| Hey Hunter,
|
| I wandered around matrix.org, and it’s pretty confusing as to what it
| actually does. Would you mind providing some links that give a good
| high level summary of what this Matrix thing is? What it provides (is
| it some variant of forum software?)? What a person would need to do to
| be able to use it?
|
| And how you envision it being able to replace the TDE mailing lists? (<=
| I’m assuming that’s what you’re meaning.)
|
| Case in point, this https://matrix.org/docs/guides/introduction might be
| good for a hardcore geek, but to the average Joe Linux user it’s mostly
| gobbledygook.
|
| Thanks,
| Michael
I was in a Matrix room a few years ago, in connection with getting Linux
working usably on the Planet Gemini (which it now more or less does), but
quit when they changed to an extremely predatory privacy policy.
I do not know the extent to which that would trouble others here, but it
kills the deal for me. Which is too bad, because there's a decent Matrix
client.
