Tbf, my building also uses an app for laundry. However they also have a machine in the laundry rooms where you can purchase an NFC payment card and put money on it. So you can use it without the app. Is that not the case with yours? If not, that’s 100% fucked

Off topic: how do you like simplex. I have heard of it, but you’re the first I’ve encountered who used it.

Cool, thanks for sharing those. The cam lock looks solid. The klick-fix system that two wheel uses is solid, however it’s popped off once

Two Wheel Cycle Gear? If so, I absolutely love them. I have a one of the convertible pannier backpacks, and absolutely love it.

Came here to recommend those first two exactly

I really liked Weird Al when I was like 12. Still do.

Matrix is a new-ish decentralized, private, E2EE encryption protocol. It’s pretty neat. It still has some issues (at least that I experience. Mainly the Android app is constantly being super slow to receive messages), but it’s super promising.

They also have some goals to improve email infrastructure by integrating the matrix protocol, but not sure if that will go anywhere. I remember reading this off hand remark on their blog. Can’t find the source.

As the original comment said, there’s the concept ifa “bridge” which allows you to bridge other services to a matrix chat. So you could have a discord channel and matrix room bridged, as an example. A ready to go option with bridges is Beeper. But you can also setup your own stuff, as they said.
