Question to the #Matrix people out there. As far as I understand it "Element Calls" is the new Voip standard for Matrix, implemented in #ElementX on Android.

This means that when I use ElementX I can call other ElementX clients. My #Element desktop client doesn't receive the calls and I can't call a ElementX client from the desktop. I don't know the status on iOS as there is no such thing as ElementX as far as I know.

Is there somewhere a overview about the implementation status / roadmap?

Jag använder Matrix (mha Element-klient) sedan ett flertal år.

Jag funderar på att byta server, till en mer aktivt underhållen server. Liksom vad jag ska föreslå för server till vänner.

Förutom matrix.org foundation, finns det någon som har förslag på andra öppna bra servrar jag kan titta på att öppna konto hos?

Der var oversettelsene av Matrix Authentication Service fullført for norsk bokmål.

Håper oversettelsene vil bli til glede for mange!

@AAMfP @lealternative se sono connessi ad internet, qualsiasi voip va bene. Oltre al fatto che qualsiasi software di chat ha la chiamata vocale. Io userei #Element #Matrix o #jitsi

Just setup the latest element w/ embedded element call, lk-jwt-service and livekit and now have fully self hosted videoconferencing in matrix.

Documentation and implementation since yesterday is at a point where it's easy to follow and deploy w/o having to host a separate element call web service.

I'm a bit concerned about abuse potential, for now I've locked down lk-jwt-service w/ haproxy to only talk to users of my local homeserver.

Warum tchncs.de ein Synapse-Update ausgerechnet zur Primetime ausführt, ist mir ein Rätsel. Warum wird das nicht um 4 Uhr morgens automatisiert gemacht?

I have now filed a bug report about the web version of #Element (the flagbearing #Matrix client) constantly using/waking my CPU while it is unfocused in a background tab in Firefox: github.com/element-hq/element-

I'm hoping I'm not the only one observing this issue, and that some power saving improvements can be made, because to me this would look like a big drain on battery life for modern #laptops that *need* you to let their CPUs sleep while idle.

ElementX is *so* much faster than the current stable versions of Element and its various soft forks (I'm currently using SchildiChat).

As I've said before, I'm guessing it will take another 6-12 months for all the Matrix 2.0 upgrades to be rolled out and fully stabilized in the various app and server software. But if ElementX performance is anything to go by, the new and improved Matrix ecosystem will be well worth an open-minded test.

Okay, what's the best #Discord alternative for a #chat platform, I want one for my #streamer / #vtuber community, currently using Discord but want to Own It and such. For real this time.

Is #element / #matrix still the biggest one? I guess there's #IRC, I want whatever I can get the largest non-zero number of people using. And voice chat ideally, video not necessary.

Lol, why are *all* my #Matrix #Element clients now once again unverified? I literally re-verified them 2 days ago.

Whatever…

Not only there's Jitsi and Element (but no mentions of the futuristic Element Call yet), but many other open-source alternatives I wasn't aware of. Nice list!

I said it before on Mastodon. I'm reposting this again. Comparing #DeltaChat and #Matrix together, if you want hassle free and consistent messenger for private #E2EE chats, don't go for Matrix. DeltaChat is way better.

However, if you want something like a public forum, or a public chatroom, don't go for DeltaChat. Matrix is way better suited for that. And DeltaChat does not support public groups at all. In DeltaChat groups, there is no admin or moderator and everyone have got permission to remove or add the others.

I think I have to write a longer post on my personal blog about these two, comparing them together.

PS: Another Matrix encryption bug few minutes ago triggered repost of this.

@duuk @bitsoffreedom Nóg n reden om niet met elkaar hier in europa niet Signal maar b.v. #element / #matrix te gaan gebruiken. Daar speelt ook dat probleem niet.

Begrijp me goed, de massale overstap naar Signal is een stap in de goede richting, maar niet de oplossing waar we uiteindelijk moeten zijn.

Naast jouw bezwaar, is het niet federatief, en wel volledig gevestigd in de VS. Dus erg kwetsbaar voor ons hier.

Uuuh, apparently an underlying problem with matrix-js-sdk that breaks even third-party clients? Nothing works, such a classic. :D

Guess I'm locked out of my private DMs again! Such trustworthy software, very Discord-alternative, much wow.
