Well I'd prefer that all those solutions relies on standards such as XMPP better than having the NIH syndrome. You should check on XMPP web solutions such as Movim https://movim.eu/ (P.S. I'm the author).

What about just stop buying those things? Seriously if I'm buying a laptop one day and I'm finding out that there's no power cable in the box, I just bring it back and said that they made a mistake and forgot something. They

It's funny because we also saw a slight increase in the pace of account creation on Movim as well https://movim.eu/ , but I'm not sure if there is a real correlation. But I'm really happy to see that more and

Maybe you should have a look at the Microblog extension over XMPP https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0277.html . It allows you to publish Blog articles on your XMPP accounts and let your contacts receive and comment them :

Happy to see that link on HN :) I've been pretty much pushing XMPP for past decade, especially to show that it can also be used as a really decent base to do social networking (we didn't waited for ActivityPub to do federated soci

I personally have an issue with this "Utility/Functional" CSS pattern. To me I still think that the good old "HTML describe how the content is organized, CSS describe how this content looks like" is the way to go. I

I agree with those statements. That is why we are using Atom on top of Pubsub in XMPP to built social networking features. The sub-layer is changing (Atom is embeded into Pubsub XML on top of TCP real time streams, XMPP) but in the end the

Some, maybe dumb, thought. Imposing tariffs and therefore reducing the goods that are transiting to (and from) the US across the globe is not, indirectly, ecologically good? Less goods transiting, less transport to bring them across oceans,

It can maybe change the Web, but not the Internet, and only a portion of it :) ActivityPub is based on HTTP/JSON standards, for real-time solutions in other "out of Web" environments I'd prefer to use something like XMPP

Tell that to Thinkpad users that can upgrade 15 years old second-hand Thinkpads with compatible parts bought from China (also apply to other notebooks). How easy it is to change the faulty keyboard on a MacBook Pro?

…or maybe just stop trying to play with the cat tail if you don't want to get scratched. There is plenty of solutions out there to do chat messaging "kinda like" or maybe better than Slack. I'm using Slack daily and I ca

It's crazy that in 2018 we are still using GIFs to do short animated demo. Those few "images" in the article were ~40Mb, come on.

I am really impressed by Mastodon all the efforts that the community is doing to explain the project and the decentralization to the "common people". It's something that I'm doing for years now when trying to show how Mo

Can we also mention those "hacky-package-manager" that are brew and macport? Things are installed all over the place, hard to have consistent version across different machines. I think that a developer OS MUST have a proper packag

It's not only the web anymore. What about the desktop Slack that can take up to 1Gb of RAM for a "simple" chat client.

Yeah having the current URL in an address bar could definitely help. It would also be nice to add a previous button and maybe some tabs, a proper history manage… wait. Personally I simply prefer to open those "apps" directly in my

This is already possible with the XMPP protocol for many years now :) The good thing is that it simply relies on XMPP Pubsub and the widely deployed Atom standard. You only need an XMPP account with a quite recent server (pas few years) and
