Zawsze, ale to zawsze jest tak samo... Z każdym serwisem prowadzonym nie dla ludzi, a jedynie dla zysku... #zgównienie#enshittification
"Użytkownicy #Slack-a są przerażeni, gdy odkrywają wiadomości używane do szkolenia AI. Slack w obliczu ostrej reakcji twierdzi, że zmiany polityki są nieuchronne."
Likely a result of recent Slack shenanigans, the pressure on the matrix.org server is a good reminder of why I should just run my own #matrix instance. It also just adds to my appreciation of how much nicer it is to run and use #xmpp.
You know who will never mine your private communications to train an LLM?
Better yet, you know whose words you don't need to trust, because you aren't obligated to use any particular server? And the software is open source? And regularly audited by security researchers?
Matrix.
It's not perfect, but no tool is. It's a matter of what trade offs you're willing to accept. Just sayin' ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Anyone else experiencing severe service outages on matrix.org currently and during the last week?
My and my friend's account don't function at all and at @matrix I see only posts about their elections lately ...
Ok without support for searching #matrix chat room history, messages are effectively ephemeral... like connecting to #irc without a bouncer 🤦🏼♂️
This is going to probably make a lot of people angry/restart IRC/matrix flamewars, but I feel like it has to be said if we are going to push #matrix as a more open alternative to the other walled chat gardens (proprietary or otherwise) out there. I, a IRC user for decades, want Matrix to succeed, but the UX needs to suck a lot less than it does today.
and a Telegram Bridge (not tested with private messages)
Since this Matrix instance is selfhosted, the uptime of the instance will not be the BEST and downtimes can happen so use it at your own risk. However, you can see how stable my selfhosted server is here: https://stats.uptimerobot.com/89VnzSKAn/793739181
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!)
♲ @bkoehn@diaspora.koehn.com:> #Matrix is great, but using it can be a PITA. CLI clients are not ubiquitous, E2EE is complicated and requires local state, and the python client is extremely slow (like 10 seconds to send a message slow). I’ve often wanted a fast, easy way to post a message into a room in a way that’s simple and secure.Enter #pokem, a simple CLI tool that can also run as a daemon. You create a user for it to run as, configure it to use that user, and invite that user to whatever rooms you want.
Remotely, you can send a POST request and it will put the data into the room. No fuss, no muss.
So I can run curl --fail -d "hello, matrix" 'https://pokem.koehn.com/<room id>' from any script and it will put the message there automagically, even if the room is E2EE.
Feel free to invite @pokem:koehn.com to your matrix room (on any home server) and you can do the same.
Matrix certrainly has its rough edges, but I find it awesome that pretty much every major Linux community now has their dedicated space. All federated, of course.
Est ce que c'est une bonne idée de vouloir faire une messagerie compatible avec #RCS / #SMS / #MMS et #matrix et #XMPP ?
C'est à dire qu'une personne avec un numéro de téléphone pourrait faire une discussion de groupe avec un compte matrix et un compte XMPP et encore une autre qui n'a que les SMS.
Gnah ... dieses #Matrix, ne? ... Was ist eine sichere Variante, das zu verwenden? Ich muss wohl jetzt für ein Projekt. Gibt's ne Möglichkeit, den eigenen Account zu schützen? Zero-knowledge auf dem Server und Kontaktsperren für alle, außer einer Handvoll explizit erlaubten Accounts, so dass auch Server-Admins nichts von meinen Nachrichten sehen können? Ist blöd, wenn man Matrix-Admins explizit misstraut ...
Ostatnio na Telegramie przychodzi masa spamu w stylu "Odziedziczyłeś fortunę nigeryjskiego księcia". Chyba czas wreszcie zacząć przenosić kontakty na #Matrix :P
I was excited by the #Europe#DMA news back in March, when will we finally be able to communicate with #WhatsApp users from other platforms like #Matrix ?
