Zulip does. It's as easy as discord, if not better!

I looked into Zulip a couple years ago and they didn't support this. Have they implemented OAuth2 or something since then? Specifically being able to log in once and be able to jump between any number of self hosted servers.

Sorry, I'm not sure. Please reach out to their dev team at https://chat.zulip.org

Not alone. We started with Matrix, but we are very happy with Zulip now.

It was great until Sea snail appeared in inches. Transitioning from micrometer/milliliter to inches is pretty rough


For me it appears in millimetres, but I'm in Canada not the US. I'm guessing the default is chosen based on your browser's language. You can change the units in the top right.

Edit: I checked the page's code and it does indeed set the units based on language. If your language is "en-US" you get imperial by default, everyone else gets metric.


Unfortunate to see this project in passive maintenance! Hope the get the required funding/human power.


How worse can this get? Let's share more product ideas for Microsoft.


CoPilot for BIOS

Integrated CoPilot chip, mandatory to install Windows

CoPilot for mouse movements. Just ask where you want to move your mouse next, agent does the job.

CoPilot which will entertain you while windows updates are installing

CoPilot-assistant to install Chrome browser

CoPilot for windows registry

Master-CoPilot to control all other copilots

CoPilot which will play games and watch movies instead of you, then give you 5-minute summaries to save your time


Cracked me up good, thank you


Right, I always wanted a career in hell:

1. I think it should be mandatory to have your webcam and microphone on 24/7 for, uh, your safety, especially your children's safety (you never know when a pedophile will hide under your bed!). physical workarounds or disabling them is a TOS violation and will turn your machine off and unable to start again until hardware is restored (again, for your safety). Of course you also agree that all data collected this way can be used to enhance your experience with the help of our partners.

2. You need to watch 30s of an ad before you can login, youtube style. This is to get you in a good mood for the day, because it will only be products we determined you like!

3. Disable customisation: Your UI and desktop background will take the color of today's sponsor, including a small logo in every window's frame next to the close button. Window frame will increase over the years until we can show full video ads in it.

4. We will read through all your private files and sends them unencrypted to our servers. (this is for better speed! High speed is essential for this) AI will then analyse your files and write you recommendations, especially what you could buy to enhance or alleviate your current experience. Also you get clippy back, this time on the desktop, and it is a TOS violation to disable it.

5. Offers to buy items should always be accompanied by an instant-spending [buy] button, but rejecting and closing the offer requires you to type "Sorry, I don't want to buy this right now, can you please ask me for this same product again tomorrow?". This is the only way. Any typo is agreement to buy the product, because you are clearly not fully against it?

6. Because of the added online security for your personal files, you now have to pay a subscription of just $49.99/month or your device will irrecoverably encrypt all your data to keep it safe. (This update will come at a later time when you have created enough files worth protecting)

7. That Office splash screen sure takes a lot of time and is basically a lot of open white space. Better use that for more Enhanced Experiences.

8. Each login costs you 99 Windows Points, ad-free experience costs you 399 for a month. we sell you packages of 380 wp for $3.99, 800 wp for $9.99, 2000 wp for $29.99, 12,000 wp for $249.99 and our Never Worry Again Package with 50,000 wp for just $4999.99! (yes I did the math) Automatic Updates (during work ours only) require you to login again, obviously. Minor patches will somehow become more popular. For Security, your children, emotional stability, the environment, and affirmation of your identity. We are here for you!

Ok break is over, back to work.


9. alt+tab (TM) as subscription

10. "app slots" -you can only have n apps installed, you have to pay for upgrades to have more

11. mandatory windows store, no side-loading, no .exe

12. Edge experience tiers: Websites are grouped into bundles and you can only visit websites in the tier you pay for


Awesome! Now they will try to hire you, as SVP of Customer Exploitation.


I don't mind as long as I can make calls from the app. The call feature isn't available on Linux/Web app unfortunately.


Southeast Asian scammers - they could've directly said from India/Pakistan.


Nothing comes close to Asciidoc(tor) for a complete documentation suite.


I used Firefox focus on Android until last month. It drained the battery far quicker than Brave. Brave has been nice on the battery so far.


Brave is hands down the best ad blocking experience on iOS as well.


kagi with ublock origin extension is just as good


Orion was my daily driver on iOS/macOS for a fair bit ~8 months ago. It wasn’t the most stable and didn’t block ads reliably in YouTube videos either. Planning to give it another shot next year. I certainly like the Kagi ethos better than Brave - the product functionality just wasn’t there yet.


I have youtube premium so I guess I hadn't noticed. it seems perfectly stable and usable to me though so maybe you're more of a power user than me. I do most of my browser on a laptop to be honest


I also use Brave on Android. The performance is better based on my use cases. I hardly see ads.


I think it doesn't background tabs at all. I noticed that the battery got considerably better if I actively always closed all my tabs.


Firefox focus is not real Firefox. I think it is just a chromium wrapper.


it uses the gecko engine, what are you talking about?


Ah, I am way way out of date, sorry! It switched to Gecko back in 2018. Turns out I had tried it out a very long time ago.

It's real Firefox, just not the complete Firefox browser (with extensions and all that) mentioned on this post.


you said it used blink/chromium engine, just correcting that is all.
