Users don’t care about federation. For them, there is no such category as “federated chat”. There is only “chat”.
XMPP never had significant market share among the instant messengers of the time (except maybe as custom solutions for work chat, but not as a consumer service).
2017, previous phase is now complete, XMPP is virtually unheard of.
So it returned back to a state where it would have been without Google anyway.
All the Jabber clients and services combined were never even close to rivaling ICQ, AIM, MSN, Skype, or whatever else ruled the IM space back then.
It’s just like a car having an odometer. This would come in handy when buying second-hand, remember all the uncertainty about the condition of used GPUs?
(That is assuming they make the state user-readable though.)
It’s not actually for safety - it’s because they want their own software to be the only option.
It’s the same move Apple uses whenever they block something in the name of “security”.
Just get rid of the pretense and make a proper market for delivery orders with bids and asks.
Then you can place a limit order for your pizza, to be delivered whenever there is someone willing to deliver at or below your stated price, and vice versa.

I keep hearing how good AI is at coding these days, why can’t they just use it to rewrite all the model and library code up to full AMD support?

Thanks, the second link talks about this in the "data.plist" and Mac serial numbers
section.
Why would they do that? This thing aligns with their interests (more money in the industry)
Doesn’t iMessage require some sort of Apple-issued device id? A key, unique to a device, hard-coded in the SoC? (which is easy to block if over-used).
Which is why hackintoshes used to require crazy workarounds to get this working, even with Apple’s own software, if I remember correctly (never tried myself, could be wrong).
How did they get around this? (did they?)
Replacing the battery in your light switch is something you do maybe once every 3 years.
And you can still use your phone as a backup remote.
That’s a situation for a government program, not insurance. Insurance is for situations where it’s unlikely that you’ll need a payout.
Of course people today have to deal with the systems we have, but I’m talking about your hypothetical “future” scenario.
Well of course nobody hates the individual dogs personally. It just means the general sentiment of “this place would be so much nicer without all this shit”.
For age verification specifically, they are supposed to just set a “verified” flag in their database and remove the rest of the data within some amount of time (not more than a month I think).
I wouldn’t trust some random nobody to do this, but big companies should have processes that comply with privacy laws.
But robot dogs don’t have any of the issues that typically cause people to hate dogs, such as pooping all over the sidewalks, or barking loudly in an apartment building.
There’s still a difference between only the provider having your identity vs your identity being public (which is something Facebook’s real name policy mandates).
They should’ve just picked Kotlin.
It also encourages good basic habits, such as not making a variable mutable unless you specifically need to (val
is way more common than var
, the IDE makes them very visually distinct).
I had programming (Pascal) in school in a random-ass country in Europe 20 years ago (I was like 14).
This has been widespread all over the world for a long time.
With end to end encryption, and requiring manual key transfer (no key sync), this would not be an issue.
