It's NixOS... could they pull just that package from the release-21.05 channel? E.g., let newerPkgs = import (builtins.fetchGit { name = "release-21.05-pkgs";

Gah, I'm so sorry that happened to you. I'm glad the error message worked so at least the room owner was aware that you weren't able to move into the new room. Synapse 1.42 and 1.43 both support Room Version 9, and should be

In this case, the parent spec change for Spaces was MSC1772: Matrix spaces ( https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/1772 ). You may also want to look into MSC2946: Spaces Summary ( https://gith

This may be heretical but... I just use Element in my browser. If I need another tab, I open another tab. Did the same thing when I worked at a company that used Slack.

We hear the desire to fully hide the Spaces sidebar loud and clear. It wasn't a blocker for leaving Beta, but we are tracking that request in https://github.com/vector-im/element-web/issues/18898

Groups ("Communities") are a legacy, underspecified extension to the Matrix protocol; it's best to ignore them as they will go away soon. Spaces are the properly specced replacement for Groups. From a user perspective, Spaces

Ah, hence the requirement of joining the loyalty programme -- lets them track scores even when using a store-provided scanner. Makes sense. Thanks!

That's the damnedest thing, though. Review fraud has me manually curating a mental list of trusted brands which I'll preferentially by from, rather than using a marketplace for discovery. Seems totally backwards.

One of our primary goals on the Synapse last quarter was to make it possible for a new homeserver to join Matrix HQ (a large, public room) in under 1 GB of RAM. And we did it. https://matrix.org/blog/2021/06/1

I wouldn't go that far. What I meant is more that Element would've been willing to share our private source tree for Element Android 1.2.2 with F-Droid several days in advance of disclosure, if it meant that they could pre-build t

As for interesting public chats: Quite a lot of the free software community is on Matrix these days; check out projects you're interested in and see if they have a Matrix link. For example, the NixOS community has a curated Matrix Spac

Element did coordinate with the F-Droid packagers on behalf of both Element Android and SchildiChat. Because F-Droid runs their own builds and requires published source code, there is no mechanism for pre-building and staging security relea

I work at Element. At first blush, https://serpentsec.1337.cx/matrix seems like a fair writeup of Matrix protocol metadata, with examples, by a third party.

What I did on my M1 was: 1. Grab a pre-release of Nix 2.4 from the `binaryTarball.aarch64-darwin` job on Hydra: https://hydra.nixos.org/jobset/nix/master#tabs-jobs 2. Run the installer with: ./install --daemo

Much more common than you would expect coming from a traditional package manager, since Nix freely allows multiple versions of packages to coexist. E.g., many folks run a stable release of NixOS but install select user packages from unstabl

Not automatic, but as a replacement for nix-env and nix-shell, it's great. When I need an x86_64 package, I find `nix shell nixpkgs#legacyPackages.x86_64-darwin.neovim` easier to recall and reason about. (Or `nix profile install nixpkg

A better future is on the horizon (or here, today, if you're willing to install a 2.4 pre-release): Flakes make it trivial to fall back to x86_64 when aarch64 fails, and the CLI experience is dramatically improved. Alas, that path is p

Love Fastmail, and use it both personally and at work, but in business contexts the shared calendaring situation is dire. No free/busy scheduling aids at all.
