Perfect!  Yes, this definitely deserved an article

Looks great! 

@Duplode - In my case, I don't have much hesitation. Although I do use Telegram generally and I have many contacts there, I see the importance of having something we have more control on, that's more private, etc., so I am very willing to use Element as well. Only thing I remember I didn't like was that it would as you to solve a Google reCAPTCHA, which kills all the privacy. There must be a way around that.

@dreadnaut - Indeed, it'd be nice to have an upgrade on the chat. Would it be possible for it to somehow integrate with Matrix so that we would have both the option of using a client or just log in via web or is it too complicated?

@Spoonboy - I was able to log in via web. Thanks!  I'll add it to Pidgin too

Wow... it's curious how the second image, before clicking on it, doesn't look at all like a QR code. Once it's resized, the browser does show a QR code.

You are looking at a JPEG thumbnail of a transparent PNG, which gains a 'undefined' black background and heavy compression artifacts.

Ah!!  Yes, that makes sense. Really weird!

Not sure about our own IRC. I would like the current Stunts chat to be compatible with IRC so that one could use it either via web or a client. But I think that having features similar to those of Telegram is important because that's what making the group attract members.

How do I get to #dosgameclub IRC?  I have Pidgin installed and I can use IRC

I agree that this is an important topic to discuss and bring our ideas to. I don't have a single position in this. Each platform has its advantages and it's good to have more than one. There are a few that I wouldn't join... for example, I don't use Meta platforms because of many reasons. The fact that I started the Telegram group might make you think that's my preferred one, but that's not the case. Of the ones we have, the platform I love the most is this forum because it's ours and like you say, we have full control of it. Telegram has many flaws, it's super commercial and bad for privacy (though not as bad as WhatsApp, for instance), but it brings some advantages that are a good complement for the forum. If I could choose, I would prefer to represent this complement with something like Element, but since more people are hesitant to adopt it than Telegram (accusative mode), I feel compelled to go for that one. Even better than that would be for me if our own "sovereign" chat were as powerful and multi-platform.

I'm open to contributing the best I can to try any new ideas you guys propose as long as they enhance our ownership and freedom of communication and to do my best in keeping them active and facilitate things for newcomers. Count on me.

Ha, ha... yes!  It was a great race

Wow... it's curious how the second image, before clicking on it, doesn't look at all like a QR code. Once it's resized, the browser does show a QR code. I can't test them because I don't use smartphone apps, but it looks very valid!

Looks good! 

The current month's race at R4K has a small illusion element. You may want to take a look
