IIRC this was partially elaborated on in Matrix 4, where

It's the Misery Nexus we were warned about.

Nice! Writing a similar converter was my first step when I set up my parallel site-capsule.

Love gemtext, it's so simple yet pragmatic. (And there is just one version of it, unlike Markdown)

How did you do it? I tried convincing several people to use Matrix or Signal, and I get "who am I gonna talk to on there?" and "WhatsApp works fine".

My peeve is products made "easy" to use, in a way that makes explaining them extremely difficult. Two top examples are:

URL bar in browsers which doubles as a search bar. Good luck explaining why if you type in an exact existing address, you will get there, but otherwise (typo, extra space), you will end up on Google.

Apple's iMessage. Your message will be sent to your contact using one of three protocols: SMS/MMS, iMessage or RCS. This is almost entirely opaque, and I even had to explain to a tech-savvy person why videos they send me look like blobs.

Me, a (mostly) backend developer, reading a Medium post on how to make your computer display a div using Awesome New Web Framework (TM)

I taught basic computer literacy. I am a software developer. It's tough to reframe my own knowledge so drastically, but the new perspective also makes me question why so many things are wrong with current tech (particularly UI/UX).

When I last used Dino (a few years back, on a PinePhone), I had to build it with notification sounds flag. Not sure if this is still the case, or if that is the same for calls.

./configure --enable-plugin=notification-sound

While looking for above, also found a GitHub issue with your problem

Could someone please enlighten me on what is the companies' endgame with putting AI chatbots everywhere in their products? (Especially generic ones like this) What are they looking to gain by doing so? And if money, how? Injected ads?

Honest question.

WDYM soft-bricked?

Here's what I did: I had a OnePlus (before there was a Lineage image for it), rooted it, disabled Google Play, which made all apps scream at me repeatedly (although still worked), then installed MicroG, which made the screaming stop, and most apps continued to work fine (except a specific one that used Google Maps API on a page - MicroG was not enough for some reason)

I am not sure what you mean. Is there a different way to connect a USB-C hub to a smartphone other than the only USB-C port?

I know you are being sarcastic, but that is pretty much how many people buy phones and cars. It's a gas guzzler with barely 20MPG, requires premium gasoline, is unreliable and can only be serviced at specific dealerships for a top dollar? But it has a premium feel

The entire luxury market would not exist otherwise.

Hardware is nice and all, but how is the software? The 2020 Nord 10 I had was way too eager to kill any background processes, and had a very bad bug consuming all storage space.

I assume the bootloader will be unlockable, being a OnePlus?
