  • XMPP was old and broken and way too barebones as a Protocol by the time matrix replaced it. Everything that made it usable was an extension that not all clients supported. This way, you had all kinds of bullshit happening between different clients. Encryption was an optional addon, and thw first message was always unencrypted, bootstrapping encryption with another person was a nightmare, and multiple clients per person were barely supported.

    It is a protocol of a different time, easy as that. Google Chat has nothing to do with the (recent) death of xmpp. It continued in its niche until something better (matrix) came along.

    Source: used xmpp daily before finally switching to matrix, which works way better.


  • Viele Unternehmen haben sogenannte “Winback-Offers”, temporäre oder dauerhafte Rabatte (oder eben auch mehr Leistung fürs gleiche Geld) für kündigungswillige Kunden. Das beste Angebot bekommt man üblicherweise wenn man langjähriger Kunde war und tatsächlich schon gekündigt hat für die “Rückgängigmachung” der Kündigung. Daher können solche Fragen durchaus Sinn ergeben. Kenne Leute, die das weidlich ausnutzen und einmal im Jahr kündigen. Mir ists den Aufwand meist nicht wert.
