On: Beeper Mini is now open-source

[redcobra762]

Over and over again you play this game of “hide the ball” where you respond as if you’re advocating for the subsumption of Apple’s iMessage product, then flip over to responding as if you merely are here to advocate for an open messaging protocol. My responses have always addressed the former, and ignore the latter, as the latter is an uninteresting and wholly obvious concept.

Should people be able to agree on a shared and open protocol for communication? Yes. Should the US government nationalize iMessage? No.

I bow to your pedantry. Everything else is dust in your wind.

In no way is what I’m saying pedantic, but I can see how that’s easier to accept than reality.
