Doesn't matter, if they want to keep operating in such countries, they've got several options to choose from, amongst providing a backdoor or disabling E2EE.

Pardon my imprudence here, but it looks way worse than Mercurial's templates and revsets: https://repo.mercurial-scm.org/hg/help/template https://repo.mercurial-scm.org/hg/help/revse

I disagree with the sentiment, the IA is a very useful source, but, as shown here, it provided the wrong answer. In general, you can't trust it to tell "how old is something", only to show that it is "older than".

Hi, back after few days. I had quite a lot going on, and the "you sound angry" hint probably meant that I was better-off not responding straight away :) First of all, thanks for acknowledging the lack of focus of the project. I am

"upset" isn't perhaps the best word, "bitter" would come closer, and not for my sake necessarily but for those who are still new to this. You and I exchanged 1:1 around 8 years ago on MatrixHQ, when this whole thing

Matrix folks have been constantly over-promising and under-delivering for almost a decade now. If you've been following long enough, that should be of no surprise. Sorry for the bashing, but I got bitten once, and I see that nothing ha

That's a use-case where XMPP shines, historically. There are embeddable/lightweight clients doing that job well without all the matrix fuss.

> In Matrix, your chatrooms synchronise chat history between servers (rather than passing messages around), and that history is replicated equally over the participating servers, a bit like Git. XMPP had FMUC (Federated Multi-User Chats)

> E2EE, especially for group chats, is _the_ reason to use Matrix. It's an extremely hard problem, and you'll basically need to replicate what Matrix does if you want to solve it. I would be inclined to call this FUD. XMPP had

Sliding Sync is just your old bouncer with lip service and a fancy name, because the Matrix protocol is now officially deemed hopeless to be implemented efficiently on the client side, hence the need for a proxy to maintain your "clien

The linked post shows the AoT compiler ahead of the JIT one, it seems like PGO really closes the gap :)

I mean, I get the reference, but this amount of upscaling has a measurable cost in the real world, in this day and age (a small simulation from EC2's price calculator brings it from $40 to $80 a month if you go e.g. from t2.medium to t

I don't think anyone in their sane mind considers Teams (or anything electron-based, really) a model of adequate resource usage :) And I'm thrilled that you can afford $100-$600 a month of server costs to run jisti, but I'm w

I bet a majority of those 70M is WebKit itself, and I don't think there's any way to "condense" any of this since it lives outside of the JVM.

If Signal wanted to lead by example on the privacy front, they would have stuck with their initially federated design, wouldn't require phone numbers, and wouldn't (have to) hide behind obscure and unverifiable workarounds (SGX en

I don't think it makes sense to expect XMPP to "make an impact" ever, if by that you mean "to spontaneously become the next dominant network" (or it already is, under the guise of WhatsApp, bar the federated aspect)

Not too surprised, but aren't you incidentally also bundling chrome/WebKit on top of that by depending on WebView?

At some point you need to ship the runtime, right? Even native (Go, Rust, C++, …), depending on how you do the linking. What would make it more acceptable in this case is that you would strip down the JVM and only ship the modules depended

Group chats work pretty well in my experience. The spec for MUC is rather large even though only a small portion of it is used in practice (the roles/ACL capabilities go way beyond that of other protocols, probably inheriting the requi
