Network cable also doesn’t do male to male lol what? You do mean patch cables yes, like cat#? Rj45 ends definitely require a female end, and you surely aren’t splicing the wires together with dolphins i hope.
For me as a server owner who only uses mobile: the update made things far more difficult. I can no longer easily see which users can see which channels, I can’t see who is online easily, and it adds more steps to do what were simple tasks. Whatever things are changing, and while I hate gestures I can see how they are nice. Being disableable or being able to change what it does would also be nice.
All in all its just a good excuse to learn matrix.
