There are some great documentaries about these predatory companies. Monetary compensation for blood/organ donation must be banned, its an obvious disaster unless we implement UBI.

Idk but apparently the dev of tuwunel was a dick about the fork splitting.

Im confused by this list. It includes the matrix server implementations synapse and continuwuity, but not matrix itself or any of its clients. The only matrix client that could reasonably replace discord is element but its not even there.

The initial release was literally 7 HOURS ago so its not really recommendable yet at all. Idk why it keeps getting spammed here today.

Stoat has been around for 5 years and used to be called Revolt until recently.

Neither are e2ee or federated so not particularly future proof or enshittification resistant unless you self host (which most people dont…)

I see. I havent selfhosted any matrix servers yet, so i havent looked into it too much. But yeah its kind of an intimidating process to set these up when i look at the guides. I know that there are a few server implementations besides synapse that are mature and stable (and supposedly much more resource efficient) and they do support docker deployment. All of these including synapse can however be run on a raspberry pi so there isnt really any big requirements other than keeping it up to date and doing backups of your databases.

I admit i mostly use matrix as an instant messenger, but it works fine for when i need comms with my friends while gaming or when i want to share my screen for something. My university also has its own deployment so all the people around me automatically have an account anyway, which makes it easy to set up groupchats.

Sure it still has some jank to it, but if you look at how janky it used to be even just a year ago, the trajectory is pretty clear to me. Its a very ambitious project that arguably tried to do too much at once in its early days, but i think its here to stay and its only gonna get better. If its not good enough for you today, then just wait another year or two until it is. Its not going away because its being used basically everywhere at this point. Government, healthcare, military, university, private industry, schools, etc.

Also completely new with no other contributors. Stay the fuck away from this until its been in development for a while and someone reviewed the code.

then you can use matrix

I mean its incredibly bright in that shot, to your eyes this level of lighting should be more than enough. Im more worried about the lack of harness or rope on this person.

Booting from USB drives has worked well for me

Nah just dudes named “Mason”. On their 18th birthday some shadowy people come to abduct them to take them here. Usually the Masons survive, but not always.

Seems to be somewhat dead yeah, cant even ping it.

The down votes are from people who work in IT support that have to deal with idiots that play with things they dont understand.
