Where I live a one bedroom apartment starts at half a million dollars. A house is well past one and a half million USD. Guess I’m failing at step one: have an extra house.

I’ve been using Konsole since switching to Linux with the KDE 4.0 release. Never felt the need to switch.

Only thing I wish it supported is Tmux control mode.

USB C didn’t exist, but it was being developed, and apple was on the USB-IF forum which developed it. So literally part of apple was developing USB-C while another part decided “nah, we will make our own” and of course it takes less time to make your own than to make something everyone agrees on.

Having written some XMPP code in xmpprs, I can assure you, XMPP is not the best.

With the bridges to other networks, you can pretty much talk to everyone from inside Matrix regardless of what they use.

Then again, the DMA should kick in next year, at that point big players like iMessage, Whatsapp and whoever else counts as big (so probably not Google Chat) will have to allow interoperability between everyone. So they are going to be forced to allow you to somehow massage someone from Whatsapp through Matrix and group chat with people in Instagram and Signal all at once. Matrix has been suggested as the backbone for this interpretability.

Isn’t Matrix the preferred instant messaging protocol for fediverse users?

For the same reason that I don’t use Reddit as a link aggregator.

Sorry, you need hardware.

If you are doing a ton of encoding, you could even get specialized hardware like amd alevo (spelling?) card which enables you to encode even AV1.

That being said, what are you doing that requires you to encode h.265 on ancient hardware?
