Where is this? Outside of HOA nonsense, I thought property ownership died as a requirement in the 1800's.

I guess the slightly less doxx-y question is: what states still allow that crap?

Should be easy to differentiate. 2016 was the Touchbar year, born from macOS' continued toxic relationship with keyboard shortcuts.

In my experience, 2016 also marked when MBP keyboards got extraordinarily painful as the key travel is like 0.5mm and it felt like typing on a glass plate.

I can't be the only one waiting to see more "real people" reviews of production units before plunking down money. I don't upgrade laptops frequently and I don't want to buy something buggy (i.e. Linux compatibility for wifi, ACPI, battery life, etc).

And while I'm waiting, I haven't looked into a good answer to the USB-C dock story for the AMD versions. I see a lot of ambiguous statements about USB4 "being Thunderbolt" but not a lot of concrete statements on compatibility and capability.

I think a "better... for me" is sufficient. Input devices are so personal, almost every statement about them should end in "for me".

Track points are so much better... for me.

Macbook touchpads are obviously superior... for me.

Mechanical keyboards have such a better tactile feel... for me.

Ad nausem for trackballs, Bluetooth devices, wired devices, in-ear/over-ear/open/closed headphones.

Wasn't 2016 the prime self-destructing keyboard year? How is that thing still working?

Like putting "null" as your license plate except Humana are reading this, not computers. Clever but not effective.

We're subsidizing your Internet, power, and most other infrastructure and public services that cost too much at rural densities.

Not sure how you can idolize Nazi Germany without being a Nazi. As for the rest, any good faith attempt in debate will be met with skepticism at best. The Rights propaganda machine is too strong.

Maybe also write the op's title so if they fix it later, people aren't confused.

That link says nothing of the sort! It actually says that Matrix is a strong choice for privacy and the underlying protocol follows best practices for security.

What are these security concerns you're talking about?

Matrix is the protocol.

Synapse is the server software.

Element (among others) is the client software.

Bridges (WhatsApp, Signal, Google Chat, etc) are extra servers that run next to the main server. Generally text only. Any Matrix client should be able to make use of a bridge. Bridges appear as "bots" in your Matrix contact list. Contacts from other services appear as "$name ($service)" and work as you would expect of a chat.

You should know that Bridging breaks end-to-end encryption as the Bridge has the decryption key and Bridges work by "impersonating" you on the other chat service. Don't use a Bridge you don't trust. Beeper is a paid/commercial hosted Matrix service with pre-configured bridges for you, including iMessage (which Apple makes painfully difficult to bridge because Apple).

Bike commuting (year round), Arlington -> Kendall. It's about 30 minutes down Mass Ave and Hampshire.
