Great, I did get them from F-Droid.

Let's see what F-Droid does. Maybe they will switch to releasing an open source fork and we don't have to search for alternatives after all.

Sad to see them go, I use their apps every day. Probably they don't really need any updates for a long time, hopefully an open source fork will emerge until then.

Nothing in the XMPP RFCs says you can't do that. Go ahead.

Off topic, but the rules of math are not set in stone. We didn't start with ZFC, some people reject the C entirely, then there is intuitionistic logic which I used to laugh at until I learned about proof assistants and type theory. And then there are people who claim we should treat the natural numbers as a finite set, because things we can't compute don't matter anyways.

On topic: Parsing notation is not a math problem and if your notation is ambiguous or unclear to your audience try to fix it.

I think they were talking about this comment: https://sh.itjust.works/comment/6264541

It seems like it didn't propagate to infosec.hub.

It's a list of domains which provide temporary email addresses. The more interesting question is who uses them.

I bet they didn't consider this one when writing the law!

Can you prove your brain is more than a algorithmic probability engine albeit a powerful one?

At least the private contact discovery is not very private:

The client calculates the truncated SHA256 hash of each phone number in the device’s address book.
The client transmits those truncated hashes to the service.

Phone numbers are so not-sparse that there even was a game to text your "number neighbor". I can probably build a pretty effective rainbow table for this with my current hardware.

It was the first article about this subject with explained at least a little bit how MV3 will hurt ad blockers so it was still an interesting read.

WhatsApp started is an XMPP client, but they use lots of proprietary extensions (doesn't matter since they don't federate). You can build very robust and scalable messengers with it if you want to.

The open source implementations are developed by like 1-2 guys in their spare time and they're not far behind (and sometimes even ahead) other federated messengers which received tens of millions in venture capital funding.

XMPP is the IETF Internet Standard while Matrix is just another custom IM protocol managed by a venture capital funded startup which keeps losing money.

If you need to convince your friends to use some app it might as well be XMPP compatible instead of another walled garden. If you can get your friends on board, you win, even if nobody else uses it.

XMPP maybe. Matrix is a bloated protocol which costs a lot more to host.

There's an IETF internet standard for federated messaging called XMPP. Just be compatible with the standard. It also allows for extensions if you offer more than the core spec.

I honestly don't know what you mean by that. I use Arch btw.

A duck.

I can't read Chinese, only Japanese, but I think it's asking for a name and the number of a personal ID which should have 18 digits.
