Mainly #German #Matrix #podcast:
Meet Nico who many might know as the maintainer of the nheko client and a passionate critic. We talked about how he hopes to improve Matrix by voicing concerns on various change proposals and how the similarity of his name and nheko is just a coincidence.
The episode which we recorded at #FOSDEM2023 can be found here:

Nico - FOSDEM 2023 by Matrix Salon Podcast
Nico ist der Maintainer vom Matrix-Client nheko und ist dafür bekannt viel im Matrix-Ecosystem zu kritisieren. Hinter der Kritik steht der Wunsch ein großartiges Chat-Protokoll und -Ökosystem for sich und andere zu schaffen.
Auf der FOSDEM 2023 haben wir ihn sprechen können und erfahren, dass die Ähnlichkeit von Nico und nheko nur ein Zufall ist.
