willful ignorance or negligence perhaps? but it gets tricky still

Also runs a proof-of-work challenge before you're allowed to type anything.
That's incredibly rich coming from them

I like XMPP fine, most of my use isn't possible in IRC. e2ee, calls, image upload, and a bridge to PSTN. There are also gateways to IRC from XMPP. Main tricky part is that not every client supports every feature.

I've heard "zimpee" and "zep" (for xep)

kdl has the best name of any of them and should be used more just for that

@rampagerslife
Clair's uses a chip-gun that can't be properly sterilized and is difficult to precisely aim. Much safer to go to a proper vet to get your pets chipped.
alternative software :)

It may be a little silly to host an xmpp server just to be a unified push distributor, but that's also an option with Conversations codeberg.org/iNPUTmice/up (Ejabberd also has a module now too).

You may already know this, but I wonder how much of this is people being confused by Android's rather terrible IMO UX for battery usage. It doesn't show how much percent of the phone's battery an app used, it shows the percent of the decrease it thinks an app is responsible for. (your phone battery dropped 10% over 10 hours, and it thinks the app used 50% of that). So this number naturally depends on how much or little every other app is using, even if the actual battery usage stays the same.
github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy-android/issues/90#issuecomment-2389466845
shows that pretty clearly. Looks like ntfy used ~10% of actual battery over 12 hours.

I should note there are not any known vulnerabilities in the old version implemented by clients, but there are still things that aren't great, like unencrypted reactions and metadata (this message edits that message id, or is a reply to that message id. the contents are still encrypted)
The invisible salamander problem may be possible, not sure, but being able to send messages that decrypt to different things is also possible by any server admin in a group chat, because the server can send different ciphertexts to different people. At least as far as I can tell.

It made for great drama on the kernel mailing list (which is the only reason I know about this, I'm not a kernel dev or anything). The RC period or release candidate period is supposed to be for bug fixes and such, no new features, and he kept trying to get large patches merged in while going on rants about why every other filesystem was worse. After idk how many warnings, bcachefs got kicked out the kernel.
@lunareclipse
having high quality libraries with bindings for multiple languages would help as that's a major obstacle. most clients use an old version of libsignal before they rewrote it in rust
@lunareclipse
pretty much, and at this point it almost seems like they're waiting for the next version be it based on MLS or copying signal again
@jessinthekitchen
You had me at one pot. Looks like I have about everything on hand too, can't wait to try this :3
