@Monal @techlore @xmpp I see. That's very interesting. Right, that's certainly not true "interoperability" in the full spirit. But kind of interesting to think about.

@caseynewton Yeah that seems right. Economists often want to do antitrust without market definition at all - just look at whether a company is acquiring a strong alternative, and what is the effect of such an acquisition on consumers. Lawyers and judges find it more appealing to think about defining markets and market shares. That's some of the tension.

@caseynewton The sentence you write later in the article suggests that List's study also showed that Instagram is the #1 substitute for Facebook. Should acquiring your #1 substitute be an antitrust violation?

@techlore I wonder if XMPP would interoperate. It would be awesome and also ironic since WhatsApp originated as an app running a closed instance of XMPP. @xmpp

Peter Finch, Paddy Chayefsky, and William Holden on the set of NETWORK, which premiered #OTD in 1976.

“No predictor of the future — not even Orwell — has ever been as right as Chayefsky was when he wrote NETWORK.” — Aaron Sorkin

I'm sad to say that I am in need of financial support again.

My weekly work hours at my day job will be reduced soon, leaving me with less money than I already have, and I am looking for a second job and a few helping hands.

If you have enjoyed my work on Ubuntu Touch over the years, please consider donating via PayPal or Liberapay. I only hope for donations for the short term, long term I want to be able to stand on my own again. Links over at fredl.me

@Logical_Error @craftyguy @cas @silmathoron When I first learned about open source, I thought Request Bounties were a very promising approach. But after understanding better, I have been less optimistic about request bounties.

There is a great video at the Dan on Open Source Software channel that is a great discussion of request bounties in open source: youtube.com/watch?v=vOdvlBBe4f

Absolute banger of a post shared by @tarakiyee on another network. Every other paragraph is quote-worthy.

"That impulse to scour away the messiness that makes life resilient is what many conservation biologists call the pathology of command and control. Today, the same drive to centralize, control and extract has driven the internet to the same fate as the ravaged forests."

@Logical_Error I think a pmOS wiki page about eSIM would be really useful.

Okay I finally got back to my super commuter bike project. Did some welding this evening and got the front triangle together. Just need to add one more pivot near the bottom bracket.

Hey, for anyone looking for an alternative to #Meetup dot com, just a heads up that there's a Fediverse alternative. It's called Mobilizon.

mobilizon.org

I'm starting to use the US instance (mobilizon.us) for tech and dance events here in the DC area.

And hey, #Elixir people? It's written in our language.

@neil I recall that Chats had dropped support for xmpp. So I think Dino will be the best bet. Do notifications from Dino fail to show even when the app is open? Or do you mean if the app is closed, it won't give notifications?
