thebiblelover7 commented on BirdyChat becomes first European chat app that is interoperable with WhatsApp   birdy.chat/blog/first-to-... · Posted by u/joooscha

While not a commercial offering, which is what this is saying in reality - closed source, commercial alternative with (limited) interoperability, I've been running my own chat server for a while now with (limited) interoperability with both Whatsapp and Messenger.

I suspect a good number of people here don't care for any of this - FOSS, chat, voice, and video is where it's at. Interoperability for those last two don't exist yet AFAIK, and they're truly game-changers. Will that change? Does the DMA mention anything other than chat? Perhaps someone could enlighten me.

How have you been running it? How did you make it interoperable?

KDE Connect does that in LAN. Clipboard sync, file transfer, contacts, calls, remote control, etc.

And you can do it over any network if you pair it with tailscale. Tailscale + KDE Connect is such a time saver.

Time alone doesn't equate to quality, but you can't deny that creating something really good doesn't take a long while.

I think you mean "creating something really good doesn't take a short time"

> Over one billion TikTok videos will be viewed today, and yet, you’re still here, reading a speculative essay about media economics. I don’t take that for granted.

Well said. Articles like these bring a sort of relief to me from the constant chaos of short-form media and the like. Very refreshing.

I've found Anki the best app to learn almost anythinf that requires memorization. In my high school days, I saw a direct correlation between the amount of Anki studying I did, and my grade.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding this, but what would be the advantage of running straight Linux versus an AOSP-based mobile OS? Like, why not just keep the great apps that do run on there and ignore the Play Integrity ones that don't. Does it have to do mainly with just the governance of AOSP (i.e. Google)?
