Switzerland is in Schengen area and in EFTA but not in EU.

They force paying customers ( yt music premium & yt premium ) to disable ad blockers, too. Why? If I accordingly to the contract shouldn’t get any ads why they would need to punish for blocking ads which shouldn’t exist :-)?

Is there an email thread where c and rust Linux kernel devs actually discuss what’s about? Because so far I see some Linux drama and I have no slightest clue what’s about

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

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

Polls signed by USSR officials. Yes. you’re laughable. Like 100% support like in North Korea otherwise gulag

If you call the majority of the country cancer, it’s a clear sign you’re commie scumbag.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martial_law_in_Poland in 1979 - 81. Whole country, students, workers, artisans were protesting against just lack of basic goods, cheap flats and no job opportunities and you call it “cancer”. You summed up your political movement well.

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

Lol, strawmanning because running of your shitty arguments? Yes, indeed eot

Whole country was anticommunist scumbags? 68, 80, 82? People were protesting because high prices of groceries, basic products, lack of flats, no work opportunities for educated people. You have no slightest idea what you’re saying. My father and mother were protesting as students, but my father’s father was in the party, director of the cheese factory and even that fact didn’t protect my father. You’re really commie scumbag for advocating violence for the protesting people. Allegedly protesting and human rights were guaranteed in those communist countries constitutions

Growing grass maybe. Normal grain has much higher requirements. It’s clear you have no idea about agriculture. Cows can eat plants which human would die after. They’re evolutionary specialized in this. Humans are not cows, maybe it’s hard to accept :-|

Free Healthcare as long as you manage to survive the queues and not to die in between. Same with everything. Good propaganda bloke, people kept waiting for own flat 30 years and even after that you didn’t get it without connections. My parents weren’t in the party, the all bought the flat in that bad capitalism.

Not mentioning my father beaten down by prison guards because taking part in students protests. So called “path of health”

Can’t you understand the feed for the animals is the grain which doesn’t meet human consumption criteria? Certain amount of grain comes with the defects and is a by product of the normal grain growing process. Also the quality of the soil doesn’t allow to grow grain for human consumption because of its bad quality. Do you know that there are various levels of soil quality? The feed for animals is grown on the worst soils

Still you even touched any single argument I proved in your response. That’s the dead end of this conversation. Going vegan reducing fertilizers usage? The simple logic will tell you that it will increase the demand on plants ( going vegan, we cannot eat the feed of animals because thats very poor quality of plants, even harmful to people). So we’ll need more fertilizers on top what we already use. That’s a simple economics. We can’t feed the current 8 billion population without using the industrial way of agriculture and farming. Even with going vegan. Every economist will tell you this. That’s pure fantasy world

Very bio organic crops.

Pesticides and fertilizers without which modern agriculture cannot work (we wouldn’t be able to feed the current population) poisons whole ecosystems, people (around 200 000 people yearly https://swiss-food.ch/en/articles/jährlich-über-200000-tote-wegen-pestizid-vergiftungen )

Is it more “human”. I met people who suffer diseases exactly because of this - no compensation at all, it’s very hard to prove by the level required in court rooms

I won’t even start mentioning how many small mammals, rodents and birds and bees get killed because of modern agriculture.

Do you still feel yourself morally superior?
