@unfa How? What is exact address of this room? What do I tell the client to join it?

@revkellyn We do have our choice of apps. Tusky, Fedilab, Twidere, Amaroq just to name a few.

@liaizon @bamfic @aral

@unfa Uhhh... Is this necessary? I have a Matrix account, why should I register?

How do I just join the room?

Отвратительное состояние, когда сил нет даже для того, чтобы позлиться.

Повредил отверткой 40-мм кулер от Noctua.

Еще одна тысяча рублей в трубу.

@rf @Cryoclaire О, привет. Не ожидал, что заглянешь.

@c0der Скриншот-тред го!

@djenderesensjuelist That's not what I'm talking about.

Nobody is gonna replace E-mail, not with Scuttlebutt that's for sure. p2p is very bad at saving persistent data that needs to be accessed and mutated from multiple endpoints which is what E-mail and modern IM is all about. And not for the lack of trying, really.

And considering that, E-mail is fine (yes, in technical terms it's a piece of shit insecure legacy crutch show protocol which I hate, but hey, it works). We just need to find a way to hide complexity of it while not deliberately breaking its decentralized nature with assigned defaults.

@alisa @vanyok тепло.

@vanyok Ну, а я и не требую ответ именно от тебя, но ты на правильном пути.

@vanyok Тепло.

@vanyok Нет.

@vanyok Так делается для сравнения размера. Некоторые монету кладут. Но батарейки универсальнее.

@eukara @grainloom If they are redesigning Xen chapter completely, I certainly wish that they'd make Nihilanth into incomprehensible Lovecraftian eldritch cosmic horror entity it's supposed to be.

@vanyok Нет, но ты на правильном пути.

@eukara @grainloom Their approach is both expected and intriguing at the same time.

The original HL wasn't supposed to be as grand as it cropped up in the end. Just from the tone, you are not supposed to take it very seriously - like, ha-ha, you are working in some ridiculously large and complex secret research facility who-knows-where, with freaking laser beams, egghead scientists looking at exposed spectrometer rays and donut cop type security guards. Ha-ha, you set a spectrometer wrong and suddenly the monsters start hopping on scientists egg-shaped heads turning them into zombies.

But then Valve team looked at it and thought "wow, we actually have a really deep and intricate and serious 'verse on offer. Let's do something with it", and made HL2 - which was far more serious in tone.

And then Crowbar Collective comes in and makes the original game into a very mature and veritable science horror film type story, retroactively baking in the pieces of canon introduced in the sequel.
