- stuff for sleeping (pajamas, pillows, etc.)
- plushies that are actually good
- chat protocol design
and I'm telling you xmpp is the worst of them all so far :)

@kaniini this guys from 
tried.. and failed badly...
@ajeremias at least matrix clients agree on what to support
@kaniini u mean attachments ? or the failed encryption libolm? or client developers complaining about reverse enginerring to implement a client? seriously.. xmpp is thousands light years away...
@ajeremias ok let me put it this way: they both suck ;)
@kaniini @ajeremias The e2ee experience with Matrix still needs more development I think. I looked at the hundreds of identities which it had registered in Riot and thought...this definitely isn't practical yet.
As a modern version of IRC though it's fine.

@bob @kaniini @ajeremias not IME. Joining #matrix took over an hour to consume 100% of RAM then died without completing
