I just love when #Element has an update (which it has every couple hours), and when you click the button to refresh all you're left with is a white page and an error in the #Javascript console. #Matrix
It turns out this time its not even a bug, it is intended behaviour! #Element apparently simply doesn't support #Firefox ESR, which is what I use on #Debian, so I guess I just won't use #Matrix on my laptop anymore.
One of the devs argues they cannot support a browser release that is one year old. Why are modern developers so scared of stable software? Why does everything need to be new and changed? It's so dumb...

@tyil probably it's devs running on latest apple hardware or something alike, yes ;)
i just remembered hydrogen which also is a web client but it should run on older browsers
@bonifartius@qoto.org I'm guessing they suffer from an issue that seems to affect the majority of web developers, they're all using high-end hardware and operating systems that value bleeding-edge over stability. It is disturbing how few web developers have ever tried to use their applications on lower-end hardware or on slower or unstable Internet connections. They simply don't understand the majority of people on the planet are not living lives as luxurious as theirs.
If one of the devs were using regular #Debian with #Firefox supplied from the standard repositories, they would've immediately caught this issue.
