making apps that send notifications over proprietary push-notification channels instead of supporting open, accessible, cross-plaform communication channels like email?
nah, that wasn't what i donated to the EFF for.
- yincrash 12y agoThey made their own push notification server with an Affero GPL license (which means even server operators have to release source that they change), and as such I would not consider proprietary. Email is not a push channel in either IMAP or POP3.
- Nullabillity 12y agoSMTP is push, POP/IMAP are receiver implementation details.
- yincrash 12y agoThe parent of my post was arguing against a "proprietary push implementation" in favor of email, but my argument is that the receiving of email is not via push.
