Partial graph sync is a thing, yes, but the graph still has to exist on both servers and expand as users request more of it, so the same analysis applies. But fair, maybe I should have pointed out that full sync is the worst case.

Or I did my research and made an informed decision which to work on. I didn't start working on one then only decide to dislike the other based on sunk cost fallacy. Matrix already existed when I got into doing XMPP stuff, and I looked

All of those are newer XEPs for things that existed long before those XEPs or those specific versions if the XEP were published. There may be specific issues (I do remember that p2p file sharing never worked unless you were a network engine

When was this? It's had most of these things for quite a while, but I'd be curious specifically what was missing and when or if there are still gaps? To my knowledge it had most of these things before any other chat protocol was w

Slightly rambling partial agreement ahead, sorry, I struggle with how I feel about this and need to write something longer somewhere: I think there's a tendency to dismiss this argument in the XMPP community (but there's a lot of

I don't know that it was ever "over complicated and hard to implement" (see my response to the thing you're quoting above, I think), at least, not any more so than any protocol, but I'm still not really sure what th

Matrix and XMPP operate in very different ways Matrix is a graph database synchronization protocol, whereas XMPP is event based. Let's use group chats as an example: with Matrix if you join a group chat hosted on another server, the

I've done a lot of work on XMPP related projects and some specs, and I'm not sure that this is true. I mean, it's definitely complicated, that part is true, but of course it is, it's a protocol and it's not more c

This may be different per city, but at least near me this isn't true, the suburbs have a grocery (or several). > Presumably if you pick one, you'll start to see the same faces, though Sure, and you'll likely only see the

It's much easier to get into town from a farm a few miles out than to the city from the suburbs. Plus in the city there are lots of places and in most of our cities they have similar walkability problems (I'm from Atlanta which

Yah, it's not the distance of the houses that matter (well, it does, but it's not the whole story), it's the distance between amenities. Like I said, the actual town I grew up in was terrible. It's 30-45 minutes to get a

no that's fair, it's been a problem for a long time.

yah, absolutely; like I said in another post, small towns near where I grew up are frequently that way. You enjoy the city vibe you live in the apartments or houses right off the square. You don't, you live on one of the outlying farms

It likely depends on the rural area. In the middle of North East GA where I grew up, it's about the same, social isolation is becoming a huge problem because you're forced to drive long distances and plan ahead to meet with people

Outside of the software world I'm also working on opening a Bike Shop and frame building studio. I'm hoping that one day I can actually make a small living on frame building since I don't do software for my day job anymore, b

At least in the U.S. (and likely elsewhere) the design of the suburbs encourages neighborhoods with individual houses and very little walk able space (occasionally there are sidewalks or parks in the richer areas, but developments may be la

In school I worked as an intern for a U.S. defense contractor (which I feel rather bad about now, but that's neither here nor there). Every now and then some important general or captain type would show up for a meeting and walk around

ouch; that does sound unfortunate, I'll look into it, thanks.

In the U.S. it really depends what state you're in. Some states have co-ops as a specific business vehicle and in many of them the co-op model is very different. There are big farm co-ops, EMCs, etc. in the U.S. (Land-o-Lakes and Flori

I know they said they test with skin stand-ins, but I still feel bad for all the grad students who had to handle and try to delicately slice with all that paper. You know they got a fair amount of real world data too doing all that!

There's a specific comment in the middle that I think the title refers to where someone mentions that this has already been merged into the paid version, but now suddenly they can't get reviews for the free version: https:/&

I don't know how they're run internally, but they seem to have merged a lot of good features that the Codeberg folks developed, so they must do at least a bit more than bicker. What controversial PRs have they merged? I haven&#x27

Start.coop ( https://www.start.coop/ ) comes to mind, but I know I've read about others as well. I don't recall what their exact model is, so it likely doesn't match perfectly with what you're describing.

There are more of them, but good design "just works" and so goes mostly unnoticed. Actually, I wonder if there's a word for this effect?

By the members; we all pay a tiny bit into the co-op each month. Most people pay 1 USD or GBP per month, if you use some of the other services we offer through organizational memberships in other co-ops (ie. we're a member of meet.coop
