Riverside vs Zoom (participant outlook) Chrome/Brave browser did not auto-scroll chat No emoji or 'reply' in chat (I do like to LOL and Thumbs-Up) Some panelist audio was quieter in stream (Parloff). I know that may be d/t their home studio kit, but that's what I heard (with an earpiece, not computer speaker). No Q&A function. If you're moving to Riverside for all things Material Supporter offerings, I'd like to have some control over settings in a browser window so I don't have to type out a question on my android. But you all are a delight and truly help me feel grounded in my thinking on so many subjects, so I'll listen up wherever you are.

2024-02-06 22:11:58 +0000 UTCRiverside was just fine for me. It was nice to be able to enlarge a speaker if we wanted to. As many people noted in the chat, the chat doesn't autoscroll consistently for most people on most platforms, but that was really just a minor annoyance. I actually liked it better than Zoom chat (and more reminiscent of crowdcast chat), although I'm not quite sure why. I did use this bookmarklet to force the chat window to autoscroll every half-second (500 ms): ``` e=document.querySelector(".css-s998yv"); f=window.setInterval(a => e.scrollTo(0,e.scrollHeight), 500); ``` But that might be a really dumb idea (now you can't scroll up!). Also might not work for everyone because it uses that odd css class name that might change. Also, it's a little goofy that the chat only shows first names. If you login with a nonbreaking space ("Zaphod Beeblebrox" not "Zaphod Beeblebrox") then it does at least show your full name, although as "Zaphod beeblebox") but whatever. When jbx and I are confused, the world will not end. Or everyone will be able to tell anyhow based on what we say.
