Google has suspended Element (@matrix) from the Play Store for "Sexual Content and Profanity". Basically same story as with Subway Tooter a while back. Element is to Matrix as Chrome is to the web. Curiously, Chrome is still on the Play Store.

I wrote a small, colourful fetch for MSYS2 on Windows. Written in hackable POSIX sh.

Now everywhere I go it's neural network this and neural network that. I'm going crazy.

The solar flare just hit, all your digital lifetime's work is gone.

eg: "I'm on the Jabberverse! Message me using any Jabberverse app."

lol sounds stupid but so does every new term.

It intuitively evokes federation and a plurality or clients, even if a normie can't put it in words, something "Jabber/XMPP" doesn't really evoke in natural conversation.

def:

The distributed instant messaging network of federated clients and servers governed by the XMPP (Jabber) protocol.

Throwing it out there.

@xmpp
Do you think it's a good idea to create a term like the "Jabberverse" to use with people?

eg. Instead of saying "use any app which uses the Jabber/XMPP protocol", say "Use a Jabberverse app". Much more natural and intuitive.

I think this could be very useful, like "Fediverse" for ActivityPub. Language is powerful when used well.

Version 2 of the info graphics with clearer recommendations (#WhatsApp - Reject, #Telegram - Be careful, #Signal - OK, #Matrix/#Quicksy/#XMPP - recommended, #P2P - recommended).

These days my head is aswim with uncertainty and optimism both.

But no matter what happens, I strongly believe in the course set for @spritelyproject. 2021 is set to be a big year with a lot of amazing stuff to show off, esp w/ the CapTP stuff falling into place.

I can't wait.

As I've said, I'm extremely proud of the work I've done on ActivityPub, but I think long run the work I'm doing on CapTP will be the bigger highlight of my career for advancing network freedom. Deserves a blogpost about why.

Both examples of building on others' great work too!
