    Other than backwards compatibility with previous IRC clients, is there anything IRCv3 brings that something like Matrix doesn’t do? Despite myself being a pretty prolific EFnet’er 15-20 years ago, most of the world has moved from IRC and I question the value of splitting resources across too many different efforts, when I think we’d be better off if everyone adopting a federated protocol like Matrix; which I believe covers pretty much all of the IRC use cases in addition to a number of others.










  • I’d say The Inner Light is almost universally considered the greatest TNG episode, although there are other great ones.

    I in particular enjoyed The Measure of a Man, The Drumhead, The Chase, Who Watches The Watchers, Yesterday’s Enterprise, The Offspring, The Best of Both Worlds, Darmok, Chain of Command, The Pegasus, Lower Decks, and All Good Things.

    Almost certainly the worst episode is Masks (or maybe Shades of Grey)
