Thanks, @MichaelTunnell - excellent show, as usual! Mmm, very exciting new Plasma release. I think Debian 11 will be only slightly behind when they release in hopefully not too many months now!
I did notice some of the conversation about someone impersonating you in the Matrix chat. I do enjoy Element but still would like to see it become a bit more user-friendly. Maybe a project worth looking at the code for at some date. I am strongly in support of Matrix as a protocol, especially after some of the recent news about irc, which I’m not sure if there’s been any resolution to.
