Yes, slow delivery when user is low on battery. No delivery at all if a user swipes an app away.

There is a lot of traffic in xmpp that is not message. Like, delivery / read receipts, carbon copies, etc. It's often fully encrypted and a server doesn't even know the contents and if it should or not be showing anything for

In short: apple is breaking the only reliable way to deliver notifications. We're making an xmpp app and this breaks everything: regular silent notifications provided by apple work like shit. We even added honest working VoIP calls to

The difference is because of the license. GPL license (created by Stallman, btw) won over BSD license. The emergence of a GPL-licensed kernel was inevitable. If Linux didn't appear when it did, some other kernel would appear. Maybe fol

After reading the title I thought it would be about Europa Universalis 4 and all their outrageously priced DLCs.

I got around it by requesting desktop version. Markup on Medium clearly fails for mobile Firefox.

Repetition is the mother of learning, as the old Russian proverb states. The point is making a phrase really get memorized.

Huge areas of land unlivable for generations is an overstatement. Fukishima and Chernobyl exclusion zones are lush green forests that where wildlife thrives.

Yes, instantly. Or else they'll lose connectivity with central matrix server and 80% of users.

Sure, XMPP has problems, but ZERO of them comes from using XML. Thinking that using JSON will help solve the real problems any federated protocol would face is very naive and will lead to more than a few unpleasant discoveries down the road

Of course, app that implements it's only server API would be consistent with itself. You see, Matrix isn't mature enough to have XMPP's problems, such problems must be deserved first. And seeing how fixated matrix zealots on

Adaptive icons is a stupid bad idea. Humans distinguish different objects by shape and color. Now when all objects are mandatory made to have same shape, it only made harder to find needed icon. It effectively just made icons smaller and ha

Problem is, "team". It's not really decentralized at this moment, just software from the singular vendor. Of course, it moves faster than a really distributed protocol (in all senses of this word).

The only advantage Matrix currently has comes from it's relative obscurity. It has ONE implementation. Once things start inevitably emerge, it'll run into all the same problems that truly distributed protocols have.

Of course Linux benefitted from being published under GNU GPL. At that point of time the appearance of a GNU kernel for i386 architecture was inevitable

UU was great. I especially loved how your skills evolved with time. In the beginning, you could barely jump over the smallest rift, but by mid-game you could almost fly from one end of a big cave to another. Trick is that it was made so sub
