> I've seen this as a common trend on any India-related discussion. Does anyone have any ideas as to why?

My theory is the rise of Hindunationationalism, and nationalism in general in India, which leads to the feeling of needing to defend ones country against any perceived attacks. Combine this with a huge country and rising levels of English proficency and you will get that type of comments on English speaking online boards.

No, you don't need a single authentication provider, you can use more or less what you want/need and there is nothing for it mandatory in the protocol.

What currently is kinda centralized is an identity matching service, but even that is completly optional and will bec replaced by something more federated at some point.

New comment by SaltySolomon in "It’s time to repeal the Jones Act"

Because if they 'import' things like food or an amazon package from the mainland they can only use Jones Act vessels which drives the costs up crazy.

I mean, it also creates a circular dependency, if you have an issue with your own product and trying to fix it then you can suddenly not communicate.

But there are already many laws in many countries that distinguish. For example airlines where for example to count as a EU Airline more than 50% must be owned by EU citizens.

SaltySolomon — Wed, 17 Nov 2021 19:12:08 +0000

The whole issue with XMPP is that yes, in theory you could do e2ee accross multiple servers and devices but only if all the servers support the right extensions and the clients support them properly.

SaltySolomon — Tue, 23 Mar 2021 07:34:39 +0000

Mumble has a terrible user experience, especially for non technical users. It also covers a really small subset of discord features, the Voice Chat.

Don't missundertand me, on a technical level Mumble is impressive and can do voice channels with thousands of participants, but on the clientside its just a mess.

SaltySolomon — Mon, 15 Mar 2021 15:09:43 +0000

Just a nit pick, its not at the supreme court, its at the highest court (Oberster Gerichtshof), the court below the supreme court, the Verfassungsgerichtshof.

Its confusing, I know.

A drop of sales is so common, and espeically a more sharper after the core customer base has bought the book.

So yes, the OP is probably a novice to the whole book selling buisness.

SaltySolomon — Thu, 28 Jan 2021 08:05:54 +0000

The issue is really that the entire feed went buggy from all the comments, even the inbuilt too, which they are probably using called AutoModerator has delays of over 10 minutes and more instead of being instant.

Mostly likely Windows because most education software is written for it and most education places get it basically for free.
