i think having automatic notifications isnt great, but i could see a use for servers keeping track of how long since the user was last seen with online presence

you could do that almost entirely client side just keeping track of presence events, it just doesnt account for when your client is offline

> The worse crime is of course stealing the role of window management away from the OS, ushering us into the era where the web browser is the OS. 😢️ Zash. I understand your statement. Yet, it is your choice. You decide for yourself. And also, the new developments that enable higher definition of graphics inside consoles, will ensure that we can make use of computing, even without display managers such as Mir, Wayland or Xorg. ✏ ↺

And I agree. The task for window management should be reserved to window managers. ✏

Some window managers even attempted to provide tabs, like fluxbox, I think on beos tabs were a thing. But then it turned out that it's easier to implement tabs inside your software instead of waiting for a corpo like microsoft to implement them. So each piece of software reimplements them itself.

Almost, now all software just runs in a web browser :P

I recall listening to the Kevin Trudeau Show, when Kevin has talked about an experience with an officer which was invited to dine with his family. He has said, that during the meal, he realized that she was "stoned" (i.e. under the nifluence of drugs). He concluded that people should be hapy by that misfortunate state of affairs, that there are more "junkies", because it increases the employment opportunities of those who are not "stoners". ↺

Continuing my message... Hence, we should be happy for that trend, because we have more opportunities to stand out! Thanks to people of XMPP, including you, edhelas, Zash and other friends here, I have managed to create a content management system (Rivista XJP) and even a collaborative annotation management system (Blasta) with XMPP. I did not even imagine that I ever would. https://blasta.woodpeckersnest.eu ✏ ↺
