I will use IRC until my last dying breath, both libera.chat for public chats and one on a tildes server for a smaller community of computer weirdos (weird in the best way possible).
I use matrix for things like Ubuntu Studio community chat which have given up on IRC because it's "not popular" or whatever ;) I used to strongly dislike matrix, but now that I've put the recovery key in my password manager, I only mildly dislike it.
For non-open source, I'm still on Google messages (gross) for RCS/MMS/SMS, Signal for cool people and my therapist (I guess shes cool too---the only person I've successfully brought to signal), Bluebubbles for my family who all have iDevices, Discord for work social chat, Slack for the one makerspace who uses it, and email...
Things I've successfully distanced from after using a lot:
WhatsApp. This is a challenge because a lot of cool group chats in my IRL community are here.
FB messenger. I still have friends on Facebook. Or I should say, people I've lost touch with are still on Facebook.
IG: I log into this account once every 6mo or so to contact people that I only have on here.
Greatly prefer this as well. It's a lot easier to tell the difference between 50 and 75% with a pie chart than it is with your eyeballs looking at how similar or different two colors are.
How do you remember the difference between Owen Wilson and Chris Pratt? I keep getting them confused. I know Chris Pratt was in Community, but maybe Owen Wilson was also? I'm not sure.
Idk about spotify, but m v b has some poppy tunes, some experimental tunes, and def goes on a little journey. Kevin Shields talked about how part of it was music he had shelved after loveless and dusted off and got out the door. There are two or three tracks that stand out to me, but it is definitely worth a listen!
So happy they finally made m b v though. It was an amazing coda to their masterpiece which gave some much appreciated closure and cemented loveless's place as the gem of their collection.
I saw an interview with them about how once they figured out how to play that way, time started to pass differently, and it was a healing experience for them.
Specifically open source?
