People often talk about Emacs vs Vim. Every developer I’ve met uses Vim. Occasionally, some of the vim users will say they have previously emacs, but switched to vim.
So where are all the people who are currently using Emacs?
I’m not trolling or looking for an argument. I legit want to know!
@awoodsnet #Emacs has been great for writing, listening to internet radio, connecting to #mastodon and #matrix, managing multi #email accounts and maybe some #coding if I get bored. It's more than just a text editor and can be a #frontend to many great applications.
"Discord wyłącza boty „szpiegowskie”, które zbierały i sprzedawały wiadomości użytkowników.
Po tym, jak w zeszłym tygodniu 404 Media poinformowało o usłudze, Discord zamknął teraz wiele kont typu scraping i twierdzi, że rozważa podjęcie kroków prawnych."
I'll forever die on the hill that #Matrix and especially #Element must support stickers and sticker packs in a first class manner to succeed in the mainstream.

Get to know the candidates, and get ready: voting begins on May 18th.
Nachdem #Telegram ziemlich eindeutig Nazisymbolik im letzten "Hey guck mal wie tol wir sind"-Pitch verwendet hat, gehen mir langsam die barrierefreien Messenger aus. Die Partnerin und ich überlegen, es mal mit #Matrix zu versuchen und sind etwas erschlagen davon, wo man anfängt. Selbst hosten ist zumindest momentan keine Option. Wo ist es denn angenehm?
I might finally do a technical stream this weekend. But instead of coding the goal for me will be to set up #Synapse and hook up to the #Matrix. I tried this before but got stuck on the mail server setup step, but I've been told there are other options so I guess we'll give this another go.
Will I finally divorce myself from #Discord? Probably not, but this is a good first step and if I can get this to work, then I can finally delete my server from that cursed network! 😂
I’m excited to announce that Beeper has been acquired by Automattic. This acquisition marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter as we continue our mission to create the best chat app on earth.
Pour info, beeper est une app qui permet de creer facilement des ponts sur les messagerie comme telegram, signal, whatsapp, sms. Sous Element (app matrix), l'option etait un peu technique ou il faut avoir un abo sur Element One...enfin toute les étapes qu'une personne normale ne ferait pas. Beeper simplifie cela.
En tout cas, c'est un gros changement dans le paysage des tchats. Automattic (wordpress) était déjà interessé par Matrix en 2020 :
Et je me disais qu'Element allait gagner en maturité, fonctionalités et je l'avais suggéré à mon équipe pour un résultat en demi-teinte, trop tot car pas super aboutti.
Et je pense que cette acquisition va bousculer un peu le paysage, nottament pour whatsapp. Reste que matrix a encore besoin de finition.
Well done. Facebook (sorry, "Meta"): "Reality Labs has now lost more than $45 billion since the end of 2020, when Meta first began reporting the business segment separately."
Yes, billion with a B.
That's an insane amount of money. I don't even want to go into the whole "think how many hospitals could have been funded with that money".
Quick reminder that @element built a metaverse that works better than anything Facebook has shown, for a fraction of the investment, and built entirely on free and open source technology including @matrix : https://thirdroom.io/

So has anyone had experience setting up a #Matrix server using #Synapse? The platform itself seemed pretty straightforward until it got to the part where I needed to configure a mail server. What solutions do people use?
I want desperately to set my own server and ween myself off of Discord soooo badly. 😅
I want Matrix to last. When I look at the success of the Linux project, I see years of steady work paying off in the long term. I think Matrix should take the same approach: steadily working on creating an excellent open standard and excellent implementations of it. Taking over the world (which is absolutely my ambition!) will inevitably come if the product is good enough, because the advantages of openness are so strong.
Ny eier/administrator av #snabelen.no? Jeg har tydeligvis gått glipp av noe her. Den "gamle" har virket noe demotivert, og har tenkt høyt om instansens framtid, men han hadde tidligere gitt uttrykk for at han ikke så for seg en slik løsning. #norsktut
As for the #matrix channel - I used to run one for a lot of admins from across the whole fediverse, but after quite a few years of running it, shut down the entire server last year. It was costly for how inactive it was. 😅
So, you wont see me on #allheimen:norge.chat anytime soon - I don't have an account - but good initiative! 🙂
It's a bummer that to get best #matrix experience you gotta set up your own server because then you can finally use bridges and other tools that actually work, and you can also disable encryption by default.
ESS is a self-hosted deployment for #Matrix homeserver management, and also provides client software, along with technical support.
I don't know the specific implementation details here. But AFAIK, it's still the case that UNICC run data centers are at least capable of offering international jurisdiction.
Now I have #mastodon, #email and #matrix in #emacs. Funny how communications on computers are easier to focus on without all the intense animations, colors and ads. I feel much more relaxed and ready to work when it's all texted based.
