I just love how the other person immediately knew there could be a difference between the left and the right USB port.
It is easy to cook up your own IM protocol, but for interoperability between providers (which is the whole point of using XMPP or Matrix in the first place!) we need to agree on a protocol. The way we agree on protocols is standardization. XMPP is the proper IETF internet standard for instant messaging while Matrix is effectively just another product by some startup with lots of venture capital funding for shiny clients and marketing.
Also, XMPP servers and clients are also a lot less bloated.
Most users care more about contact discovery than privacy so it makes sense for them to implement it and unlike Signal, it uses #xmpp so everyone has the freedom to use any other app that doesn’t require a phone number and you are still able communicate with everyone on Prav.
This looks like a SMBC before coloring.
Browser: Firefox + uBlockOrigin
Passwords: https://www.passwordstore.org/
Instant messaging: https://joinjabber.org/
DNS: https://mullvad.net/en/help/dns-over-https-and-dns-over-tls/
Almost all Matrix servers seem to require at least an email address. A better option would be XMPP, as most servers only require a username and a password to register. It’s also the IETF internet standard and a lot less bloated than Matrix.
XMPP, the internet standard for federated instant messaging.
So the cost of getting a post on the front page of every Lemmy instance is the cost of registering a new domain.
Since it’s not federated like XMPP this is completely pointless when all the users are on their server.
Let’s go web standards!

Having been in a long distance relationship during COVID, with times where I couldn’t meet my girlfriend for 12 and 18 months, I know just how the loneliness crushed me and how much happier I am now we’re married and living together.
Lots of revolutionary things started out extremely expensive and got cheaper over time.
I only track the dotfiles which I actually write, not the generated ones. So it’s not so different from code. Desktop programs which generate intransparent config files suck. I only wish there was a good way to synchronize my Firefox using git. I know there is user.js but it all seems like a mess to me.
I also rarely want old versions of my code, but I still use git. A very nice feature, besides the essential backup quality, is to synchronize dotfiles between machines and merge configs together if they diverge.
