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."
L'instance matrix.org rencontre énormément de dysfonctionnements depuis hier se qui rend l'expérience quasiment inutilisable. L'instance étant déjà sujet à des lenteurs en temps normal, je me tâte à ouvrir ma propre instance mais la migration de mes espaces existants peut être assez fastidieuse...
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.
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 ...
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)_/¯
Just emailed my opt out to slack. I'm wondering what I should move over to. It would be good to have something where someone not me was the admin. Happy to pay the same amount we pay for slack.

@fijxu Ojo que intente entrar desde mi instancia y me sale que no esta federada, no se si esto es apropósito, pero https://federationtester.matrix.org/#matrix.nadeko.net tira que los nombres del servidor en la config de nginx y el homeserver de synapse no coinciden.
Instant messaging is more complicated than you'd think. Sending a message from one device to another seems simple, but it's hard; especially on mobile. NAT, Firewalls, smartphone battery optimisation are all technical challenges, but then you also got user expectations. Users expect to see the same messages in the same order on every device. They want to be able to send photos, files, locations, voice messages and much more. On top of all that, full end to end encryption is a must have nowadays. Especially if you let average people run their own servers.
Matrix seems overly complex, but once you attempt to reinvent it, you end up with the same level of complexity.
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.
