Nope xmpp is still going strong. I’ve been using xmpp over whtsapp for a while and I like it so much. You can even make a voice and video call. The best thingis it is federated just like fediverse

Matrix is bloated, eating VPS resources and it’s tied to Israeli Intel. Xmpp is better than bloated matrix. Besides I don’t trust matrix very much. Most of users use main matrix instance and don’t bother to spread the servers to avoid centralization

I will continue to use ublock and let Google lose money in the process I don’t mind. In fact I’m all for it

I agree 100% with you. Whatscrapp is just a proprietary user subjugating version of XMPP. I prefer to communicate using xmpp protocol because it’s federated like fediverse. You can use conversation for android

Emotional damage

If android were GPL 3 the users would be protected from “tivoization” aka locked hardware. Too bad Google don’t want that happen

As a free software supporter, I don’t use properietary software. Sure there are some inconveniences but I won’t trade my freedom for all proprietary software in the world.

If you want freedom in computing use Trisquel GNU / Linux

Why would all employers make such a big deal of WFH? If I were them I’d let anyone work at home as long as they do their jobs properly I don’t care

All languages are hard if you don’t practice them

Believe or not, I still use core2duo CPU and GeForce 5300 and I run free operating system because newer technology contains shit

Digital RESTRICTIONS management / DRM is the core of Adobe

Why is this reminds me of that vegan teacher

I prefer donating money to my Lemmy instance. it really helps them pay monthly VPS bills.

Imagine using chromium, imaging using gmail

I don’t want you to know where I hide my shit

Wow Apple, a proprietary software which are known to treat users badly and enforce cencorship suddenly remove my podcast? I’m shocked!

I will never pay or use proprietary user subjugating software/ services

Pervert, cringe

Glad I deleted my gmail account, a gateway to google walled garden, years ago. Even if google put Digital Restriction Management on its shitty browser I would use Firefox and Pale moon browser. Never been a a fan of chromi-shitty-um
