Google Talk was never Jabber. The Google Jabber integration was way before that in Gmail. Google Talk was what came after Google decided to abandon Jabber.
Wikipedia says otherwise.
If Google had actually supported Jabber instead of sabotaging it, we would not have this discussion.
Google kills messaging services all the time and launches new, incompatible ones. Google did not sabotage Jabber, they sabotage their own chat services all the time.
It’s not dead, and works fine.
Also WhatsApp is using a slightly modified version of XMPP
Obviously modified enough to work better with mobile when it launched than Jabber’s state of the art back then.
Again: Google did not kill Jabber. Jabber achieved its downfall on its own by being bettered by proprietary services that just worked better on mobile devices BACK THEN.
Well, Monal on iOS doesn’t work worse than Telegram on iOS, so then apparently it’s flawless as well.
Again: The current state is irrelevant when discussing the time frame when Google allegedly killed it. The state of Jabber and its clients was just abhorrently bad back in the day. That was the reason the world moved to WhatsApp. Google Talk has always been a niche product. That’s why it’s dead.
That’s a bad implementation then. Modern open-source XMPP works great on mobile
The issue was the state of mobile clients when XMPP died in the mainstream and state of the art was crap like Xabber. Conversations was better but too little, too late.
iOS is more of a mixed bag, but that is solely Apple’s fault and applies to all messengers other than iMessage.
Telegram works flawlessly pretty much everywhere, including iOS which my mom uses.
XMPP as used in the enterprise communication product my employer uses (AFAIK based on the common open source implementation) sucks as much on mobile as Xabber which I used back in the day. I get notifications 30 minutes late if at all. That thing killed itself by not adapting to smartphones.
Truth Social is a Mastodon server. Does this count during the upcoming Trump presidency?
WhatsApp is the world’s most widely used messenger. FB Messenger (which is now its own product for whatever reason) is also extremely successful.
If Google killed XMPP, how come some enterprise communication products (off the top of my head I can name two that are successful at least in Europe) use it?
If I can follow some mainstream entertainment accounts from Mastodon, I’m fine with that. I dislike having to log onto Twitter or Threads just to find out what some motorsports teams are up to.
When you visit a Lemmy community, only its home server displays the actual subscriber number. If you visit the community from a different server, it shows only the number of subscribers from your server. That’s the reason I put one of those subscriber count badges in the side bar, so everyone can see the correct number.
I was explaining why it’s not a dilemma for the Russian government. You wrote “But…” and then made no counter argument, so I don’t see what you’re trying to say.
The question now is whether Russian authorities will allow him on the ballot.
The elections are rigged anyway.
I wrote “in almost every market” which is as clear as it can be. I’m being downvoted because die hard Samsung haters see red immediately and don’t care about facts.
I was talking about most individual markets, not worldwide combined market share. There’s a difference and no amount of down voting changes that.
Man their ux is awful.
Samsung pioneered a UX on big screens that works with only one thumb. It took Google a while to adapt that to upstream Android. Ports of OneUI to community ROMs are quite popular on XDA Developers.
How about pixel?
The only brand other than Galaxy I recommend to normies. For idealists there’s also Fairphone but that’s also not available everywhere.
So? Worldwide sales obviously include countries like the US. I made clear with my comment that I didn’t mean worldwide sales.
Disabled that shit and my next phone isn’t going to be a Samsung.
You won’t be able to disable that sort of things in most other phones, though. It’s not like China crap won’t push ads and Samsung has second best Android support after Fairphone.
That’s not how ActivityPub works.
