I am using Matrix because Noah in his Podcast Ask Noah Show really like to talk about it.

The Steam Deck , being able to play RD2 and GTA V with a handheld console in my opinion is great!

I was happily paying for Spotify and Disney+ with price hikes I said fuck it I am not paying anymore.

Very interesting! I don’t have that many tech friends just regular friends.

Any suggestions where to start?

Thanks for sharing!

Oh good to know!

It actually is very cool look it up in Google and it will blow your mind how awesome it is.

Oh thats cool , how can I start on IRC?

Is XMPP another protocol too right? I read about that one. What’s the difference?

? I am confused.

Well Beeper is using Matrix and yes you can self host a Matrix Server. I haven’t tries IRC before might give it a try but I wanted to know what people mainly use for. Thank you for sharing :)

I am learning about Matrix because of Beeper and Element. Beeper is an all in one app that can bridge to telegram , WhatsApp , Instagram and even iMessage on an android phone. Really good stuff happening over in Beeper.

May I ask what do you mainly use it for? Chatting? Group Chatting?

When you said you can use it in a potato you mean like self hosting ? Yes I heard about the bridge :)

How do you steal media if its not encrypted? :\

Thank you for sharing :)

I already move my domains to cloudfare! Great decision.

I like tech so mostly Ars Technical , Android authority , XDA Developers , Its FOSS , Torrentfreak.

I learn to use RSS and now use an app like feeder for android that gathers news from the places I want without an algorithm deciding for me.
