Jabber was part of the wave of technologies and early dev 2000s that thought XML/XSLT could solve waves of interoperability and middleware issues. Instead it was just bloat in an era where bandwidth still mattered and Apache Cocoon died fast. JSON replaced XML because you didn't need to sort your backslash closing object tax of annoyance. CSS became more important than XHTML, SOAP, REST and everything superceded it.

XMPP failed because there was no incentive for Google and Facebook to let their users outside the gardens. The same issues plague the decentralized platforms of today like Mastodon.

Been around long to see history repeat is fun.

Abbott's Navica app links to its binaxnow covid test. Same red green functionality... no temperature check theater!

...and restore Glass-Steagal. Maybe expand it so FAANG can't run hedge funds.

It's a molecular test. It detects virus RNA by taking swabs from the nose or back of throat and sticking them in the reagent part of the machine with rapid amplification.

Snap has filters and disappearing texts. Other than ads, there is no user or product data to mine unless they are breaking their own rules. The product is easily cloneable by Facebook, goliath of Internet with it's brethren of Google, Microsoft and others. Reminds me of... Groupon?

As described by a coworker: "Snap is the Uber of Twitter."

at least Twitter has data to mine, the product is still you... even with a character limit.

Facebook is big enough to get the Goliath media attack. Looks really like a Snap stock prop piece.

Coffee is a Coke product. It's Georgia Peach coffee, and it's literally big in Japan. It tastes so bad to American palettes that it's a beverage allowed to be brought in from the outside to Coke headquarters in Atlanta.

Samba 4? And to that end my company uses AWS Directory Service, which the "Simple AD" is supported Samba 4 that hooks our servers, windows laptops and AWS workspaces to one non-MS domain controller.

There are Microsoft shops out there, and there are some that I've worked with that are happy with Microsoft.

There are Oracle shops out there, and never have I heard a client say "We Love Oracle!"
