       @akai https://unluckylisp.com/blog/posts/comms.html>I just never really liked how alt tech clients handle push notifications. These apps seem to be poorly optimized and destroy batteries on mobile devices.Not really their fault; if you don't tickle the jewgle's balls just right you don't get permission to access the notification proxy that runs an endless connection in the background. See unifiedpush, and more specifically, ntfy.sh, for solutions (but note the caveat that these proxies have to run a persistent notification, because otherwise the jewgle tickles their pickle often)>XMPP as a protocol is really versatile and useful, but the clients that exist around it lack consistencyI am only aware of pidgin differing in any notable way from any other jabber client.Pidgin is still too good to pass on.>I think only the Apple ecosystem really handles SMS across all types of devices well.This is because SMS is actually just fucking dogshit that should have been abandoned decades ago, and Apple did the usual Apple thing of "lol fuck that let's do it our own way" but they just didn't bother telling anyone about this one.>If Gmail becomes ubiquitous with e-mail, then I think that would be a sad day (even though the service would be more dependable than others)You've never tried to achieve reliable mail, I see. We used to use gmail for an email bot at work. Now we use 365ワロタ>because e-mail centralization is just more of a convenience rather than a necessity or social pressure.ALMOST AS IF FEDERATION IS A FUCKING GOOD IDEA, SO GOOD THAT IT SHOULD BE A FUCKING LAW
