(repost) Seeking advice on matrix clients - I would like one which (a) isn't web based (I count electron as web-based) (b) supports SSO login, (c) multiple accounts, and (d) E2E encryption. So far the best I've found is Quaternion, but that lacks (d)

Levenshulme @BeEV_Charging in the past 3 months: Dig up Chapel St and the A6, mark wrong parking bays, install charger, unmark wrong bays, dig up Chapel St again, mark right bays, put a rain cover over charger, remove rain cover. You still can't actually charge your car there.

When talking about our agendas for the day, I told my 5yo I was a little nervous about a meeting I have today. He said, β€œMama, I am nervous all the time. I know what to do.” So friends, here is all the advice he could fit into the drive to school:
