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 ...
There was a performance regression introduced on Tuesday which the team is working to resolve, unfortunately exacerbated today by weekly end-of-week traffic peak. We are so sorry for the inconvenience!
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)_/¯
PS. If Matrix is good enough for the United Nations, the French civil service, the German healthcare system, and a ton of FOSS projects, it's probably good enough for your community or company, too.
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.
@cnx nope, no new drama (that I know of). Just some recent experiences using Element (android and web app), and some others. It's mostly broken/missing when in rooms using E2EE
