That’s shitty times thar you have to use tools for pirating like torrent, Usenet to share big files . For smaller ones even email providers have bigger limits at least 15 megabytes

Yes, different generation. I didn’t write OLD or ELDERLY. Yes, we grow older - accept it or not :-)

The user base has changed. Before it used to be used by young people willing to share their parts of lives, exchanging f.e. studying material Now it is used by mostly older people (over 30) having family not willing that much to share anything from their lives except from talking to their relatives over the messanger.

So who creates the information today? I guess bots and sometimes some facebook groups but I noticed that facebook shares your group posts to absolutely not related people to that group.

Including your mum and sister, the posts related on smoking weed and going to techno parties.

Young people (Gen-Z) don’t use facebook pretty much at all. Sometimes maybe messanger because of their family

The same you could say with “conversative” term meaning. In the original meaning it was “not willing changes” not “far right radical” whatever it means ( right now it’s considered to have conservative people in that group by left wing people )

Is there an email thread where c and rust Linux kernel devs actually discuss what’s about? Because so far I see some Linux drama and I have no slightest clue what’s about

It’s widely quoted quote even by Steve Jobs. You’re reacting like: famous austrian painter liked animals and forbid animal cruelty. So it means like you’re like him

I only want to know how did you bump on this off topic

It’s not my quote

Yeah, being not paranoid is hard in XXI century.

TBH the same scenario has been mentioned in the “ex machina” movie from 2014 when colleb has been asking how the humanoid robots work. The deep blue was AI of search engine taking data from listening to the phone calls

Most of the non tech people reaction

Good artists copy, great artists steal. If I think even Steve Jobs mentioned having in mind their visit in Xerox Parc research lab

Seriously, if you do take one verse from the whole response, you get straw men you fighting with.

I just told you that jabber / xmpp was created in the times almost nobody knew or believed mobile phones can be a thing. Thus it got created in that way: many similarities of xmpp and e-mail, irc or icq which didn’t stand the passage of time.

Of course, you’re right xmpp evolved to get PubSub extension as an “optional feature” but because of its availability (or rather lack) - most servers didn’t support it even the client did support, xmpp didn’t win the acceptance of the end-users. It got some attention in the business world (cisco jabber) but not in the retail.

Business cannot work forever without clients willing to pay or at least use, so it died off even in the business.

End of story, try not to fighting with the straw men you created.

XMPP is very old and was created when nobody knew about mobile phones. It worked more like true messaging app less than messages store ( unlike matrix ).

Requirement of permanent tcp ip connection doesn’t work well for mobile + pretty much useful feature in xmpp ( like message history ) is optional. If something doesn’t work in xmpp most people would blame xmpp / jabber rather than the lack of feature support in their server

Mastodon offers rss for both keywords and users

Polls signed by USSR officials. Yes. you’re laughable. Like 100% support like in North Korea otherwise gulag

If you call the majority of the country cancer, it’s a clear sign you’re commie scumbag.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martial_law_in_Poland in 1979 - 81. Whole country, students, workers, artisans were protesting against just lack of basic goods, cheap flats and no job opportunities and you call it “cancer”. You summed up your political movement well.

Hmm, what alternative? XML :-)? People hate Grade DSL just for not being xml

Lol, strawmanning because running of your shitty arguments? Yes, indeed eot

Whole country was anticommunist scumbags? 68, 80, 82? People were protesting because high prices of groceries, basic products, lack of flats, no work opportunities for educated people. You have no slightest idea what you’re saying. My father and mother were protesting as students, but my father’s father was in the party, director of the cheese factory and even that fact didn’t protect my father. You’re really commie scumbag for advocating violence for the protesting people. Allegedly protesting and human rights were guaranteed in those communist countries constitutions

Growing grass maybe. Normal grain has much higher requirements. It’s clear you have no idea about agriculture. Cows can eat plants which human would die after. They’re evolutionary specialized in this. Humans are not cows, maybe it’s hard to accept :-|
