Australia uses kilopascals rather than PSI. Our standard is 500kPa which works out at around 72 PSI.

Wait. So is this fruit loop saying the “Parasitic Elite” put horse urine on the dome in Wales to make it look tarnished because… reasons? And the Annapolis dome is shiny because of magic “aether” that those pesky Elites can’t defeat even with horse peepee? But like, why? What is the deep dark reason for tarnishing the domes???

Also, and I hate to be the bearer of bad news, I saw the Annapolis dome years ago, and it was as green as green can be… then they refurbished it in 2020. So no magic “aether” involved, sadly.

I asked how the circumstances are similar, not vague descriptions that suit your existing views. But sure.

XMPP was dogshit back in 2004. A good idea, but nowhere NEAR what it needed to be to actually get mainstream acceptance. ActivityPub is light years ahead.

There were very very few XMPP users in 2004. There are millions of ActivityPub users. If meta was to pull the plug on federation it wouldn’t kill ActivityPub, there would still be millions of us here. We joined Lemmy/Kbin/Mastodon because we don’t want to live in a centrally controlled/owned social platform. That won’t change just because we can suddenly interact with Threads users. In fact, if anything, once Threads users hear that we get the same shit they do without the ads, they might decide to join us instead.

Google killing off XMPP integration didn’t kill XMPP. It did that all on its own.

The Ploum article again. Please explain how the circumstances with XMPP and ActivityPub are remotely similar.
