Agreed that QR codes should be accompanied by text links for accessibility, because many times the scanning fails due to bad light, old camera or shaky hands.

I was very excited when I started seeing QR codes gaining popularity. That excitement was quickly shattered when everyone just started using them improperly and they just made everything more annoying 😮‍💨

I made an NFC/QR code card for my wifi details at home, and that also includes the details written in clear text on the card, since some devices simply don't do QR (or NFC in my case).

It is!

Yeah, I see your point, and I included the link in the alt text. On the actual design itself though, any URL I wrote in could be completely different from the QR so it seems slightly pointless - especially as it would just be writing Continuwuity a third time haha

That sort of telemetry should be opt in, not opt out

phones home by default to fetch its news and feed it to the admin

What is that and why is it bad?

you may want to turn that off before booting first time

How do you do that?

What do weaboos have to do with Egyptian gods?

At first I uwunderstood your comment as a joke, but apparently Tuwunel does in fact exist and it's a continuation of Conduwuit.

use of UwU in something I absolutely need to share with others

It's purely a backend, what's under the hood is not really visible to matrix clients.

Edit: Though I wish this graphic communicated that more, just realized it doesn't even say anything about [matrix].

Everything there (aside from perhaps not printing the full URL under the QR code) is deliberate and a part of the 'brand'. Roboto + Sour Gummy for the fonts, asymmetry, whimsy. If you don't like it, I'm sure you can use Element's Synapse and you'll be able to talk to people using Continuwuity just fine. That's kind of the point.

the only valid complain is "no human readable data next to the QR code"

The project is the "official community continuation of the conduwuit homeserver". Conduwuit was a popular matrix backend until the project was archived.

Although interestingly, conduwuit says the official continuation is Tuwunel. interesting

stop? 👉👈 🥺 why UwU? me do wrong?

Those who would be off put by the UwU are not those I wish to talk to :3

UwU. The cuteness is a huge plus IMO.

Ow weewy, giv it a west! :3

I like it. It's nostalgic, in a 90s sort of way 😂

Voilà

truer ones use aztec

Your users won't ever see the name.

It's a spiritual successor to conduwuit, the name checks out imo.

Feel free to use Synapse, og conduit or whatever floats your boat.

Myeah but it’s just a server - the clients just use Matrix.

I love it

It's not really designed to be a Discord replacement. It's a messaging app/protocol that can do voice/video calls. Discord is a passive state voice / video / text channel app that was designed to create spaces for different topics. Matrix has added a similar hierarchical feature as an option, but its not the same and I don't think it was meant to be.

Ive been keeping an eye on Movim for a discord alternative, I think spaces got added recently.

It's not matrix-based, but: Haven. It's what I setup the... second? third? time discord had burned their users. The only thing missing for me is Xbox support, as several of my social circle are console gamers. But for pc users, it's got everything I need.

Bingpot! Features trump objections, which is how any industry knows it doesn't really have to listen to users all that much. Deep down, addicts really don't care if their heroin is ethically sourced from sustainably managed small-lot producers.

I was under the impression that they preferred to be referred to as 'skinnies'. We are all flesh, after all... well except protogen...
