I don’t usually hear this opinion.
Most of the time, it’s about how XMPP has everything you need without the boat of a Matrix server.
“Balefire? You stopped balefire? Nothing should be able to do that.”
“It’s just a weave,” Perrin said.

underline960@sh.itjust.worksto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Is it okay for gay people to call ourselves homophobic slurs?13·3 days agoAgreed. Call yourself whatever you want.
I consider this:
One part sarcasm, one part hoping they’d actually do it and get in trouble.
as underhanded and immature. What kind of argument were you having?
Reminds me of the ‘murder is okay’ meme.
Edit: this one.
underline960@sh.itjust.worksto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•One major issue with social media is that it operates on a first come, first served basis. This essentially rules out the possibility of well-considered, well-researched content being successful.6·5 days agoWhat you do is you go into the tumblr mines to screenshot someone else’s considered takes, and then be the first to post it somewhere else.

Advertising itself is Still Allowed, but not in a Way That Secretly Tracks Everyone’s Behavior.English75·8 days agoThis is a win for everyone in Europe, and possibly beyond. [Emphasis mine.] Companies may no longer secretly track your behavior based on “consent” given under pressure. Hopefully, this will not only put an end to these dubious practices, but also to those pesky cookie banners.
But we’re not there yet. Regulators have ruled the system illegal, and the court’s ruling has now confirmed it. Still, the companies making billions from this model won’t stop on their own. That’s why European regulators must now truly step up: enforce the law and make sure these companies actually comply.
Regulators try not to get compromised by lobbyists when billions of dollars are at stake.
I sincerely wish you good luck.
