If i learned anything from my early contributions, it’s checking the health of a project and attitude of its maintainers before spending anytime on that project.
I think it’s a good move. Carriers are decentralized by design, af if they were not greedy and stupid, they could come up with at least one decent messaging. RCS is good by they did not make e2e mandatory in the protocol.
I’m in this picture and I don’t like it!
I use Tab Session Manager and Session Sync add-ons with Firefox and I’m quite happy with them.
Imo that’s what caused Firefox to lose market share to Chrome. They focused too much on Firefox OS and deprioritized browser development. In one example, it took them a long time to implement FIDO when it was already functional in Chrome.
Your decision is perfectly sound. The problem is apparently Firefox. I’m using Voyager installed with Firefox and will report any other weird behavior that I notice.
That thread contains some interesting facts. For example TLS mismatch which is why FF can’t load the favicon.I installed Voyager again from m.lemmy.world and the icon is now correctly displayed.
Interesting. I had not noticed that.
The least one can do, is stop using Chrome for real.
It’s also bring used by drive European entities that are not allowed to use WhatsApp and similar.
I’m not sure whether this is real or coming directly from a cyberpunk future.
I think it’s okay, since people on all platforms create multiple accounts and throwaways.
This will happen again unless tools, culture, and conventions are made and taught in fediverse. Maybe communities having a certain mass should be subject to special rules, like irl.
It might be partially due to corrolation as well. People who don’t like to be controlled by corporate overlords and be their products, tend to use/switch to open alternatives.
I took your bait and posted to 196!
That’s the same problem as with Chrome. If internet for most people goes through Google Chrome (which it currently does: Android, smart devices, Electron Apps, Android apps, Edge, Brave, etc.) then the controlling entity can redefine the meaning of that protocol. In the above example it would be Google redefining the meaning of the web, see DRM, manifest v3, and similar efforts. Small players wouldn’t be able to play catch-up or disagree (it wouldn’t matter) and risk bring irrelevant.
The admins of defederating instances fear the same could happen to ActivityPub and fediverse.
The most notable one imo is Google semi killing XMPP. They started Goolge Talk based on XMPP and after many people started relying on it, they replaced XMPP with their proprietary protocols.
my humble method: history | grep -i searchterm
I heavily use Firefox for Android on multiple devices since many years. It HAS annoying bugs. The most annoying for me is the tab view keeps forgetting the last tab you were on, when for example closing a tab from tab view or moving between tabs by swiping the address bar.
I think every person’s bugs depends on how they use the software.
edit: quick word order fix.
