#matrix
BigTech uses open source if it increases their profit but they sabotage the philosophy behind it

If you want to get a sense of what the Matrix network will be like once Matrix 2 is fully rolled out, get yourself ElementX, and try it with an account on the matrix.org homeserver. I haven't had a chance to really stress test it yet. But from what I've experienced so far, it's a *huge* improvement on Matrix 1.0.
How many people still use #IRC ? Is it considered trusted and a known quanity because it has been arround for a long time? #Whonix removed it because it is unmaintained. #Tor blog mentions Hexchat in the #oniux announcement. You will have troubles authenticating and never get to the Palladium #onion if you try oniux hexchat. #old or #new : who to trust? When it comes to technology, treachery of the old and fidelity of the new?
@torproject - what works:
oniux element-desktop
https://forums.whonix.org/remove-hexchat-unmaintained
https://github.com/whonix/anon-meta-packages
But to have oniux, you need #Debian #Trixie and Whonix is still stable.
Does Synapse work with Debian 13 yet?

Nach längerer Zeit mal wieder #Matrix als Docker Container installiert - und wow, es hat sich einiges getan! 
Installation: Sauber durchgelaufen .well-known: Sofort korrekt erkannt Federation: Funktioniert im ersten Anlauf Sliding Sync: Problemlos übernommen Element X: Login ohne Hickups
Wer mich also direkt und sicher erreichen möchte, kann das nun auch wieder über Matrix (s. oben) tun. 
Ein bisschen dezentrale Kommunikation kann nie schaden - vor allem wenn sie endlich so reibungslos funktioniert wie sie sollte. 
3/3 Thanks to the open source communities who helped and developed to the benefit of #EU_OS!
1) #foreman integration with #bootc facts export also for Fedora: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/rriemann/eu-os/package/bootc/
2) #bluebuild improves local deployment of OCI containers for better development https://github.com/blue-build/cli/pull/448
3) #foreman investigation of issues with OCI registry receiving large containers (ours is about 9GiB) https://projects.theforeman.org/issues/38649
We got a #Matrix channel for developers at #eu-os-dev:kde.org Come over and say hi!
Modern Communications
How shall we contact you? Apparently, not easily.
1. Cell phone, no. Inconsistent for years now.
- Pixel 9 Fold: hardware failure, provider failure. Couldn't port number from Verizon to GFi.
- iPhone 15, hardware failure. Couldn't port from T-Mobile to Verizon.
- TCL 60 5G (color eInk), great phone, but I have no idea what the number is among all of the former ones and it's possibly not even turned on anymore.
2. SIP / VOIP phone: sure, the desk phone rings, and SMS can be received but can't go out (why? I have no idea, and I'm tired of troubleshooting).
3. Email: sure, if thunderbird didn't keep crashing, corrupting cache, and deleting months of messages during folder sync operations. Backups, sure, but the workflow is so broken now that I don't bother. Filters are ruined, recreating filters - no,no,never,again,please,no, the spam is overwhelming. I don't want to miss using Gmail, come on now, wtf.
4. Matrix? iMessage? XMPP, IRC? Whatsomething? Someothernetwork?
Too many networks, too much segmentation, no universal anything, forget useful or consistent notifications across several devices.
5. Write me a letter... actually don't, because USPS routinely loses important packages or the mail is stolen by literal gangs and the Feds don't prosecute anymore. Also, I don't own any paper or any pens, and forget about stamps.
6. Telegram? Signal? No.
Guess what's linked to a cell phone number? And even when you pay for the Very Special Money account on Telegram they will not respond to messages about having lost one's cell phone number (see #1). If you've tried to message me on Telegram since June, those messages are gone - I cannot access them ever again apparently.
Rethkning the Red & Blue Pill Paradigm
The Matrix needs more pills:

Just a very early morning reflection. Those that imagine that ChatGPT and the other models "think" and that they "understand" and that they can "talk" to them, and even - and I'm trying to hold it together here - "date" them, are quite simply voluntarily stepping into that #Matrix pod. Just sayin'
@kkarhan an app build on the matrix network (E2E encryption and no user data collection) and the matrix bridges that allow a user to have one app to manage all messenger apps (discord, messenger, WhatsApp, telegram, LinkedIn, google messages and chat, slack).
New update recently remove the need for the messages to pass via the beeper server.
Check : beeper.com and matrix.org

Ambiyelp @Geri If they had used end to end encrypted video calling on https://matrix.org it would have been very difficult for the police to stop because it is decentralised there is no central server you can call and threaten to stop it #matrix #e2ee
@thesismum Be aware that #Threema doesn’t have post quantum encryption. Legislation in Switzerland might not be that great in the future either: https://lenews.ch/2025/07/25/proton-freezes-swiss-investment-over-surveillance-fears/
Next, telecom data retention in the EU is about to change too (https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=celex:52025DC0349 if i am not mistaking), so poor encryption means access to data. Especially when quantum computing comes in play.
So for now I rather advice #Signal, but I am on #Element / #Matrix too.

Why did you not move your flag to a jurisdiction which has no plans to enact discriminatory laws like the UK Online Safety Act?
(1/2)
Anyone using #Lemmy and #Matrix? Any cool communities/rooms to follow? I’d like to hear how you fine folks are using those #platforms, especially to get away from large US companies

Sigh. I know some people who will stop using Matrix after this for the simple reason reason: client UX is STILL not there in some clients and Element documentation is godawful in some situations.
The way Matrix crypto works needs to be more intuitive WITHOUT trying to hide what is actually happen, as I have the feeling the "invisible crypto" project is doing.
For example: why the hell does Element want my backup decryption key when the Secrets module exists.
