Who is macOS designed for? I assume a non negligible customer base are software professionals and this iOSification of the desktop is borderline hostile. I don’t get it.
I self hosted matrix-synapse and riot (now element) for a year or more. The resource utilization of synapse was rough on my cheap vps. Upgrading to dendrite and maintaining state seemed challenging. Eventually the server fell over and I didn’t feel like trying to rebuild everything.
I’m all for pluggable SOA architectures at work, but for personal use I’d prefer something turnkey.
