It’s time for real interoperability. Let’s make it happen.

The #DMA targets walled gardens and messaging interoperability. Meta, the designated gatekeeper, offers an solution that falls short of its goals.

The XMPP Standards Foundation (@xmpp) publishes an Open Letter to Meta, to advocate for adoption of #XMPP for messaging interoperability.

The letter: xmpp.org/announcements/open-le…

Union und SPD planen den Generalangriff auf den Datenschutz: Bürgerkonto-Pflicht, Altersverifikation, verpflichtende ePA, massiver behördlicher Datenaustausch – dazu ein Opt-out-Prinzip, das faktisch jeden zur gläsernen Person macht. Wer profitiert? Wirtschaft, Militär, Forschung. Wer verliert? Unsere Grundrechte. Unfassbar!👇

in reply to 🌈 Lascapi ⁂

@lascapi There are multiple ways. It can start with using the network and talk about up to support and engage in development. That could be on the protocol as well as XMPP clients and beyond software such as servers. Development support can also be helping as a tester. Of course you can also follow and promote our channels.

I despise American commentators like Scott Jennings who peddle the Trump lie that tariffs are helpful, because they force companies to move factories to the US to avoid tariffs, and then there will be no price increase.

When a factory is placed in Mexico instead of the US, that is because it is cheaper to make a car in Mexico. If the same factory is then moved to the US as Trump wants, the cars produced will become more expensive to make. This will obviously raise consumer prices.

THIS IS IMPEACHABLE!!!

The Nuremberg tribunals stated in unambiguous terms that enslavement or deportation of a population is a crime against the customary international law. See Robert Jackson, The Nuremberg Case xiv-xv (1971). Further, Nuremberg Principle IV(b) provides that the “deportation to slave labor … of civilian populations of or in occupied territory” constitutes both a “war crime” and a “crime against humanity.”
