browser that works. Firefox is that for me now, but it wasn’t always up to the task.
Chrome was much faster and more stable than Firefox for a time, but they’re similar now.
Or cloning popular software
Bard is improving very quickly. It’s quicker to respond and gives a better response than ChatGPT a lot of the time. This drama will mean serious trouble for OpenAI.
Do you send the actors and production staff a few cents each for every rip? I understand big studios evil, etc, etc, but piracy is not without cost.
Interesting. I want algorithms to warn us about potential harms by Joe Biden. What if we were able to fund an AI run by the GAO that can tell us when government decisions make the majority of our lives worse?
It’s a long way off and might be a bad idea to trust an AI outright, but I just wish we had a more data informed government.
But how though? Got examples?
The point is that you’re already parking your car for that much time while you’re doing other things. They just need to put more charging stations near those things.
Clearly you’ve never used TikTok. The algorithm is amazing.
It’s not censorship, it’s just smart people protecting themselves from liability. Some things are clearly illegal and the admins should not be expected to take the heat for people who participate in those illegal activities.
This is beautiful.
I read tons TXTs in the 90s that sparked an interest in how-things-work and eventually lead to a career in software. People like him really change lives.
May he RIP

Sure, but all of those things could have been done by extending the existing protocol.
Also, fwiw, it has had media sends, presence and support for encryption for a very long time. The rest could be added. All of those things could have very well been an IRC client with a couple of extra features and a server upgrade to queue messages.
