Day one patches are pretty common, don't see why this is a big deal.

It's the issues with XMPP's spec: you don't just use XMPP, you use XMPP + your favorite optional spec implementations.

If your friends aren't on the same server/client combo then you won't be able to communicate with them (effectively).

I loved XMPP, still do, but haven't used it in years. If it were to get a single, matrix-style "spec release" (think an aggregation of existing features into one collection) that contains/requires a bunch of modern chat features I've come to expect from programs, then I could see it potentially having a resurgence.

I'm very excited for this! Granted, I do wish they'd stop "announcing" Matrix 2.0, but I think the release of SSS alone is reason enough for celebration.

I have sync issues with even Slack or WhatsApp when I use an old device that hasn't updated in a while - Matrix's new sync scheme is genuinely fantastic and fixes all the issues my aging synapse server was having (4+ year server means those initial syncs on log-in could tak upwards of 10 minutes).

Now I just want Element Call to work with my pre-existing accounts and then I'll be ready for the next Matrix 2.0 announcement 😂

Might need to find more active communities?

The spam thing is annoying, but is a result of anyone being able to join a room and just upload images.

Really wish the large rooms would just disable image uploads, or use a bot to police new users a bit.

Yeah, really don't get this one. As an example, I've been supporting the guy who writes most of the software I use via Github sponsors for a while, now. It's nice to get access to additional support chat rooms and perks and stuff, but just the feeling alone is satisfying enough.

I genuinely recommend those with gainful employment to consider supporting the people who make the software and media you like (E.g. Patreon).

Issue reports and the likes are nice, but they're really not a substitute for cash (in my opinion).

This is a pretty interesting idea! And I do agree that the feature to aggregate comments from multiple posts would be useful.

I'm annoyed to see you getting down voted - I had a similar issue years ago with my work MacBook (couldn't run a custom WM because any modification to the Finder was blocked without putting the machine into "unsafe" mode).

I love OSS, but without a verifiable way to distribute it large swaths of the workforce won't be able to use it.

F-Droid is great, but sadly it isn't enough.

This place is known for both their price and portion size. I generally get two meals out of a single $30 sandwich.

Regardless of how popular the place is with tourists, it is still a classic.

And, bonus: if the line is too long you can just go to Russ and Daughters a block away and grab a pastrami lox bagel (see attached).

Well, you can see it here.

Also, here's a nice overview of what it is and why it's so expensive. I didn't know that particular species of fish was almost extinct because of overfishing.

As humanity we kind of suck, don't we?

Can we not give them ideas? Thanks.
