So... #Signal and #Wire, which both have issues, but not #Matrix / #XMPP? And for video, 2 #YouTube front ends and a proprietary YouTube clone, but no direct mention of #Peertube? And for Translation, the proprietary #Deepl, but no mention of the local and #Privacy respecting #Firefox #translate

I appreciate the intent of this post, but the research is... outdated at best.

Does anyone know who could tell me more about the current status in #matrix wrt what is e2ee and what is not?

@matrix

I have been shepherding a Matrix Spec Change that tries to choose easy-to-understand wording to explain Cryptographic concepts to non-technical users.

I think the first draft is ready! Comments and suggestions welcome.

We've fully enabled authenticated media on matrix.org! 🎉

Users may see errors downloading images and files from matrix.org users – please update your client/server, or visit the support room for the client/server/homeserver you use. #Matrix

Reminder: tomorrow September 4th we will fully enable authenticated media on matrix.org, and freeze unauthenticated media endpoints!

Users may see errors downloading images and files from matrix.org users – the solution is to update your client/server. If that doesn't do it, visit the support room for your client/server software, or the homeserver you reside on, for more information.

One thing I initially found confusing with @element / @matrix: How one would share and join a channel. The way you get bounced between instances for that. And in a way for @Mastodon, too.

People describe these services as "just like email". But I think the one thing that is missing for that would be a proper #URI scheme and integration in browsers for things you can join or follow in these federated networks. Email has its established "mailto:foo@example.com" for instance.

Great episode. @davidimel's namedrop of @matrix was the most exciting for me. Apparently, #Bluesky was born in a #Matrix room.

Have you considered putting the Matrix Conference videos up on conf.tube (a specialized #Peertube instance for conference videos)?

I have just released v0.0.10 of iamb! 🎉 Since its last version, the client has gained:

- A command to mark rooms as DMs, set per-room notification levels, and to mark all rooms read
- Message slash commands
- Support for managing room aliases, room history, and bans
- Bug fixes for window resizes, <C-W>o, saving/restoring more layout info, and more!

See github.com/ulyssa/iamb/release… for binaries and a list of changes, and iamb.chat/ for docs and install instructions.

Draupnir is now being supported with a grant from NLnet NGI Zero. I've written up a post with some context, and to describe the goals for the project marewolf.me/posts/draupnir/24-…

If you do have feedback or questions you can reach out to me here or in our matrix room matrix.to/#/#draupnir:matrix.o… (which is preferred).

What will the Foundation do to protect projects at the heart of Matrix? How do we determine what those “core” projects are? And are there any projects that don’t belong at the Foundation?

We're beginning the process of defining a new governance framework for Foundation projects, in collaboration with the Governing Board and the rest of the ecosystem. matrix.org/blog/2024/08/heart-…

I thought that Chats (GNOME Chatty) is an SMS app, but it actually supports Matrix and XMPP too. So I can join discussions on the postmarketOS Matrix server from postmarketOS devices. Cool.

@matrix I know you worked on encryption and key exchange in the latest iterations, but you made it worse.

That is freaking not usable. A new contact added by ID in 1to1 chat, "Never send encrypted messages to unverified sessions.." not activated. Just a brand new contact.

Not working at all. Trying to get users to #Matrix like that won't work.

It's not only old-style looking, heavy and non-intuitive, it's just not working at all.

Yikes! Thanks for pointing that out. We've retracted the boost and boosted the original post you linked to.

We monitor the #Matrix hashtag to try to find news to reshare with the ecosystem, and will be wary of that particular outlet going forward.

Im #September finden drei sehr interessante #Konferenzen statt. Zwei in #Berlin und eine in #Dresden .

Es handelt sich um die #Datenspuren des phänomenalen Teams der @datenspuren des @c3d2

Die zweite ist die #BildetNetze Konferenz von #Netzpolitik

Die dritte Empfehlung ist die erste #Konferenz des #Matrix -Messangers in Berlin, veranstaltet von der The Matrix.org Foundation @matrix ebenfalls in Berlin.

Na dann - viel #Spaß!

Looks like an amazing conference! I'm especially pumped to see the talks on Matrix 2.0, ElementX and decentralized identity!

Will they be uploaded to Peertube? (Another wonderful decentralized, FOSS platform!)

🚀 Cinny v4 Update! 🚀

We’re excited to roll out Cinny v4 with amazing new features and fixes:

Lobby feature for easier space management
Organize spaces into folders and customize room order
Multi-room message search with filters
Redesigned Explore Community section and new Notification Center
Key-based account registration and password reset support

Check out the update at app.cinny.in/

Before and after closing the #Matrix #Element chat client tab in Firefox: 2.8 gigabytes of RAM freed. For *one tab*. And this is not a memory-inefficient browser we're talking about.

I guess feature-rich public chatrooms have a cost.

After many years away from the stage, I am back! It looks like I’m accepted to give a talk at the Matrix Conference (2024.matrix.org/) to present ✨ native simplified sliding sync ✨: how it differs from the first version of sliding sync (an experimental project implemented inside a proxy), how we’ve implemented it inside the Matrix Rust SDK etc. Gonna be fun!

The Matrix Conference is coming to Berlin, Germany on September 19–22, 2024.

Wow, #Element (the flagship #Matrix client) dropped support for #Firefox ESR in release 1.11.70. Or rather, they never supported it in the first place, only supporting "last two versions". The change causes a corrupted session for ESR users, and can't be reverted to fix it.

(Note that all Debian Stable users, by default, run Firefox ESR. This is kind of a big deal. ESR is always up to date on security, and gets new features once per year.)

They're managing the issue somewhat badly: github.com/element-hq/element-…

The best we've gotten so far, from a dev caught in the middle:

« Element devs follow the policy set out by people that manage them, they get an input but they do not control the policy. »

Nothing from their employer, whoever that is.

Make sure Element Web works with Firefox ESR · Issue #27684 · element-hq/element-web

Your use case It seems (given the discussion in #27682, unless the person in charge of support there) that Firefox ESR isn't supported. Given it has a large user base (enterprise, Debian stable and...

I've tagged version 0.0.1 of #libcmatrix - a #matrix client library.

The project was initiated and developed by
Sadiq (gitlab.gnome.org/pksadiq) in order to add Matrix support to chatty (gitlab.gnome.org/World/Chatty) for @purism

It has been a bit 😴 over the past months but my recent interest in #unifiedpush derailed me and I had a look at the code base, cleaned up minor things and figured it might make sense to tag a release so here we go: source.puri.sm/Librem5/libcmat…

Thanks @devrtz for the reviews!

Good to hear about improving call reliability in calls. Honestly, this is my number one complaint and request for Matrix overall.

I have a family member with an account on my server, and a TURN/STUN server, and our calls have working video and audio both ways less than 50% of the time.

They keep begging me to use Facetime. 🤮

While @suraj_sloth is working on the #UnifiedPush connector side in #Chatty I got a chance to add the code for registering/unregistering #Matrix push gateways in #libcmatrix and Chatty (with this I can readily round trip messages up to the UP distributor):

Okay, this one might not go so well with people but this is a draft I've been sitting on since May.

Here is my opinions about the current going alternatives to Discord, especially #Matrix and #XMPP. We need to talk about this rather now than soon.
