Ooh, bait, on a sunday afternoon with nothing better to do. I'll bite. Matrix is not even 4 years old. IRC has been good around for just over 3 decades. Many here have been using it for more than 2 already. Yes, 2 decades. 20 years. Chat/IM protocols come and go, IRC remains. After this, someone will come along to suggest that we should all switch to whatsapp. Luc Verhaegen. -- coreboot mailing list: [email protected] https://mail.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot
