Bots can't attend a parade in person

I'm in this picture and I don't like it

Congrats on being part of the last generation with the ability to retire. Enjoy it for the rest of us

Do as I say, not as I do

graphene is a fork of stock android, so wouldn't this affect them?

Don't threaten me with a good time

"Despite" may not be the best word; adding AI into iOS is the main reason I bought a Google Pixel instead of a new iPhone (need a Pixel to run GrapheneOS)

absolute legend

I could really go for some bone hurting juice; my bones haven't been hurting enough lately

Bless you for providing a link; I can't tell you howany times I've seen this advice without any link or instructions on how to locate these

self-hosting matrix is possible, and after I got it set up, it works fine. That said, push notifications were acting up a lot at first (might have been fixed by an update since that hasn't been an issue in a while), and it is rather annoying to get your desktop and mobile clients set up to not be annoying about not being verified (iOS apps seem more fiddly with verifying than Android apps in my experience)

Despite my annoyances at first, the Element client really is the best and most mature one out there, and I do recommend it. Don't bother with any of the other ones; despite what the fluffychat settings want you to think, Element is the only client that can do any kind of audio/video calling, and most of the other clients only have web apps, so there's no hope for getting push notifications on mobile.

Ultimately it has worked for me, but my demands are three humans in a voice call once a week, no screenshare (use Parsec for that), and occasional text messages.

Spacebar looks great, and is exactly what I want, but it doesn't look close to production ready yet
