Trying to keep myself out of trouble… But I have in one way or another have dealt with most big corps. The ones that scare me the most are the mom and pop shops that lack the infrastructure for a regulatory group. Like a team dedicated on keeping up with all the various changes both locally and globally since… As you mentioned products do ship and it’s hard to track where things come from. And I think that’s why I tend to trust these larger entities (now anyway). They have to deal with global regulations and not just the FDA stuff. That said, the FDA just ruled out a mandate on traceability standards for 2026. But to your point, I’m not sure how public this will be as it seems like it would lay out a companies supply chain and customer base…which are considered trade secrets.

I guess time will tell.

I wanna be clear, I’m not really a fanboi, it’s just something I’m surrounded by with my current role and wanted to share my experiences while not sharing anything that would get me in trouble… I need that check y’all 🥺

While I don’t doubt nor deny this happens (looking at you 3M), but I will say from experience, a lot of the bigger corps push themselves to exceed food safety standards. Well at least, in my experience in the food biz … Granted I’m more in the luxurious sector. But yeah, since 2008 we’ve been well beyond what is being asked… Mostly for perception, but overall for financial reasons. In general a food safety incident costs about 10 mil (average anyway). Like we’ve been testing for heavy metals well before I started … And now that’s a big thing being tested for and such. The FDA sets a pretty low bar… Most of their actions tend to be reactionary.

Again, not saying I disagree, just stating my one point of data from my anecdotal experience.

I always find this a little funny… Like I always hear complaints how the FDA is overbearing and stuff… And I’m like, they’re barely doing their job. They’re so woefully backed that even if they make a ruling, they act super slow or are unable to enforce. That said… Lots of moves happening from them after the baby formula stuff. It’ll be interesting how the next year or two goes

Has there been an update? The last time I tried this… It was not a good experience… Seemed to crash pretty often, but I am on an arm64 device… so maybe that has something to do with it

I either get down voted or ignored for this… But you should check out beeper. It’s just matrix with bridges but makes the login procedure much easier for normies as it’s an email two way auth vs maintaining a key and password…

If the Internet has taught me anything… I know someone out there took one look and said 'imma fuck this thing. ’

i believe the use case is for old tech that require win95/dos …like interfacing with old science instruments

Y’all remember that Kickstarter called bark no more?

That said, I’m interested but skeptical

Not official but I’ve seen. A handful of users post about it in the chatroom

Edit - crap, I swore there was a plasma build… Phosh only … Sorry

madtitan(kodi)

i use that and the aforementioned link above.

Im aware, I’m specifically speaking about the log in process being simpler for most people on beeper vs matrix. I use beeper thru nheko, as you said it’s just matrix. But less work for the end user

Self host beeper… I love matrix but people struggle with maintaining a key and password … beeper simplifies this and has other chat protocols (bridges) that might entice normies.

…okay it wasn’t just me then. 😅

Chiming in, pinephone homies love this ish. Thanks homie

Geez how crazy is it that I misread this as ‘death penalty for child rape victims’ and was like 'yo that’s fucked up… But I’m not surprised ’

Well fuck me, I’m being audited and I’m broke.
