I don't have a better link/reference, but the following shows that threading is a desired feature within the Matrix network and ecosystem: https://matrix.org/blog/posts#a-thread-for-next-time So, who knows, m

Agreed i'm not interested in "ever-growing"...not for a distro nor a gov...but i am interested in an evolving one for the better - i.e. improve effectiveness, and reduce bloat if it adds nothing of value. ;-)

Most days I'm 50/50 on that approach...On days when i support that, i would be so happy to pay them which would sustain their dev efforts, enable open source to persevere, etc. And, i trust them tons more than other providers. Bu

To clarify, my comment about non-cooperative chat systems was in reference to MS Teams, Slack, etc. I didn't bring up XMPP. XMPP *might have* been an ok universal protocol to standardize on, but many players (like Google et al) took th

I count myself as a huge fan of matrix - both the protocol as well as the federation concept - and even i feel that bridges are a compromise...but i don't blame the matrix folks. In fact, bridges are the best compromise that i can thin

I see it similarly! A team should leverage only what helps it, and no more. In fact, i have quoted to teams (that are thinking how to adopt agile, scrum, whatever) some lines from Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do: "...I hope to free my f

Many, many businesses have mailing lists with very high numbers (e.g. hundreds of thousands, or even millions of valid, double-opted-in recipients, etc.)...so needing to send out 20k emails per hour is pretty easy.

But, here in America, our horses only want to carry guns and drive big trucks...and, well, hang out with cowboys. Not so sure that they even want to work! /s :-)

I'm not sure what you mean by "reasonable"...but i have been known to use LibreOffice Draw to make some minor edits to a PDF file. Have you tried LibreOffice Draw for such tasks?

I have a very small number of VPS with DO, so while this price increase is not impactful to me, it is somewhat shady how they portrayed this new pricing...not evil, just less than what i expected from DO. In paralell, for a couple of years

I heard of this service recently from somewhere else too. Sounds really great; pricing is quite fair. This is the kind of service we need nowadays - where some software i can self-host, and others i can pay someone (like pikapods) to manage
