Well, then your key features are already implemented. So much to that

So not keeping up to users expectations - no matter how much - makes a failure?

I think your argumentation is flawed. If your server+consumer app combo can do that, do that

Re:Element raises $30M to boost Matrix on Tuesday July 27, 2021 @09:39AM (#27972276)
It hasn't really been there:

- encryption wasn't really there (and still is experimental)

- decentralization does not exist to the degree that Matrix provides it

And Matrix is fundamentally different. It works somewhat similar to git compared to XMPP being more like IRC, which results in a completely different form of decentralization. E2EE is different as well - even if both are based on the Signal Protocol: Matrix encrypts for groups of people instead of single devices

I doubt Matrix would be where it is if they tried to bend XMPP

> Also, when people usually talk about Matrix being adopted by masses they are talking about Matrix on matrix.org (or that's my understanding which may be incorrect as well).

No idea how you got that understanding. With respect to adoption the server does not matter at all (though many consider it advantageous if it is not matrix.org)

Steps in FluffyChat:

1. Press voice button next to text box on the bottom

2. Say what you have to say

3. Press "Send"

Well, sue them if you think they stole it, and see if you are right
It's not a quality guarantee for clients in practice since you can't control Client Side with open source

Regarding Riot, which is called Element by now, you may want to update your knowledge

What key features are you talking about?

May you define what you mean by "better"
Re:Command Line Interface for Signal on Wednesday June 30, 2021 @06:42AM (#27686990)
What's so special about keybase? I feel like Signal is current solution to go to if you just need easy e2ee (espexially because of its big userbase). Otherwise it's Matrix for me as it offers "the future of messaging" (well, you wish)
Why would you want that? It is super confusing since 1~first as well as every real life date representation I know has 1=January
ECS ist Standard for enterprise web apps as well
I use a more than 10 year old CPU and it runs just fine with Windows 10
Because it is over hyped by coin owners who want you to buy coins and make them rich
Source?
How secure is it compared to real transactions?

Re:CMV: Tech monopolies should be banned as a class on Tuesday June 22, 2021 @05:03AM (#27589472)
Well, there are attempts to this, e.g. Matrix. They even show cases how you can open up an existing closed messenger: https://matrix.org/blog/2020/12/07/gitter-now-speaks-matrix

However, existing tech giants have little reason to do so, unless users vote with their usage (which is sabotaged by lock-in effects through the existing social networks...)

Re:What every programmer should know about SSDs on Monday June 21, 2021 @03:57AM (#27577186)
Actually wear becomes increasingly more important as DRAM caches are removed to save money. And SSDs tend to have less write volume per unit
Since ethics has been invented for human society, there is no surprise for being averse to humans. Neither is that good or bad by nature
1. He refered to countries using humans for testing being a leap

2. Using humans for testing makes no sense bc. animals are exactly used to avoid early testing on humans

How can one claim it is ineffective when it is the most effective?
Re:Freenode ops take control of 700 channels on Wednesday May 26, 2021 @06:51PM (#27297137)
Could you expand on XMPP being over engineered? (Just curious) Thanks
Re:Freenode ops take control of 700 channels on Wednesday May 26, 2021 @06:46PM (#27297102)
Less than a third loose access through their current server. They can sign up on a different server and have access again.

Someone is (supposed to) building a proper Email bridge for Matrix through GSOC.
