Nah, people got changed too. The younger generation is not interested in the technology that much otherwise then usage of it. Also even the older generation lost its interests because of getting older and family

Admitting by the ad company is for sure not a proof. So what is? If in courts, pleading is good enough for thr court

That’s always problem for any type of media. Including the tape which keep changing generations and only few recent are supported for reading. I still have blue ray reader / writer though

There is: mdiscs. Allegedly 1000 years durability even in Blu-ray format. Should be good enough for most important things. The best tapes AFAIK 30- 100 years

Preferences are debatable and some people actually like that crap you don’t. F.e. I never understood American hype on “superhero” movies. I’d sooner watch American wresting which may be more plausible than any modern superhero movie

That’s shitty times thar you have to use tools for pirating like torrent, Usenet to share big files . For smaller ones even email providers have bigger limits at least 15 megabytes

Yes, different generation. I didn’t write OLD or ELDERLY. Yes, we grow older - accept it or not :-)

The user base has changed. Before it used to be used by young people willing to share their parts of lives, exchanging f.e. studying material Now it is used by mostly older people (over 30) having family not willing that much to share anything from their lives except from talking to their relatives over the messanger.

So who creates the information today? I guess bots and sometimes some facebook groups but I noticed that facebook shares your group posts to absolutely not related people to that group.

Including your mum and sister, the posts related on smoking weed and going to techno parties.

Young people (Gen-Z) don’t use facebook pretty much at all. Sometimes maybe messanger because of their family

It’s widely quoted quote even by Steve Jobs. You’re reacting like: famous austrian painter liked animals and forbid animal cruelty. So it means like you’re like him

I only want to know how did you bump on this off topic

It’s not my quote

Yeah, being not paranoid is hard in XXI century.

TBH the same scenario has been mentioned in the “ex machina” movie from 2014 when colleb has been asking how the humanoid robots work. The deep blue was AI of search engine taking data from listening to the phone calls

Most of the non tech people reaction

Good artists copy, great artists steal. If I think even Steve Jobs mentioned having in mind their visit in Xerox Parc research lab

Seriously, if you do take one verse from the whole response, you get straw men you fighting with.

I just told you that jabber / xmpp was created in the times almost nobody knew or believed mobile phones can be a thing. Thus it got created in that way: many similarities of xmpp and e-mail, irc or icq which didn’t stand the passage of time.

Of course, you’re right xmpp evolved to get PubSub extension as an “optional feature” but because of its availability (or rather lack) - most servers didn’t support it even the client did support, xmpp didn’t win the acceptance of the end-users. It got some attention in the business world (cisco jabber) but not in the retail.

Business cannot work forever without clients willing to pay or at least use, so it died off even in the business.

End of story, try not to fighting with the straw men you created.

XMPP is very old and was created when nobody knew about mobile phones. It worked more like true messaging app less than messages store ( unlike matrix ).

Requirement of permanent tcp ip connection doesn’t work well for mobile + pretty much useful feature in xmpp ( like message history ) is optional. If something doesn’t work in xmpp most people would blame xmpp / jabber rather than the lack of feature support in their server

Mastodon offers rss for both keywords and users

Hmm, what alternative? XML :-)? People hate Grade DSL just for not being xml

Exactly, the title is as at least misleading. They mention only one scientist with not that Cristal clear reputation. X is wild west of astroturfing but at least it’s better to be honest
