I’m talking in terms of platform interoperability and technological silos. Not sure what you’re talking about. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Oh, it’s alright. I’m just not happy about the way the interoperability problems were solved. What it works out to, in practice, is two people sitting right next to each other using Google Drive or Dropbox to exchange a file. That’s great for those particular companies, which get to insert themselves into what should be private. But it’s fundamentally dumb as networking tech, you know?
