Maybe CEO are the easiest job to replace. If the AI clone can do what the Zuck can do the board can fire him and save a lot of money.

The problem is - the board can’t fire him

Marc Andreessen would be a perfect case study in duality if he actually had some redeeming qualities besides just being rich.

> if he actually had some redeeming qualities besides just being rich.

“Besides”? Being rich isn’t a redeeming quality, I’d say. It’s not even a quality in general.

The shape of his head might be interesting to study, though. Not in a phrenology sense, just anthropological, I’d be curious to see his skull.

Their point is almost the exact opposite to the one a 'gigachad' would make.

And yet their name concludes otherwise.

Fair point! I didn't even notice their username, in case that weren't very obvious.

So basically they are trying to reach what Lenovo and others are doing for years.

Nice Apple. That's good :)

Spaces in the XMPP protocol allow to cluster several groupchat rooms together similarly as Matrix Spaces or Discord Servers.

Tell me how many versions, extensions, remaster and patches World of Warcraft actually have today?

The issue is that we might have disconnected from the real world and its problem for a few decades already.

As a side note, this is actually akin to my favourite Slashdot troll.

> The Get Some PRIORITIES! troll began to appear after the September 11, 2001 Terrorist Attacks. A classic offtopic troll, it employs highly hyperbolic language to criticize the other posters and Slashdot in general for discussing trivialities like new gadgets or changes in U.S. copyright law in the wake of such a horrific event.

You're right! Therefore society should collectively stop having fun, playing games and propagating culture, until all of our problems are dealt with. I bet that will go just swimmingly.

> I just wish there was some kind of ACID test suite for XMPP or something else to reproducibly validate spec compliance. Maybe a test server or similar as a reference implementation. This way client or server maintainers would have to run their programs against the official test server to increase their compliance stats.

This is exactly what the Compliance Suits are for, and the XMPP Software Fundation is taking care of telling all the clients what they misses directly on the official website, for example: https://xmpp.org/software/movim/

There is the XMPP Compliance Tester[0] by the author of Conversations. It does a good job at testing servers. On the client side I'm not aware of any kind of benchmark.

My point is about why clients like AstraChat can be listed with "Advanced" in the overview, but then in the details page it has nothing. See https://xmpp.org/software/astrachat-xmpp-client/

This should not be allowed.

Because the declaration file of the clients says that it is actually compatible with everything in this section.

You can't run scripts on all the XEPs declared, some of them are purely redaction or bound to specific UI/UX behaviors. This is based on trust that the developers actually implemented things as stated.

Not being able to automate something is not the same as not being able to verify at all. It sounds like the parent commenter is arguing that at least some of the clients listed are not worthy of this trust because (either intentionally or due to developer error) they don't actually hold up to scrutiny. Obviously they're just one person and their opinion might not be representative but it's hard to argue that if some random user is expected to have enough time to try out various clients and figure out which ones work or don't that the official people in charge of making the recommendations of clients should probably be able to find the time to as well even if it's just a volunteer that they, well, you know...trust.

And they are both compatible, unlike Element and ElementX ;)
