I haven’t heard of v3, I’ll have to check it out.

Depending on the group using it, you can apply for a Community plan to enable mobile push notifications. I do wish Zulip would use UnifiedPush or something like that, or even allow your own ntfy setup, but I’m placated by the Community plan.

Zulip paywalls mobile notifications, but you can apply for a Community subscription which is free, and includes mobile notifications.

IRC is too difficult for normal people to figure out. Normals don’t know how to /join, /nick, and all that other stuff. People want a username and password, because that’s a standard thing that everyone knows.

Even Matrix is too complicated for most people.

IRC serves a purpose, but judging by the success of Discord there’s obviously something lacking from IRC.

Yeah… I hesitated to hit “submit”, but figured the courts would rule in our favor because courts have a good sense of humor!

They are also very noisy, so a basement location might not be enough to suppress the humming and yelling from reaching your living areas.

I guess I see your point, but at the same time I don’t.

Tiny yes, but IMO getting the attention of computer gamers needs to be the next step if a Linux flavor is going to become a household name.

Even if it’s “SteamOS” that becomes the household name instead of “Linux” that’s still good overall. Maybe it’ll turn into how people used to say they had “Droid” smartphones, not Android.

Any good alternatives? Sonicair toothbrushes are simply excellent. I only brush once a day because I’m lazy, and my hygienist compliments the lack of plaque and how good my gums are.

I disassembled my old one after it broke when I dropped it. I used the hammer method and was able to put it back together. Newer models are different, so no guarantee.
