Issuing paper currencies is a licence to steal. And steal they do.

Okay, I understand what you mean, but that phrase still amuses the heck out of me.
Just implement AAC and be done with it
I implement Opus and be done with it. AAC isn't designed for realtime use and has a largeish codec delay. Opus gets better compression and has lower delay.
Don't be silly, how are they supposed to squeeze licensing fees out of bluetooth manufacturers with a fully-open, high-quality codec? (I really don't get why people don't just start implementing opus over bluetooth anyway, other than being heavily invested in "squeezing money out of people for prorprietary codec licenses").

The commonwealth bank was off the air to me for almost 8 hours. At this point I gave up and went to bed. 3 hours later, people were still reporting problems.
If 11 hours is 'briefly' how long would a long outage have to be?
Clearly it's Large Hadron Colliders all the way down.
I think it is going to take a long time to repair the damage from 70 years of rule by the CCP.
- Deliberate destruction of all civil society institutions. There is just you, alone against the state.
- Setting person against person, even within the family, with betrayals and forced confessions. Trust no-one became the motto.
- Rampant corruption lies and cover-ups. E.g. we now know covid was covered up for many months before the news leaked out.
The CCP must be amazed at the naivety of the West, falling for their "later on, I'll be good, but 'temporarily' I'll be bad" spiel.
This, for me, is a major appeal of Matrix. It works a lot like email in that you can have a login on someone else's big server, or you can set up and run your own server and have an account there, but messages can be exchanged between different servers just as with email.
XMPP (Jabber et al) also works that way, but seems to be less popular these days.
All I can see in the article is promises and guesses about what they might be capable of. Zero runs on the board in this space, where Tesla has a huge lead.
On top of that they have a proven track record of fraud and deceit.
This market reminds me so much of the late 1990s. I remember back then one company announced they were going to move their servers to Linux and their stock price doubled. I like linux but this is not a game changing move. Today, VW announces that they plan to sell electric cars at some point in the nonexistent future and their price explodes. Same old...
No doubt Twitter will be adding ActivityPub federation and RSS feeds in the next week or two and this project will be complete.
Right?
(Hello? Anybody?...)
Maybe, just maybe, if ISPs and carriers would get off their [fornicating] [butts] and make IPv6 available everywhere, IP addresses wouldn't be such a scarce commodity that there was an incentive for bad actors to fraudulently hoard them.
Functionally, it's more or less like XMPP except based on HTTPS/JSON instead of Raw-TCP-Sockets/XML. You can even run your own instance and still have it intercommunicate with people on other instances. Not only is there a fairly wide selection of client software to choose from, there are even multiple, independent (and interoperable) server projects to choose from. End-to-end encryption works.
It's seemed weird to me that it doesn't get more attention when the subject of instant-messaging comes up, especially on "technology"-themed sites.
Today is a good day for information-gathering. Read someone else's mail file.
