We're pretty far from being able to automate everything

maintaining democracy

What definition of democracy are we using here? Just so we're on the same page.

I do not think trump was making a meaningful change on that level, in any case. The US never had a true people's rule it that's what you mean, for trump to take it away.

Gaza is not the only issue.

they are also clearly not a Biden supporter. They do not support either candidate, so the two options should be treated equally.

For XMPP, have you looked into using snikket? It does most things you'd want out of the box without having to setup extensions yourself.

cyclohexane OP , to Selfhosted in Why is Matrix mentioned more often than XMPP in self hosted forums?

Here is a docker compose:
https://snikket.org/service/resources/docker-compose.yml

You only two configuration options in the config file: domain and email.

cyclohexane , to Selfhosted in Self hosted remote storage for VPS?

I've been wanting to do this exact thing. I already have wireguard setup. Please update us if you do this.

cyclohexane OP , to Selfhosted in Why is Matrix mentioned more often than XMPP in self hosted forums?

This makes matrix even less attractive to me lol. But you're right, that's a very good point.

cumbersome to parse

Parsers have already existed for so long in every major language. Why need to worry about parsing?

And why need to worry about transports working differently if they achieve the same thing? They seem similarly convenient if I understood what you said correctly

cyclohexane OP , to Selfhosted in Why is Matrix mentioned more often than XMPP in self hosted forums?

Why is JSON better than XML? It's more modern, sure, but from technical perspective it is not objectively better right? Not something worth switching protocols for.

You mention XMPP has transports as opposed to Matrix bridges. I thought they give you roughly the same outcome. What's the difference?

cyclohexane OP , to Self Hosted - Self-hosting your services. in [Question] Why is Matrix mentioned more often than XMPP in self hosted forums?

From a quick look into XMPP's clients for android, they seem nice and some have modern features too.

Is there any technical limitation that would prevent xmpp client from having a WhatsApp-like UI?? WhatsApp started out with XMPP and probably still uses a variant of it. If anything, I'd imagine its harder with matrix given the complexity of the protocol.

cyclohexane OP , to Self Hosted - Self-hosting your services. in [Question] Why is Matrix mentioned more often than XMPP in self hosted forums?

Makes sense, but to me newness alone is not a benefit. In fact, it is a bit of a disadvantage. XMPP has more clients for example, and they are more mature.

cyclohexane , to Privacy in Web Devs: is there a phone-number-less AUTH that still prevents bots?

It uses the arkenfox thingie. It doesn't block JS, but it does block a lot of things and possibly certain JS features.

You're correct that inflation is the devaluation of money. The value of a unit of money is represented by what that unit can buy, so the person you replied to is also correct. This is why the most used indicators of inflation are measures of buying power.

If my money is devalued, it means that when I was able to buy 1 gallon of milk, I can now only buy 3/4ths a gallon with the same amount.

So while you're correct in your over simplified example that inflation can be caused by the growth in "pool of money", as you alluded, it is not that simple and its not the only cause. Moreover, inflation still manifests itself in the form of prices increasing. If pool of money grows, but prices remain the same, there's no inflation.

This does not necessitate a "canal of businessmen" conspiring.

Doesn't work on Mull browser (hardened Firefox for android) :(
