Leadership left and there was a few years where no one else in the office was in the same teams or reporting chains. The majority of people were in a single office in another company. I found it very difficult to participate and was left out of most decisions. Then covid hit and everything changed. With everyone working from home remote networking opportunities were built, I was an equal part of every discussion. Now I am in a large fortune 500 organization with a mix of working arrangements and I don't have any issues networking. I like to think we do a pretty good job with junior participation as well. The main thing I'm missing is the rumour mill and the pulse on what unrelated roles like sales/finance are saying on the ground.
I was in computer science in Canada and probably 5-10% of people brought laptops to class as far as I recall. A few people had to use the labs, but most students had their own computer or laptop at that time.

On cars the law requires seat belts and airbags and a variety of other legally enforced safety measures. If you have a study suggesting that helmets would significantly help I'd be curious to see it.
It might be the closest thing remaining; though unfortunately I was too young to participate in the hay-day of computer hobby clubs.
I work a lot in the messaging space (SMS,Email); typically the client wants to send a message and wants to know when it reached its destination (milliseconds to days later). Unless the client is forbidden from also being the report server which feels like an arbitrary restriction I'm not sure how to apply this.
I understand Kea has more features so I'm a little curious what I'm missing.
The appservice-irc bridge has this issue which is more of a question: https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-appservice-irc/issues/1... which hasn't been answered.
These are keeping our space on an earlier version.
The v12 room upgrade in particular seems to be difficult, and still not supported by many of the bridges. Is there a plan to force upgrade all rooms on matrix.org at some point?
