So what defines corporate? What defines paid? You’re excluding mom and pop shops and even medium sized businesses from your definition. How are lawmakers supposed to know if their law is gonna harm specific industries if businesses can’t tell them?

The article states they were released.

Several of those seem like (at least according to the Wikipedia articles) that they’re two armies from other regions just meeting in those locations. ~~2~~ 3 of those battles only lasted a year. One of them lasted a month. I don’t really think you can say it’s any sort of “ancient conflict” over the region. It’s a region of earth just like all others and there have been battles there. If there’s a river or water access then there’s probably been a battle at it, no matter where it is.

Those links amount to maximum ~~15~~ 3(!) years of war. We’re over 70 years with the current conflict. Literally ~~5~~ 23x as much as your links for the past two thousand years.

I don’t really know much about this subject, but I just wanted to jump in because I read your links and they literally just seem like a meeting place for two armies. Not that the land itself was being fought over.

Edit: I didn’t realize that the first battle you linked was only a single year, but the conflict lasted over ten. So I updated my post for that.

That would outlaw scientists lobbying the government to stop things like global warming and pollution. It would stop mom and pop shops from lobbying against things that are good for massive corps but bad for them.

Wait, but they were released?

I don’t really think there’s any massively large scale messaging apps built on node or python that function well. Node has a decent connection limit, but there have been thousands of articles written on all the difficulties you will have with that and getting it to actually perform at that level. Yes it will run, but not well. Python just isn’t even close to node, so I’m not gonna bother with that. OTP was built for this. The matrix org might have been able to get it to work with Python or node eventually but when you’re building an application that needs to be easily maintained by the open source community with as few architectural decisions as possible, it’s just not gonna work out unless you’ve chosen the right tool for the job to start with.

Edit: Zulip (the best oss chat app I’ve used) is written in Python and typescript but it’s not built for anything other than single org use. For single org use you’re not going to have tens of millions of messages a day.

That stuff does appeal to me, but Zulip has done it better for a very long time now. Matrix, while decentralized, really provides nothing else besides pain. Organizations don’t usually care about federation. They want a single chat app that they control and they’re ok if it’s FOSS.

Like, if I’m an organization I’m choosing Slack or Zulip 100% of the time. If I’m playing games with my friends I’m choosing Discord. There really aren’t good alternatives. Everything else sucks incredibly badly.

Depending on your specific Wyze cameras, you can literally make them local only and never need to send back to Wyze servers. https://robsears.com/wyze-cam-v2-rtsp-iptables/

Edit: actually, looks like it’s officially supported for v3 as well. https://support.wyze.com/hc/en-us/articles/360051619871-Does-Wyze-Cam-v3-support-RTSP

So yeah, completely different ball game. If Wyze ever does anything you don’t like you can just turn your cameras into cameras you control completely.

Your numbers are so far off as to be meaningless. If the real numbers are half that, and you compare to their competitors, then it’s an entirely different story. The numbers you provide are completely integral to your argument, and your numbers being so wrong means you’re just complaining about nothing.

Wyze isn’t Ring…

I don't think Discord is great. But it's better than dealing with "Unable to decrypt message" on every message I get. It's better than being unable to properly search a channel, or server. It's better than the slow mess that Element (and other matrix clients as well!) are.

Hot take: Erlang/OTP is renowned for handling ridiculous numbers of concurrent users and has been battle-tested for decades in distributed systems, especially in comms platforms. To this day, I cannot comprehend why Matrix.org chose to use Python and Node.js of all things, instead of Erlang, or more recently, Elixir. This feels like such a low-hanging fruit in terms of architecture design, yet Matrix.org,

This explains so much. Why in the world is matrix not built on OTP??? Discord got this correct, right at the start. They went all in on Elixir and Rust and ho-boy, you can tell.

I honestly do not understand the draw... at all.
