Wow.
Somehow, visualization is the most fascinating tech to me. Of course, sounds and other things are fantastic, but it all takes time to feel. For example, the sound, you have to listen to it second by second. Any fast-forwarding will result in an abnormal feeling (and we called it "distortion"). In contrast, images are just lying in front of you, and you can watch the whole film by seeing all frames (assuming it's a physical film, not something digital).
And by converting sounds and other info into images, we humans might not able to read it (you can't read a QR code by just staring at it, right? Right?), it's kind of abstract to us. But it is also concrete enough that allows us to roughly understand what's going on there. Just looking those digital dolby sound encoding in the film, it's not the changes in air pressure (something we called sound), it is the SOUND.
* Maybe, I mean maybe, because I don't know how to properly write frontend things and do data visualization, so I feel it's super cool to me. LOL

the sad reality of open source software development
In short: folks love the amazing decentralised encrypted comms utopia of Matrix. But organisations also love that they can use it without having to pay anyone to develop or maintain it. This is completely unsustainable, and Element is now literally unable to fund the entirety of the Matrix Foundation on behalf of everyone else - and has had to lay off some of the folks working on the core team as a result.

A quick update for myself.
It has been 2 weeks, and all I am left with is the cough. It's much better than several days ago (when I almost coughed my soul out). Now it's like 2 or 3 coughs per hour, and it doesn't hurt anymore.
Another symptom is sleepiness. My friend said it's a new symptom after he got covid. But for me, it has been a year, since I sleep at 2 am and wake up at 11 am. I really need to sleep early, right?

You don't always need guns for carnage. You just need to keep making wrong decisions when major public health events happen and insist that you are always glorious, great and right.
