I honestly don’t like Gwent. Maybe never got into it enough.

I just poked on the demo and I think it could, however it might be a bit clunky. Maybe could be a viable thing to request of the dev. Maybe alongside a donation for a sort of bounty.

For the android users, just gonna put this here

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)

My bad. I thought I saw that they ship with them now. I haven’t really looked at the configurator since I got mine in 2021.

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

Tbf, my building also uses an app for laundry. However they also have a machine in the laundry rooms where you can purchase an NFC payment card and put money on it. So you can use it without the app. Is that not the case with yours? If not, that’s 100% fucked

Off topic: how do you like simplex. I have heard of it, but you’re the first I’ve encountered who used it.

Matrix is a new-ish decentralized, private, E2EE encryption protocol. It’s pretty neat. It still has some issues (at least that I experience. Mainly the Android app is constantly being super slow to receive messages), but it’s super promising.

They also have some goals to improve email infrastructure by integrating the matrix protocol, but not sure if that will go anywhere. I remember reading this off hand remark on their blog. Can’t find the source.

As the original comment said, there’s the concept ifa “bridge” which allows you to bridge other services to a matrix chat. So you could have a discord channel and matrix room bridged, as an example. A ready to go option with bridges is Beeper. But you can also setup your own stuff, as they said.

It’s Dr Toilet! Finally!
