> 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.

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.

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.

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.

Just a nit pick, its not at the supreme court, its at the highest court (Oberster Gerichtshof), the court below the supreme court, the Verfassungsgerichtshof.
Its confusing, I know.

So yes, the OP is probably a novice to the whole book selling buisness.

The keys for trusted compute, memory encryption and such are saved inside the CPU, so if you change the CPU you also loose all those keys.
