Between miserable latency, not-so-great fidelity, and the fecklessness of phone companies in the face of the robocall epidemic, I have come to hate phone calls.
I'm rooting for something to replace phone communications. Any chance that Matrix can do better on any of those fronts? Especially on fidelity and latency since they're germane to the high-level subject of this discussion.
- colordrops 6y agoOne conspiracy theory is that tech companies have lobbied to prevent real action on robo-calls, in order to get people like you to hate calls and migrate to online services.

- AshamedCaptain 6y agoIt definitely exists in France. I still receive a robo call every single day on my land-line, liste rouge/Robinson or not. I have stopped bothering reporting them. The prevalence of "who called me/is it important" services makes me think it is not an uncommon problem.
