I'm sorry: what?
This coming from a huge professional company ( #LINE ) that provides mainly IT related services, this actually suprised me.
I mean the phrase "large amount of HTTPS" already caused some decent face palming, but claiming that your #chat communication might fail because of HTTPS?
That's new!
And don't get me wrong: communication at scale is difficult โ but blaming #HTTPS for errors won't help anyone ๐
I know it's the most popular messenger in Japan, Taiwan, and Thailand, and not so much elsewhere, but I love LINE Messenger so much! It's just so cute. ๐ #LINEMessenger
For those who don't know the size of the problem:
In 2006 I bought a new [entry level] Computer with 256 MB of RAM and a single-core P4 Celeron with 2,8 GHz.
This thing ran #WindowsXP and #NeedForSpeedMostWanted just fine.
Nowadays it would crash trying to open #Slack even on a minimalist #Linux distro like @bunsenlabs in @dillo, a lightweight browser ...
And now imagine that some folks have to use #Slack, #MicrosoftTeams, #Telegram, #Signal, #WhatApp, #WeChat, #QQ and #LineMessenger at the same time on their machine, and you can imagine that this will make entry-level desktops already scream harder than if someone were to loop the Lost Coast benchmark on them...
Everywhere else we'd not accept such a #bloatware IRL.
One thing that really pisses me off personally is the #regression in terms of #Messenger #Apps. My personal distaste and dislike for #proprietary, #SingleVendor & #SingleProvider #services like #Signal [ยน](https://infosec.space/@kkarhan/114234551915193036) [ยฒ](https://infosec.space/@kkarhan/114935952643402592), #Telegram, #Discord [ยณ](https://infosec.space/@kkarhan/114865723904157014) [โด](https://social.treehouse.systems/@krutonium/115157611977216372), #WhatsApp [โต](https://infosec.space/@kkarhan/114873895410403238), #Slack, #MicrosoftTeams, #discord [โถ](https://infosec.space/@kkarhan/116063760849048926)[โท](https://infosec.space/@kkarhan/115736223551632209) etc. aside: - *WHY* is there no #CrossProvider #Messenger to handle that shite? - *WHY* does everyone of these shitty providers think people want to download their #bloated #WebApp that takes up triple digit Megabytes if not entire Gigabytes and will gobble up all the #RAM and #CPU each of them can?? This problem ain't new and *already got [solved for corporate social media](https://infosec.space/@kkarhan/114862619013462466) ages ago!* (Not to mention actually good messengers!) - And no, [bridges](https://toots.ch/@dalai/114862754556459439) *[don't](https://swecyb.com/@troed/114862774972645542) count*! - I mean `API 0` - [style](https://digipres.club/@foone/112685423773959519) access because obviously [none of the platforms](https://digipres.club/@foone/112685414638522984) will *allow, endorse or support such an endeavour* and [*actively fight the developers and users*](https://digipres.club/@foone/112685441496803574) ! So yeah, consider this a call for a @[email protected] / #Gajim or @[email protected] / #Pidgin *for garbage platforms!* - Cuz back in the day we had *way worse messengers* yet people actually made #AIM, #ICQ, #MSN, #QQ, #IRC & #XMPP work just fine from one single *"phat" client*! - Can we please get that back? Cuz #WastefulComputing pisses me off! #api0 #Enshittification
