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.
United Nations International Computing Centre (UNICC) has selected #Element as its #secure communications platform, following a competitive #tender process.
Element stood out as a digitally sovereign platform which offers end-to-end #encryption. Its ability to be #federated to support multiple organisations was also a key factor in the #selection process.
#UNICC will self-host Element through an Element Enterprise subscription.
Could #matrix become the groups functionality for the #SocialWeb? AKA could our identities be made to be shared between that service and #ActivityPub etc? Both are FOSS and decentralized, right? Thanks.
Boy do I love #matrix.org having issues again. It just doesn't feel like a truly modern replacement for things like #XMPP if it were stable and usable.
Finally found time to sign up and become a foundation member of the @matrix. Do it now! It's a quick and easy form. Takes five minutes and you're helping to secure the financial independence of #Matrix. #FOSS
#Fractal, a #Matrix client app for #GNOME, is pleasing to the eye and very convenient to use! Maybe it's because it's written in #Rust but it doesn't crash at all.
