Is this really a surprise? Do we expect the FBI to not use phones or computers?

When we use at&t's phone lines or Microsoft's operating system, we are implicitly relying on them to be secure. Same would go for using linux or a secure communication app running on top of it. I think most people would rather the FBI be spending time investigating crimes than developing software.

This, but then after you can do this solidly start halving the click tempo while still playing at the same speed so you get 1 click per 2 beats, bar, 2 bars, 4 bars etc.

Benny Greb (well regarded German drummer with a lot of instructional content) has a free metronome app for this purpose called Gap click that may be helpful, he argues for this as an essential exercise in developing your internal sense of time.

This is basically my view as a Fedora user.

 

I have some communities I am subscribed to that are automated, and consequently become very spammy in the home feed, but I still want to view and engage with their content. It would be nice if there was a "mute" feature distinct from blocking that would allow hiding posts in a a community from the home feed but still allowing subscribing, since blocking unsubscribes you.

I've never used Matrix, and I'm overwhelmed at all the options and feature criteria on the project website.

I'd prefer a native app over electron/similar, but ideally would like something that works on most desktop platforms (windows, mac, linux), although I'm open to it if it is truly superior.
