#Google and other tech giants are quietly buying up the most important part of the #internet

We’re reaching the next stage of internet maturity; one where only large, incumbent players can truly win in #media.
Consumers will soon need to decide exactly how much faith they want to place in these companies to build out the internet of tomorrow. We need to decide carefully, too; these are the same companies that are gaining access to a seemingly ever-increasing share of our private lives.

The rocky road to #OMEMO by default

source: https://gultsch.de/omemo_by_default.html

Moxie #Marlinspike, in his 2016 propaganda piece ignorantly bashing #XMPP, had one valid point: Enabling end-to-end encryption in a homogenous environment is easier than introducing it in a heterogenous one like #Jabber. Nobody is denying that. However, if something is hard to achieve there are two possible approaches: Either try your best and don’t give up, or put your head in the sand and create yet another walled garden that is no different from other proprietary solutions.
Admittedly it has taken us a while to get to a point where we can enable end-to-end #encryption by default, but it was worth the effort in that we ended up with something that is different from #WhatsApp in more than just marketing.
