Yesterday I read an interesting piece about modern chat #UX improvement. That usually is no topic I follow but I thought about modern chatting and messaging a lot lately, because its so annoying.
Accepting, that there might be no solution that deals great with both main use cases, helps me being more optimistic.
Here is the link about the #matrix client #fractal and their recent ideas https://blogs.gnome.org/tbernard/2018/05/16/banquets-and-barbecues/
#Gnome is about to split #Fractal into two different apps.
It really makes sense to me, because I saw the same problem and decided to go for #Signal & #Matrix instead of two clients for Matrix.
There are more reasons that come into play, but that was definitely one of them.

Any podcasts that should be essential?
I'm sitting in the library and someone is using more bandwidth than their fair share so I gotta work with 200 KiB/s. Maybe that's an opportunity to think more about each step I take and if I really need to load that image, almost like back in the days.

German media is so phony:
Guardian: '#Israel retaliates after Iran 'fires 20 rockets' at army in occupied Golan Heights'
Almost every German outlet: 'Israel attacks dozen (Iranian) sites in Syria' 🤔
Been shopping for new plants to start growing vegetables this year. I couldn't resist to buy those bell peppers called "Redskin"!

Are there any regulations on offensive domain names?
I just found one obviously offensive one (see pic) for auction and was wondering if they just don't care and how it got registered in the first place.
Matrix developers have confirmed that a secure chat app developed by French government will be based on the Riot client.

After some material issues I finally rode my racer bike again today. 23°C, sunshine, riding through villages and farms feels so good.
My new job's laptops is about to arrive this week and I'm excited. It took them about two months to push that order through internal bureaucracy, because I did choose a new Thinkpad when they were released and no supply partner had them in stock.
I get it, especially in IT service management, you don't want folks to do what they want so everything stays manageable. But it's crazy how much effort and time it burns when breaking out those regulations is necessary once.
Twitter is always down if you want it to be.
