All files stored on IPFS are public. It’s also incredibly slow and inefficient. You would be better off using BitTorrent.

Maybe it’s in an airport within a ski field?

Let them go bankrupt

The most offensive thing here is the amount={5} attribute. What is it? It’s not XML.

The NGO is a decoy organization with exactly the same people (minus one) as the VC funded startup. Go look at the “core spec team” and find out which organization they belong to.

Your information on XMPP seems to be quite outdated. File transfer in XMPP is now mostly done by uploading the file via HTTP and sending the URL. Audio calls are done using WebRTC and work two ways.

“protocol extensions” (aka: incompatible)

Reality shows that implementations can very well implement the same extensions. If you don’t use extremely outdated clients you will find they do have compatible file transfer and A/V calls. ActivityPub works the same way.

Meanwhile Matrix Ltd. cooks up a completely new, incompatible protocol instead of building upon existing internet standards.

I don’t see the reason we need a venture capital funded bloated protocol anyways. Just switch to XMPP. It’s much more lightweight and it’s the internet standard for instant messaging.

XMPP works well and the community is actively developing server and clients. There aren’t any big corporations funding it anymore that’s all. Still the best instant messaging protocol in 2023.

You sound a bit like those Christians complaining about how the gays stole the rainbow from God.

Here is what I used before I switched to desec.io: https://gist.github.com/haansn08/50565768c66c5fbf382b2bc2484e8a41

I’m pretty sure they don’t profit from sending you to another McDonald’s.

Didn’t even mention Mastodon once.

Thank you I tried to figure out how one could recognize Bobby Hill in this drawing.

Free locked down scooters that can’t move.

That would be awesome, wouldn’t it be?

Do you think we live in the best possible of worlds where nothing can be improved anymore?

From my point of view the mathematicians are evil.

Well, then you are lost!

Boring tech is awesome.

Yes, they should be legally required to open up access to their service. No more walled gardens that hold a large number of users hostage.

I never said anything like that.
