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)

good morning

good night

current state of brokenness on my alpine laptop:

• HDMI audio doesn’t with pipewire and the bluetooth service crashes with pulseaudio (but works when I manually restart it)
• greetd/regreet is broken and doesn’t respond to any inputs initially for some reason so I have to log in to a tty and restart it before logging in
• when a second monitor is plugged in, regreet chooses the worst possible option of rendering half of the screen on one monitor and the other half on the other

now I remember why I switched back from pipewire to pulseaudio (HDMI audio doesn't work with pipewire)

What version of MacOS runs on this? I’m not familiar with the 17g6g but $2 seems a good deal if it’ll run something recent.

going to bed now, good night

Just because I'm curious. How many languages do you speak? (well enough to have a simple conversation, at least)

Do boost.
