I keep seeing people hating on the EEE crowd. Finally meta makes a move that proves we were right.
EEE?
Edit: When did people start referring to embrace, extend, extinguish as EEE? I've heard of the term plenty for the past ~24 years but never seen this acronym before? Ah well...
embrace, extend, execute
What Microsoft tried to do to Java in the 2000's
What google did with the precursor of matrix. Forgot the name.
xmpp? i just needto say that xmpp is still around, and i strongly prefer it over matrix.
The precursor of reddit is also still there. Google kicked it out of relevance all those years back.
I read about it since I have a matrix instance and shopped alternatives. What would you say are the points it has over matrix?
It just seems faster in every client that I've tried. There's also a lot of software that's built around it, and crucially, my xmpp bridge isn't banned from joining Libera IRC channels.
Interesting! Thanks for mentioning it.
