    If RCS or the new #Chat is to be primarily an IP app then there are plenty of other (encrypted) apps that I would prefer, and no reason to make it dependent on the carriers' imprimateur. But it *would* be nice to have a single app that automatically picks the best available mutual protocol. I'm thinking some kind of negotiation handshake like analogue modems use.

    Ammonia is a base radical, so an acid will neutralize it. Try vinegar: https://www.wikihow.com/Neutralize-Ammonia

    1. How to Neutralize Ammonia
      from wikiHow
      Ammonia is a base compound that can be hazardous and toxic in high quantities. Ammonia is produced with the breakdown of animal and vegetable matter, including the breakdown of protein in urine. Pets and cleaning products are the main ways...

    Agreed, #SMS isn't a silo, although not a freely accessible protocol either; it's only available at the whim of the carrier. And Google's new Chat uses RCS, supposedly Rich Communication Services, which will be equally controlled by carriers. But my suspicion is that, unlike SMS, Google will become the only app vendor for RCS protocol messages. My 5 year comment was based on the expected lifespan of Google projects. Google Mail has been around for a while, Google Buzz and Wave not so much.

    @bobjonkman SMS isn't a silo and it's lasted a lot longer than 3 years. Google's only involvement is getting carriers to adopt 1 standard for RCS instead of building 55 different ones; it's just "Chat", not "Google Chat".

    For Wikipedia I just create another search entry with keyword "w", so I can just type "w foo" to search Wikipedia...

    Doesn't need an extension to search with a keyword (or a keyletter). In the settings for #Chromium or #Chrome open "Manage search engines", DuckDuckGo should already be in there, then change the keyword from "duckduckgo.com" to "!". Now you can search ddg by typing "! thing-to-search-for" (yes, you do need a space). For !Firefox and its derivates create a new bookmark with the location "https://duckduckgo.com/html?q=%s" and the keyword "!", and again you can search by typing "! stuff"

    I was at a political event yesterday, where it was mentioned that government provides funding to the important academic curricula like software coding in kindergarten and subsidies for business programs. But I noticed that the event's headline performers weren't coders and business folk, but poets and musicians...

    Struck a chord: "We assume that humanities faculty
    Do not concern themselves with
    Grossly material things
    Like health and money and the houses they live in
    Because they get to read books all day,
    And that’s hardly a job at all!"
