> I've seen this as a common trend on any India-related discussion. Does anyone have any ideas as to why?

My theory is the rise of Hindunationationalism, and nationalism in general in India, which leads to the feeling of needing to defend ones country against any perceived attacks. Combine this with a huge country and rising levels of English proficency and you will get that type of comments on English speaking online boards.

Yep, and I find it so very American to leave that tid bit out of their complaint and then it getting upvoted because muh evil EU? when its really the US goverment screwing their abroad citizens in this case.

No, you don't need a single authentication provider, you can use more or less what you want/need and there is nothing for it mandatory in the protocol.

What currently is kinda centralized is an identity matching service, but even that is completly optional and will bec replaced by something more federated at some point.

Because if they 'import' things like food or an amazon package from the mainland they can only use Jones Act vessels which drives the costs up crazy.

I mean, it also creates a circular dependency, if you have an issue with your own product and trying to fix it then you can suddenly not communicate.

I am very thankfull that the sites exists and does those architecture deep dives, ever since Ian and Andre? left anandtech it has lacked in that territory and this site is a good replacement.

DQ = Disqualification, a no go.

But there are already many laws in many countries that distinguish. For example airlines where for example to count as a EU Airline more than 50% must be owned by EU citizens.

The whole issue with XMPP is that yes, in theory you could do e2ee accross multiple servers and devices but only if all the servers support the right extensions and the clients support them properly.

Thats less than 0.5% of traffic tho, most of it is from the official apps nowerdays.

Mumble has a terrible user experience, especially for non technical users. It also covers a really small subset of discord features, the Voice Chat.

Don't missundertand me, on a technical level Mumble is impressive and can do voice channels with thousands of participants, but on the clientside its just a mess.
