@hafnia@weirder.earth @twistylittlepassages i think the intention is an encrypted & modernized version of IRC?
@hafnia@weirder.earth @twistylittlepassages idk i like it fine, i use it to send people cat photos mostly so i dont worry about the details too much
@twistylittlepassages @Satsuma @hafnia I use the web client on desktop, works fine unless you have encrypted chats
@twistylittlepassages @Satsuma @hafnia Then it still works but it's a pain in the ass
@twistylittlepassages @Satsuma @hafnia And if you are a Linux user it will bug you to install the client, which is a browser in an Element app
@twistylittlepassages Only if you list your specific distro and why everyone should use that one.
@emacsomancer @pagrus @Satsuma @hafnia I'll tell everyone I use Ubuntu, so they'll know I'm really cool 😎
@twistylittlepassages @emacsomancer @Satsuma @hafnia Sorry i have now reached my quota for fedverse Linux discussion for the month
@emacsomancer @twistylittlepassages @Satsuma @hafnia I mean don't most people just list the distro and assume that its merits are self evident?
@twistylittlepassages @Satsuma @hafnia Which will... bug you to install the client?
@Satsuma @hafnia I got a 404 when I tried to install element, so let's see if the web app will play nice with this old laptop and crappy connection
