| OvenWerks | you may need to keep an unactive one tied up... that sounded like a threat | 18:06 |
|---|---|---|
| Eickmeyer | OvenWerks: It's not really possible, but I did it anyways just in case. | 18:10 |
| OvenWerks | Eickmeyer: re:telegram/matrix, etc. I am not sure how they are viewed as better than IRC. What do they offer? do they have backscroll even when not online? | 18:26 |
| * OvenWerks thinks that would just be a webpage addition to IRC. | 18:27 | |
| Eickmeyer | So, Telegram and Matrix are always connected and can simply bridge to IRC. Matrix's bridge is more robust. | 18:28 |
| Eickmeyer | Telegram is more like an instant messenger, Matrix is a whole chat protocol. | 18:29 |
| OvenWerks | so backscroll during offline time | 18:29 |
| Eickmeyer | Yes. | 18:29 |
| Eickmeyer | That, and you can actually post images (screenshots, etc). directly to the chat. | 18:29 |
| Eickmeyer | No need to go through imgur or something else. | 18:29 |
| Eickmeyer | Same with video, if needed. | 18:30 |
| Eickmeyer | Audio too, as a matter of fact. | 18:30 |
| OvenWerks | ok. sort of makes sense I guess | 18:30 |
| Eickmeyer | I prefer Matrix to Telegram, especially since the bridge is more robust. | 18:30 |
| OvenWerks | to be honest, I would not liked being pinged via either audio or video (assuming that is live) | 18:31 |
| Eickmeyer | No, it just posts as a message that you'd have to click on to see/hear. | 18:31 |
| Eickmeyer | It's not like people can just call you. | 18:32 |
| Eickmeyer | Well, they can, but that doesn't happen. | 18:33 |
| Eickmeyer | Like, eylul[m] asks before she calls me. | 18:33 |
| OvenWerks | from a support pov, some of the people who come to IRC seem like they would just expect to make a call to you if they didn't get an answer fast enough | 18:35 |
| Eickmeyer | Heh, if they do, 1) decline, 2) block, 3) ban. | 18:35 |
| Eickmeyer | Have yet to see anyone on Matrix attempt to call me. | 18:36 |
| OvenWerks | I know I ignore PMs and only answer comments in the channel | 18:36 |
| Eickmeyer | Also, Matrix forces people to register before joining a channel. | 18:37 |
| Eickmeyer | Cuts down on spam. | 18:37 |
| eylul[m] | @eickmeyer Ovenwerks it is usually a good idea to poke before calling someone, or.. well, there is also the issue of giving people time to setup their headsets etc | 22:32 |
| eylul[m] | :) | 22:32 |
| Eickmeyer | Yep. | 22:32 |
| eylul[m] | also I believe you can limit private calls, or even DMs to only people in your friends list | 22:32 |
| eylul[m] | anyhow I am heading to sleep, dropped in because I saw my name | 22:33 |
| eylul[m] | gnight. | 22:33 |
| Eickmeyer | Good night! | 22:34 |
