They killed Cortana?

Hm not sure what to make of this. The author of the article states pretty clearly what company they are affiliated with. The comments seem to push a product called Splunk which doesn’t appear in the article at all.

Lemmy is the only community I know where claims of “toxic extreme leftist” cannot easily be dismissed.

I haven’t recognized any posts as covert ads here I think. Can you give an example?

The NGO is a decoy organization with exactly the same people (minus one) as the VC funded startup. Go look at the “core spec team” and find out which organization they belong to.

Your information on XMPP seems to be quite outdated. File transfer in XMPP is now mostly done by uploading the file via HTTP and sending the URL. Audio calls are done using WebRTC and work two ways.

“protocol extensions” (aka: incompatible)

Reality shows that implementations can very well implement the same extensions. If you don’t use extremely outdated clients you will find they do have compatible file transfer and A/V calls. ActivityPub works the same way.

Meanwhile Matrix Ltd. cooks up a completely new, incompatible protocol instead of building upon existing internet standards.

I don’t see the reason we need a venture capital funded bloated protocol anyways. Just switch to XMPP. It’s much more lightweight and it’s the internet standard for instant messaging.

You sound a bit like those Christians complaining about how the gays stole the rainbow from God.

tar + netcat are really nice. Not very secure but gets a folder from A to B using standard tools.

From my point of view the mathematicians are evil.

Well, then you are lost!

Yes. It’s a window manager, not tmux.

If the instance defederates, users do not have an option to interact with the defederated instance anymore. The only choice you have then is to join an instance where the moderation policy agrees with your values or host your own instance. If you just want to see if defederation was the right idea, you could just visit those instances directly and look at their local timeline.

Du meinst Palatschinken?

You could seed the Torrents by the internet archive.

What are you talking about? OP got it right: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Function_composition

You can sort by controversial?

Isn’t Bluesky much smaller than Mastodon?
