I think it's less the interaction with currently established economies and more that it would never pass without ~~lobbyists~~ Congressmen sabotaging the law to make it fail and then using that to say, "See!? UBI doesn't work ~~(when you set it up to fail)~~!"

Am I a bad person for hating foreign stuff like J-pop and anime? in c/[email protected]

I think it's normal to not be into stuff.

Hating stuff that you have the option to not interact with seems like extra work.

YSK: What a Proxy War is. in c/[email protected]
[–] underline960 9 points 2 days ago

by that metric basically any war since globalisation is a proxy war

I would argue that practically every war since globalization is a proxy war.

Israel never withdrew from the ICC...

...because they never actually joined.

To join as a member state, you have to ratify the Rome Statute. They signed, but never ratified or acceded.

I wish we had a secure, private, FOSS messaging protocol as the default.

We need a good alternative to having our friend networks fragmented across six different apps.

It's been around for years and it's still useful for figuring out when your gâcha resets locally.

How's mbin doing, lately? I switched (back) to Lemmy when kbin shuttered and haven't kept up with it.

What is a story in a song that would make a good movie? in c/[email protected]

I just don't know, man.

I think their songs would make for interesting comics, though!

XMPP vs everything else (discuss.privacyguides.net)
 

cross-posted from: https://sh.itjust.works/post/40286422

Is UX/UI and marketing really the reason XMPP lags behind Signal/Matrix/Telegram?

Matrix is going Freemium and WhatsApp is adding ads, which is sparking the annual "time to leave [app]" threads.

Users don't care that much about privacy, but they do care about enshittification, so XMPP not being built for it shouldn't be a problem.

Meanwhile, I've heard for years that XMPP has solved a lot of the problems that lead more popular apps to fail.

Is it really just a marketing/UX/UI problem?

If XMPP had a killer app with all the features that Signal/Whatsapp/Telegram has, would it have as many users?

If not, why does it keep getting out-adopted by new apps and protocols?

Edit: Matrix isn't going freemium, it's introducing premium accounts to fund the matrix.org homeserver. Thank you for the corrections in the comments.
