Wet concrete is already pretty nasty stuff if it gets on the skin, though.

Interesting. Wonder if it can show emojis in incoming SMS in a some human-readable form.

Have you used any of the recent button phones? They are not particularly dependable things in my experience.

To me it looks like technical scalability issues are a nasty growth-limiting factor for Matrix. When user base grows, the protocol and the implementations hit a some sort of limit above which they don't work properly anymore. Then they

Ouch. It seems to be even more incomplete than I thought. The lack of Bluetooth and GPS is kind of surprising, since those things have worked on Linux laptops for at least a couple of decades or so.

Great that something is being done to those attacks. They have been a real nuisance, recently. However, the solution seems to introduce a single point of failure to the rooms, at least partially defeating the purpose of the (very resource-i

Because it is not realistic to except a government to always be "good". Courts are just going to rubber-stamp warrants, like they have done with present-day "lawful interception" warrants. And the keys are inevitably goi

This is a great loss for the whole Matrix ecosystem. To succeed, the protocol needs at least one performant and reliable server. Synapse is still slow, finicky and difficult.

Is this AOSP stuff, or is this only in the Google's proprietary parts?

What would be the consequences, if Meta was caught doing something "funny" with e2ee? Maybe small fines, and a brief online moral panic, but I don't think people would switch to another app en masse solely because of that.

That's an admin interface, to configure the server. Webmail is something that one uses to read the mails.

I wouldn't be a good way to spend money and resources to rewrite things like jpeg decoders again and again. It would not help to make the final product any better, but just siphon the money off from more worthwhile purposes. Companies

IMO this is really unfortunate. Not only they are admitting that it is an exercise in futility to set up a medium-to-large Matrix deployment using an open source software stack. 100 000 people is not "nation-scale". It is small to

Libera appears to be building a new IRC server software. It is intended to solve the netsplit problem, and also offer features such as user persistence and chat history, that make it more convenient to use with mobile clients.

It seems to pretty much still be in transition. Element X lacks still many features, and cannot be used with some homeservers that still use the old style SSO. I already use use Matrix for many public chat rooms, but it still needs some wor

That and the fact that in many cases, the symptoms are very mild, and the problem could be reasonably seen to actually lie in the society's sometimes really far-reaching demands for homogenity. And extreme homogenity is bad for innovat

The problem is that Whatsapp does not yet need to expose group chats to other platforms. IIRC, it will change in next year, though.

by AAAAaccountAAAA 2y ago
Could this perhaps be leveraged to make Matrix groups accessible in Whatsapp? I don't really care about 1:1 chats, SMS is usually good enough for them.
