There is at least one smbc for everything

If they put as much money into these foss projects as they where giving microsoft before, maybe Libreoffice will become halfway decent.

I use Libreoffice and it’s fine for a non-power user, but it sure has some rough edges

I coincidentally saw the only stuffed specimen of this species last weekend and I didn’t even realise it was special, because it was just standing between the other animals without a sign saying it was thought extinct or anything.

Yeah I guess, but because it’s so linear all the discussions are running through each other and messy. So if someone asked a question I’m interested in I then have to read a whole lot of messages to see if maybe someone said something relevant about it.

Also, the messages are not indexed by search engines, which has its advantages, but for a tech/ support channel it doesn’t make much sense.

Can someone explain to me why some communities do their communication using something like Matrix? I’m a member of some open source/ tech channels on Matrix that I am somewhat interested in or need suppport from. Every time I check my app I have line 1k unread messages. Like, does anyone have the time to read all that? Besides trying to find if a question I have has already been answered is pretty cumbersome.

That doesn’t mean I don’t think Matrix is great, but it just doesn’t seem like the best fit for that application
