matrix is not an instant messaging protocol

it just took 16 minutes for a message I sent to be received by an IRC relay, in no way is that "instant" (and that's not even the worst example, I've had messages delayed by multiple days or even weeks)

@kemona_halftau @niko it’s not in the appimage I downloaded

@niko why does oneshot include libncursesw?

@kemona_halftau it's over

@kemona_halftau

@jn @CyReVolt what ME version was SPARC?

@ellis I'm the opposite but with russian instead of english (I can speak and understand it mostly fine but find reading and writing very difficult)

@mcc @nu_scooter technically you can do voice chat over IRC (even if it was intended as a joke, it does work)

⚠ Several critical #Guix daemon vulnerabilities and a minor vulnerability in ‘pull’ and ‘time-machine’ have been fixed: time to upgrade! ⚠

@pine64 @ariadne please consider using peertube. (also, despite its issues I would still take odysee over youtube because at least it doesn't actively try to prevent me from being able to use it (by constantly trying to break yt-dlp and invidious), but peertube exists and doesn't have the problems of either)

good morning

@hexaheximal Guix isn't slopware! (why does everyone ignore Guix in favour of NixOS?)

good morning
