@sexy_peach The day that my phone becomes user-hostile is the day that I drop it to pick up something more open like a PinePhone. I’ve gone through the headaches of using FOSS stuff before it was ready for prime time before and I can do it again.
@shreddy_scientist Honestly really glad I switched to Gnome a few months ago. Finally got tired of the uber-tinkery i3wm and wanted something that just worked and Gnome filled it perfectly. Now that Gnome 44 has added proper support for killing background apps I’m honestly very happy with how usable it all is. Can’t wait to see what they do next.
@ksynwa I think it’s just because so much of the open source community really went for it after one of the biggest IRC chats fell apart. Matrix was there at the right time to pick up the pieces AND the audience that gravitated towards it were exactly the techy types that most commonly latch on to Federated stuff in the first place.
@ada @cyclohexane Hopefully they open it up soon, I’m impressed by how many people are over there.
@ch0ccyra1n @KelsonV The interoperability is really cool! I’m doing the same thing, it’s nice to be able to dip my toes into Lemmy without an account yet!
@ksynwa I think Matrix has more users (~64 million) than the Fediverse (~13 million).
I mean the thing that still trips me up the most is that social media and phones still takes away from other tech stuff that I’d enjoy doing more. When I was younger I used to play a lot of Game Boy Advance and then later PSP. Once I got a phone it became just that little bit more difficult to focus on just enjoying playing games!
