Realistically, it would be local competition completely under Brussels' thumb.

At least at some point of time it was possible to order Discourse discussions as emails, which you can reply to, and it worked pretty much like a mailing list. Don't know how it is currently, though.

Is that really a problem, given the lifespan of a smartphone? I've only really noticed that to happen to decades-old objects.

Are you going to do it by making Google Messages to work, or by building an another RCS client implementation?

I have no idea why it seems to be so hard for VPN providers to get IPv6 right. The technology has been here for ages. Also, unlike physical ISPs, VPN providers have no other way to differentiate from each other but getting this sort of thin

I have understood that Whatsapp is not a terribly profitable product for Meta, so it is possible that it would just be withdrawn from Europe, instead of making expensive and controversial modifications. iMessage is not really a thing in Eur

Politics are an inherently violent affair. The government is simply a monopoly on legitimate violence. Politicians decide the laws, which result in people breaking them getting beaten up & dragged to a cell. Not to say this is always a

Police forces in Europe have been lobbying for this kind of measures so eagerly that it can even turn out to be a national security issue, I fear. What if the police will end up siding with Russian and/or Chinese invaders, or with a so

That's not a good example imo, since newspaper ads are in any case a curated platform.

Maybe, but the usual way to deal with issues that attract lots of unwelcome comments is to close it and lock the comments, so that people know what happened. If the issue just disappears, people will end up wondering what happened.

The desktop security model is pretty much the same across the vendors. Somehow, Microsoft seems to get a free pass on this.

What about the rest? Don't basic rights apply to them?

In my understanding, IRC was not designed at all. It has more like been built in an ad-hoc manner. IRCv3 is an attempt to create a clear specificatiot.

If those contributions are more a liability than an asset, why not reject them?

This works as long as the leaders strongly favour economic prosperity of their countries. Russia invaded Ukraine, despite that the countries traded a lot, and their supply chains were cross-linked.

Oh, it seems you are here to just troll and insult everyone. Matrix by calling it just a some sort of volunteer project run by nerds in basements, and those too, who are not pleased with it's problems. What exactly does have a "ca

Matrix is not a some sort of volunteer project. It is used by NATO as their NI2CE, as well as by many other governmental entities. Matrix runs on European taxpayer's money.

It's depressing to see and hear that New Vector is rewriting the flagship client about every 5 years or so, with each rewrite taking multiple years. Each time the new client is hailed as the saviour, and then after a while, denounced a

While long-term chat histories aren't maybe that useful, the problem with IRC is that if your connection dies, you miss all the messages until the connection resumes. That is a big deal on mobile. Bouncers are an option, but the need t

I have heard so, too. Maybe I'll give it or some of its derivatives a try some time. I think there is a some sort of catch-22 going on. Matrix Foundation can't fund the replacement of Synapse with a better-designed server, because

IRCv3 has "chathistory" extension. It basically involves combining an IRC network and a bouncer. There are at least two server implementations using it: ergo, which is more or less production ready, but does not have support for m

Former, I think. It involved highlighting all users of the room, and sometimes verbal abuse against Matrix and/or the projects which the rooms in question belogned to. Now that sort of abuse is much harder, since they have improved spa

They definitely have a victim complex. Few years back, when I complained of the then-insanely poor performance and scalability of the Synapse server, they told me to spend a few thousands of bucks on a high-performance personal server, and
