Can anyone use this? Right now?

They created the “inbox” button on the desktop client because when you’re in a ton of servers, finding where the notification was a big pain point. The notifications tab covers the same thing for the app, and it’s very readily accessible now. I think before the update it still took about 3 taps to get to the “Inbox”, and only then if you knew where it was hiding.

I just signed up and tried to figure out how to join any remotely interesting community. There were none.

There were a bunch of public communities - not many - and I think the most interesting ones in the public room list were either Element Android, Telegram, and Rust. And Rust is one of my most hated games that I wish I’d refunded.

Why doesn’t Matrix just call “spaces” servers? By calling them spaces, they have created a learning curve for no reason.

Even just saying you have to download a client called Element to access Matrix is not intuitive. To access Discord, you download a client called Discord.

They ban everyone who attempt to use a custom client?

I’ve been using Betterdiscord for years and have never been banned. Matrix looks good, but I don’t think you’re selling it well by throwing Discord under the bus without some very clear and obvious justification - nobody will be inclined to believe you.

Do you have discord open on your desktop PC?

10+ minutes sounds like about the amount of time it takes for discord to recognise you’re away (ie. auto-away status). If it thinks you’re there (ie. online status), then it shouldn’t be also pinging your phone. It’s the same as when you have discord on your phone and open and it doesn’t ping you with every message while you’re already looking at it.

I just had a look at Matrix and it seems that the settings let you choose between Off/On/Noisy. Apps like whatsapp default and keep you stuck on “Noisy”.

Do yourself a favour and get Bitwarden or similar. Browser password managers are way too vulnerable.

I love SNW and greatly dislike Lower Decks, so it was pretty enjoyable for me when the crossover episode happened and the crew of the SNW all looked at the Lower Decks crew with expressions on their faces in the same way I thought of them, throughout the entire episode

I didn’t follow TOS and can’t follow what’s going on with the Gorn in SNW.

It seems really strange because every SNW episode has been episodic and they’ve been such great episodes, that now they’ve gone back between episode 1 and episode 10 with this Gorn arc, it’s souring the show for me.

Like maybe if this made more sense to me, fine, but can we go back to Spock and Chapel and T’Pring all dealing with their we-can’t-do-this relationship and Erica wanting to get out of the pilot’s seat for a while, and La’an dealing with a past and a relationship she’s forbidden to talk about, and M’Benga trying to deal with a dark past, and Uhura learning she’s more than she thinks she is… all that great stuff one episode at a time and then why not an episode perfectly mixed in with a musical as the penultimate episode to the season finale.

Oh, and by the way the Gorn are back so I guess there’s a new big uninteresting threat that Pike and the crew have to deal with to finish things off… OK. But why?

So that Sisko could do a song with him as a little icing on the DS9 cake

This broad ain’t playin’ with a full deck!

Can you ELI5? I’m reading the comments and still not comprehending what’s going on here.
