 artectrex | Now that the magisk dev has been hired, I hope he will not go to the dark side and help them break magisk hide :P | 10:16:46 |
 GNUtoo | As I understand, Magisk is the only maintained solution to enable users to get root without adb, right? | 10:21:38 |

 _hc | cdesai: jochensp izzy linsui proletarius101 FestplattenSchnitzel uniq Sylvia Mathijs LjL and anyone else interested: weekly meeting day, with text here in this room, and voice/video in https://meet.keanu.im/fdroid | 11:32:05 |
| _hc | I mentioned the freenode drama, some of us proposed that switching to OFTC makes the most sense since Debian uses OFTC and indeed kind of runs OFTC | 11:39:42 |
 jochensp | I'm traveling, so only text. +1 for oftc | 11:40:47 |
 cdesai | having used OFTC from the IRC side since the last many years, the Matrix integration isn't as reliable as it is here with freenode | 11:43:42 |
| jochensp | cdesai: I haven't seen complains about the Matrix bridge, do you have something specific in mind? | 11:46:17 |
| cdesai | jochensp: there used to be messages being dropped so irc wouldn't see messages, but it's been a while since that | 11:46:50 |
| cdesai | the other issue is people having the Guest* usernames at times making it confusing, but that's maybe more with the setup. | 11:47:13 |
| jochensp | Ha, I see both of that on freenode as well | 11:47:36 |
| _hc | you shuld be able to see the account name of Guest* accounts | 11:50:15 |
| _hc | to see the "real" account | 11:50:22 |
| cdesai | _hc: usually I just guess by opening PMs or what they're saying :p | 11:50:44 |
 proletarius101 | Actually matrix bridges have a Bridgebot-style setting, which could be set as pretending to be a real matrix-native account | 11:51:19 |
| @freenode_djBRDF:matrix.org left the room. | 11:51:52 |
| proletarius101 | Any difference of OFTC or librechat? | 11:52:29 |
| proletarius101 | I guess IRC doesn't preserve chat history by default? | 11:54:08 |
| proletarius101 | not sure how freenode deal with it | 11:54:22 |
| @freenode_djBRDF:matrix.org joined the room. | 11:54:32 |
| cdesai | proletarius101: yep, no history | 11:55:05 |
 @SylvieLorxu:matrix.org | F-Droid has some bot that keeps history, needs migrating too I guess | 11:55:17 |
| cdesai | Sylvia: does it? the topic seems to suggest it's just logged via matrix | 11:55:46 |
| @SylvieLorxu:matrix.org | Oh interesting yeah | 11:56:21 |
| proletarius101 |
When a Matrix room is bridged to IRC, all users (by default) on the Matrix side will be provided with a connection to the room and will show up in the user list on IRC. The IRC users will also appear as "ghosts" on the Matrix side, bearing a Matrix ID like @irc_alice:matrix.org. This allows a "native" feeling so that users do not have to worry about the complexities of the protocols.
However as with all bridges, the native feeling can catch IRC or Matrix users unaware when things do not bridge well (such as replies/threading or reactions).

| cdesai | FYI for matrix spaces you have to opt into the beta from settings on element | 11:58:36 |
