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

If android were GPL 3 the users would be protected from "tivoization" aka locked hardware. Too bad Google don't want that happen

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.

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

Believe or not, I still use core2duo CPU and GeForce 5300 and I run free operating system because newer technology contains shit

Wow Apple, a proprietary software which are known to treat users badly and enforce cencorship suddenly remove my podcast? I'm shocked!

Glad I deleted my gmail account, a gateway to google walled garden, years ago. Even if google put Digital Restriction Management on its shitty browser I would use Firefox and Pale moon browser. Never been a a fan of chromi-shitty-um

 

If you buy this, you are scammed.

This is why proprietary software subjugates users. Stallman is right.
