WizzupI'm thinking that we need to get some maemo leste user channel that's bridged to various things13:00
Wizzupnot this one mind you13:00
Wizzupxmpp/matrix/irc/mattermost13:00
Wizzupjust so that it's easier / more accepting for new users13:01
Wizzupwe'd keep this of course13:01
siceloi think bridging is fine. but not additional channel, until such point that there's really a lot of traffic to justify it13:13
Wizzupsicelo: hmmm ok13:22
Wizzupsicelo: we could set up some matterhost and use it's bridging stuff13:39
Wizzupits*13:39
Wizzupsicelo: but also for more ... persistence when we have new people, I guess13:41
Wizzuplike people ask a question but then time out, and they never get an answer13:41
Wizzupthat's partially because they are not used to irc13:41
sicelomatrix already has bridge to irc/libera, so i guess matrix users won't have a problem. maybe in wiki we could explain how they could connect to irc using matrix13:44
Wizzupif matrix is what you think most people use13:44
WizzupI thought some public mattermost might also help13:44
siceloxmpp users will most definitely know how to use irc, i'd guess :-)13:44
siceloi just briefly checked mattermost ... seems fine, but i wonder if it's not another thing to be maintained, etc. with perhaps little gain13:46
Wizzupsicelo: I guess what it offers is public channel backlog and easier to upload pictures of bugs etc13:47
Wizzupthat's why I said maybe we make some users channel there, not bridged to here13:47
Wizzupnot sure13:47
siceloi understand. i was also just adding my two cents. i don't really know what's the best way forward.13:48
Wizzuplet's discuss a bit and think about it some :)13:48
sicelobut matrix is really popular nowadays, and seems to be a reasonable choice in general13:48
WizzupI need to go out now and we're not in a rush13:48
Wizzupbut making it more friendly to new people would be good13:48
norayrFolks i dont know what changed but using an onscreen kbd is not possible anymore14:35
norayrEnter doesnt work with both keyboard that is triggered by tapping an input field and by keyboard triggered by search button.14:36
norayrOn pp i switched to pmos - no way to type without hwkbd and hwkbd is too heavy to always carry and use14:37
norayrI want but i just cannot use onscreen14:37
norayrWithout having a hardware enter key14:38
norayrBoth in dino and pidgin14:38
norayrI am sorry this is not a rant at all, i want to draw your attention since it is the essential feature14:38
norayrIts not possible to use a device without typing14:39
norayrOn bridges - i am using xmpp to irc bridge now14:40
Wizzupyes, but that bridge is something you run14:42
Wizzupwe won't ask every new user to run their own14:42
Wizzupre: input, file a bug I suppose14:42
WizzupI'm not excited to put in a lot of time to support dino/pidgin better, I will put my energy in conversations14:43
Wizzupwhen it's usable, I might look at it14:43
Wizzupbut others might have time/energy14:43
norayrWizzup, i'll file a bug, i would like to stress again that is NOT about oidgin or dino, that is about EVERY gkt program. That is keyboard problem, not the programs' fault.16:59
Wizzupbut I do not have these problems in gtk2 or gtk317:14
Wizzupso best to file a bug17:14
buZzdid anyone notice receiving SMS sometimes makes the same SMS arrive endless many times? :)18:26
buZzmaybe i should just distupgrade to chimaera18:27
WizzupbuZz: I noticed this on non-leste phones18:33
Wizzupseemed like a carrier problem18:33
buZzi'm not sure, its something i often hit18:34
buZzbut if i receive the SMS -straight- after bootup, it never comes 'many times'18:34
buZz¯\_(ツ)_/¯18:34
buZzits not a big issue i guess, was kinda wondering if the SMS have some unique ID so we can filter them away18:35
