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 outdated at best.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.

#Matrix #Mastodon

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.

About the authenticated media endpoints Matrix is using, I try to push a new release candidate of FluffyChat today which supports those and then release it as soon as possible.

So hopefully nothing will break 👍😁

For server devs: FluffyChat will also look into the `unstable_features` for the "org.matrix.msc3916.stable" key. This way you can implement it on the server without the full v1.11 feature set

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).

Matrix - Decentralised and secure communication

You're invited to talk on Matrix. If you don't already have a client this link will help you pick one, and join the conversation. If you already have one, this link will help you join the conversation

Matrix, the open protocol for secure decentralised communications

^{MTRNord (matrix.org)}

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-…

Matrix, the open protocol for secure decentralised communications

I am disappointed that @matrix didn't publish any response to the Soatok post.

At least to provide some context about
- Why was an insecure crypto implementation knowingly chosen for libolm?
- Why was the fact that libolm is potentially insecure not clearly communicated?
- Why was the crypto implementation not replaced sooner?
- Why is the ecosystem so slow to start using the Rust rewrite?
- Does the foundation plan to do anything about that?

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.

Fractal 8 Released: The Linux Matrix Messaging App Gets Better!

A new upgrade has landed for Matrix users!

^{Sourav Rudra (It's FOSS News)}

Open Source Community auf #Matrix. ~5 technisch *sehr* versierte Personen rätseln, warum einer plötzlich keine Nachrichten der Anderen entschlüsseln kann.

Matrix ist nicht alltagstauglich.

Wenn eine Reihe von Informatikern und Open Source Contributors deine Fehlermeldungen nicht entziffern kann, dann ist das einfach *schlecht*. Da gibt's keine sinnvolle Ausrede. Dann hast Du einfach nur einen vollumfänglichen Fail hingelegt. Dann gibt's auch einfach nix mit "naja RTFM" zu wollen. Das ist Scheiße und muss als solche benannt werden.

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
@netzpolitik_feed
in Berlin.

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/

#matrix #cinnyapp #reactjs

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.

having an amazing progress on getting rid of #telegram 😄

managed to move 27 conversations from telegram to #signal (I think one conversation was moved to #threema 😄)

About half of the people already had signal. The other half I spent time explaining all the things that are wrong with telegram.

The fact that people listen to me and then make the move, shows me that my friends, especially the ones who are not into tech, trust and respect me. One of my friends was really

impressed because she thought that all messengers are the same and just have different skins and buttons 😆😆😆

Only 1 friend left who has not (yet) downloaded #signal, but is going to 👌🏾

The family group was impossible to migrate. Apparently older people don't like change. Not really a surprise 😆 No idea how I'll handle that. Maybe my cousin will be a proxy or I'll have to use telegram every now and then (on desktop) to check the family group. OR I will just keep pestering every one when we meet IRL 😂 "We have to move to signal" and one of my uncles will be like "NO! I INSTALLED TELEGRAM BECAUSE LAST TIME YOU SAID WE HAVE TO LEAVE WHATSAPP. I WILL NOT DO THIS AGAIN" 😆😆😆😆😆

Other than that I have a handful of telegram bots. Most of them I have written myself. Nothing crazy though, almost all of them just wrap some APIs.

Since I've started to use #matrix since April, I'm now thinking about turning my telegram-bots into matrix-bots. I think it could be a fun project and would make telegram even more obsolete 😄
