Sliding-Sync was the proposal, they've just started work on simplifying it, and as such an implementation directly in Synapse is coming soon.
There's other improvements made with Sliding-Sync, but the "sliding" part required the server to order messages optimally, which doesn't work well with encryption, so that part basically got dropped. SyncV3 will as such be dubbed "Simplified Sliding Sync"
FYI, any client can implement SyncV3, even before it's merged, just nobody apart from Element did as it evolved rapidly and keeping up would be difficult.
@esm@hywan no, Krille-Chan did not implement that because it is still rapidly evolving at the moment.
Element, which has been spearheading the effort for the past 6-7 months is currently working on getting SyncV3 into Synapse, simplifying it in the process as the "sliding" part (inspired by how Discord does it) doesn't work well in encrypted rooms.[1]
[1]: it requires the server to order events, which isn't reliable in encrypted rooms as the HS doesn't know the contents. There are other improvements that came with Sliding-Sync apart from the "Sliding" part that'll still allow clients to dramatically reduce the amount of data they request.
If this lands on your feed, tell me about different features that are just missing in Matrix.
It can be anything, but please don't include memes like "unable to decrypt message" or other things that are already in the works, or maybe has already been merged (e.g media captions)
Some examples include better forwarded messages, rich profiles, or a live location sharing, just to name a few.
(I am writing something about this, boosts appreciated!)
@fell well a lot of reliability improvements came from Vodozemac (new crypto/encryption implementation) and performance is gonna get a lot better with SyncV3 (which is also very very soon)

Last friday, I have received a takedown request from a company representing Apple, requesting I remove a parody account that is Apple on my instance.
They are claiming that it attempts to "mislead users into believing that the account is sponsored by or affiliated with Apple when that is not the case".
I am convinced that the account was legally in the right as it was very obvious that it is a parody account, but unfortunately I am powerless against a gigacorporation in court as they could just financially ruin me if they feel like it.
Therefore, I would like to warn everyone NOT to create Apple parody accounts using Apple's logo and word mark on your instances, as this would be violating Apple's intellectual property and would waste the time and money of the law firm that actively scours the internet for these types of accounts! :neocat_o_o:
Hey ya'll, I've never done this but I don't know what else to do at this point. My dogs tumor has only gotten worse lately, and I have $200 of the $600 they want to fix his tumor, it's eating me up knowing I cant do anything but let him suffer because I cant make enough money. So I've started a gofundme.

My first and last(?) fountain pen. It was given to me by my father and I wrote with it every day for about 15 years — these days I reach for it to write cards or letters. #buywisely
Apparently, my school has raised an issue regarding my attendance at school (which I have tried to keep up as much as my mental health allows it), which will require me to prove using a medical certificate that I had some medical reason to not attend school those days.
Not having a Therapist which could give me such a medical certificate, they will probably fine me up to 1000€ (from what my limited research seems to suggest).
If I am lucky, I can get them to agree on a medical certificate from a normal doctor for the past ~2 weeks, but usually the fine is capped at ~1000€ and is increased with each day that you couldn't attend (which are a lot)
As such, as much as I hate to ask for this, I'd like to ask you to chip in support as neither I or my immediate family would be able to cover the costs.
This is urgent, because I do not know how much time is between now, and when they demand a fine.
Me having to pay a fine is pretty much guaranteed as I don't have medical certificates to back me up.
