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

With streaming services you have to pay and you don’t own it, with torrents you only have to pay for internet fee and you’ll own it forever.

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.

“Sure, Chromiums code is available and you can modify and redistribute it. But if you want to send your changes to the main project so that more people may benefit from it, it is ultimately Google’s decision. This is the problem with projects that are not community-run.”

Google is asshole. This shows than NOT all open source codes are free as in freedom. Stallman is right.

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
