The funny part is that XMPP can essentially do what AP can with https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0060.html

Preference, I guess. It appeals to the masses who are growing up on discord and slack. I also prefer XMPP.

Because it's not just the ability of tracking in question but the ability to display the ads as well.

One scenario is that Whatsapp and Apple leave the UK market, another is that nobody going to do anything about the "law", which is rubbery enough to be ignored. I'm quite curious how it's going to go down.

Is there anything this can do and XMPP with OMEMO can't?

>It's leaking out into normal DNS. No, it isn't. I'd never seen a .eth link anywhere on the normal web, yet I've seen plenty of Gemini:// urls, just to throw in something niche for comparison.

No, I get it. I can't see a blackout day happening (the one stopped SOPA/PIPA) again either. But it still happened, against M$, who was the behemoth of the time, so things are never impossible.

What, stating a fact? Who is using .eth and .bit then?

Soon there will be a Plaza Web, for which you'll need an approved device for, like a Chromecast with Google TV, and the Old Web of communities, enthusiasts, and the like.

You don't understand: most cctlds are in the relevant country's hand, but there are exceptions, like .io. The ones like .eth or .bit are a bad joke. If you want something that's truly yours, generate a .onion.

I used Thunderbird a lot when I was still on Windows, around 2007, and loved it, both for email and as my RSS reader. By the time I moved to linux somewhere in 2009 it started to feel... stuck. I needed calendaring, and Lightning barely wor

Opera's mail client was wonderful, and there's nothing close to it right now. I had high hopes for Geary at one point, but it way as unstable as it gets the last time I tried.
