  • I think the point they're making is you can effectively have a self hosted non federated option with Matrix. Just disable federation as a whole (which I'm pretty sure is completely possible. Given companies use matrix for comms, and might not want federation, for similar reasons to what is being discussed here)

  • Why would it make sense? Currently on Android, RCS isn't a system level thing like SMS is. So Signal won't easily be able to pull it in. Unless they implement their own implementation of RCS and the Universal Profile.

  • I have sympathy... I have size 17 4E. From 12-17 my age was my shoe size. I stopped being able to get shoes in store for the most part at 13

    Edit: I have had the best luck recently buying shoes here https://bigshoes.com/

    Last year I found Nikes my size. Then they immediately went out of stock after I got them. This year the next version was available when I just happened to check the site. I bought two pairs and another pair of more dressy casual shoes

  • Tbf, I am not a grey beard chief engineer, and I strongly prefer VHDL for design. For verification I actually really like SystemVerilog.

    VHDL is strongly types, which prevents a lot of issues with types that I've hit with [System]Verilog.

    Also, having learned VHDL first, I think it is easier to go from VHDL to Verilog, as opposed to vice versa. And this is mainly because VHDL is stricter.

  • Quick question, what would federation provide? How would they have anything to do with a search engine?

    Do you mean just not centralized/run by big tech? If so, that wouldn't necessarily be "federated", but just self hostable. That way you can host it yourself, if you have the know how/equipment, or you can access someone else's hosted version (probably for a price).

  • While I'm all for having local services like search engines. I don't think we need more "messaging platform" services. At least not new complete platforms. I'd argue something like a Canadian popularized Matrix host or something.

    Full disclosure, I'm American but fully support not depending on us. We fucking suck.

  • All of the models ship with various options for OS:

    • None
    • Fedora, Mint, or a couple other Linux distros
    • W11

    So given they all list a few different distros as an official option, and each product page has a Linux tab, I think it's a safe bet
