Charlie: How do you know what I think ATProto is?
Um… Hello, uh… Charlie. Obviously I don’t really know what you think. It’s just that the title “ATProto might not be what you think” didn’t roll of the tongue the same way, so I shortened it for marketing’s sake.
New desktop isn’t electron, and of course it’ll need your email, it’s a chat app.
But the real cool thing is that it’s a matrix client (that federates!) and all the bridges are open source, the company maintains most all of the bridges to corporate chat platforms.
