I use XMPP every day for my event groupchats

It basically works, and makes me mostly very happy

Shout out to 404.city !


I had to choose a groupchat option for an event I run and the choice ended up being XMPP because the Matrix mobile apps we tried were all crashy. I wish everyone working on Matrix the very best, and will continue to run a demo for myself once a year.


Thanks for continuing to give Matrix a try! There are rough edges, for sure. I'm excited to hear what you think the next time you give it a spin – your experience is valuable feedback for us.

Really enjoying Mint's approach to this. When the flatpak for Audacity fails to launch, uninstall and switch to a working version from apt all within the same window.

Canada charges a piracy tax on ALLL HARD DRIVES AND STORAGE MEDIA.

It's not piracy, we already paid!


> Canada's current private copying levies are as follows: $0.29 per unit for CD-R, CD-RW, CD-R Audio, CD-RW Audio disks [0]

The Canadian government does not. You likely haven't paid the tax in the last decade, if ever.

Thank you for this correction.

While it changes my understanding of the legal facts, my feelings about piracy remain the same. Funny, that.


Oh they do that garbage in Canada too? I thought i was able to escape it by leaving Italy


Cheers to the dozens of us using XMPP every day :)


Interesting! In Canada it is Remembrance Day https://www.canada.ca/en/services/defence/caf/militaryhistor...


Bingo


The most important thing is what happens after vendors fail and disappear - the code and keys and reproducible build system must be released so people can fix their things.

A standard and an org for keeping those things in escrow, please!
