I like computers that can run for several days or weeks on a single charge. Today, better processors and better screens could make this possible. Add solar panels and we would have weak computers that work like calculators. No power from the wall!
the problem with decentralized alternatives is that they are even less stable than matrix currently is, and therefore less adoptable by non-tech people. I'd love to spend more of my time on tox/jami/cabal rather than matrix, but I'll do so only after matrix is widespread enough, beacuse I think that currently matrix needs the contribution in form of actually using it and getting people to use it, so that it gets a stable userbase. once I won't worry about matrix getting weaker because of no users, then I'll look into decentralized messengers.
