There's a reason why this went from widely supported/used to... not so much. And even if most people claim it's big-co's locking down their ecosystems (which is partly true), the "extensibility" of XMPP allows for a very convoluted ecosystem with some servers supporting certain XEP and some not. Also, sorry, but XML just sucks to work with nowadays :(

No one hand codes JSON. No one hand codes XML. It's much of a muchness.

Your child is still far from forming any concrete understanding of the world.

Play is far more important than conforming to definitions of mimetype for things that are all the same or following someone's arbitary rules for where to put collections of names that mean nothing.

Try NoBSB: Go for walks in the forest or outside, play games, have conversations.

Google is at 16 billion searches a day currently. It is not "effectively dead."

Google is on almost every mobile device that's not Apple.

This antitrust is the thing keeping Google going.

Edge devices are problematic. I want to outsource the risk and decrease capex (and just hope opex works out).

Cloud involves losing sovereignty of data. And rabbits.

Only two ways: Become huge like Stackoverflow or Reddit; Become huge by scraping huge sites like Stackoverflow or Reddit.

Search is dead. Long live information asymmetry.

Had you told me back in 1995, that in 30 years we'd have 4K screens and I would only be able to see 10 emails in my inbox at one time...

Netscape 2.02 or Microsoft Mail client from back then looks amazing by comparison.

Change it yourself then. It's right there in the documented CSS file. Not even overobscured SCSS!

And Netscape in 1995 look good in comparison to.. Pine?
