DustyI've been trying out <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/Fluffychat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Fluffychat</a> for <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/iPadOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#iPadOS</a>, and after some brief usage, I must admit like it. In the <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/Apple" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Apple</a> world, pretty much no app would be caught dead without a beautiful UX. It's kind of like a trip to Paris: the place is snobby, but damn it everyone is well dressed and looking their best. Fluffychat doesn't disappoint for its looks, while it's surprisingly <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/OpenSource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OpenSource</a>. <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/Matrix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Matrix</a>

Dusty<a href="https://tech.lgbt/@nina_kali_nina" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@nina_kali_nina</a> I've been using <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/XMPP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#XMPP</a> for the last year or so, wondering if the halcyon ICQ days of yore are still to be had.After testing it with several friends connecting to my own self-hosted <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/Prosody" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Prosody</a> server, here's what I found:- Yes it all works, on all XMPP clients. But MacOS/iPadOS/iOS clients are not all that mature at this time. The <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Linux</a> (<a href="https://autistics.life/tags/Gajim" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Gajim</a>, despite no video or audio calls) and <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/Android" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Android</a> (<a href="https://autistics.life/tags/Conversations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Conversations</a>) XMPP clients are the best, IMHO. Always favor those, I say, and they are confidently installable and reliable today. - Yes, use OMEMO encryption on personal chats. But when it comes to group chats, OMEMO is not necessarily the right move. - If you don't need privacy in an XMPP group, then don't create a private group, but rather a _public_ group (the safer choice for reliability of message delivery). No OMEMO is possible in a public group, and the messages propagating around will be reliable, even to clients who vanish and re-appear after prolonged absences. - If you really need OMEMO encryption in a group chat, create a _private_ group, not a public group. **Clients who vanish from the group for prolonged periods may miss out on some of the messages when they return (say, a few weeks later)**. - I kept a wiki with several more quirks noted, which came up, and felt confusing and frustrating to my (non-geek) friends using XMPP.As to your Apple-ecosystem-confined friends, at this moment in time, maybe talk to them 1:1 in <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/Fluffychat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Fluffychat</a>/Matrix, which affords encryption, and is all <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/OpenSource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OpenSource</a>, like everything above. (Groups in <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/Matrix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Matrix</a> have a track record of failing for everybody in them very badly every 2 or 3 years or so.)

Dunbar's NumberWhy is <a href="https://eattherich.club/tags/Matrix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Matrix</a> so bad?I really want to love Matrix, but it's terrible. Let's not get into that it's more <a href="https://eattherich.club/tags/IRC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#IRC</a> than Discord, and there's a reason why <a href="https://eattherich.club/tags/Discord" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Discord</a>, despite its drawbacks managed to get such a big mind share, that's beside the point, but relevant and we'll come back to how.Many different things I have installed offer instant messages as a way to follow communities, get support, etc and I really don't wanna use something I use personally or I have issues with due to whatever corporate fuckeries they undertake. This means I generally want to avoid <a href="https://eattherich.club/tags/Telegram" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Telegram</a>, <a href="https://eattherich.club/tags/Signal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Signal</a> or <a href="https://eattherich.club/tags/Discord" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Discord</a>.As a result, I ended up leaning into using a Matrix. It feels like the best of the rest and that's because it's lead by a bunch of old men who don't understand why people prefer Discord over IRC.Anyway, what made me really commit was that I finally found a client that could do multiple accounts. So I had <a href="https://eattherich.club/tags/Faraday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Faraday</a> installed and though a bit temperamental, things were working fine.One month ago, Faraday updated, because it's forked from an old version of <a href="https://eattherich.club/tags/Schildichat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Schildichat</a> and shit was outdated. So after some prompting the developer updated it a bit. It broke the client completely and wouldn't open. I impatiently waited and one month later a new update was released that still never fixed my issue. I thought, no way can the developer and <a href="https://eattherich.club/tags/FDroid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FDroid</a> be that collectively incompetent, which means it's probably on my end. So I cleared storage on my other phone and the app opened. Hooray!So I ran to my main phone and reset storage. Finally Faraday opened and then it began… Or didn't. Because once I logged in and it crashed, as it does, it was stuck on the Initial Sync, waiting for a server response. I didn't wanna be impatient, so I waited and waited and waited and nothing changed. Clear cache, clear storage, uninstall and reinstall, nothing changed.So I'm thinking something has to be wrong, so eventually I said let me check with a stock app, so I grab <a href="https://eattherich.club/tags/ElementX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ElementX</a> and log in and suddenly I get this stuff about authentication and I'm like WTF?Now I swear down. I hate <a href="https://eattherich.club/tags/privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#privacy</a> zealots. If you work in software, get them away from your decision making process. I don't dispute they have valuable input, but it's at the cost of the end product, every single time.So I'm there trying to authenticate a device and I'm stressing because I just want all my old chats back. These aren't even private chats, they're public chats. I just don't wanna have to go hunting down room addresses again. But Matrix is making this harder than it needs to be and seem scarier than it needs to be.In the end I realised that I didn't have another device to authenticate me and I didn't have the encryption codes saved. I ended up trying to circumvent it by using a web based client, which didn't work. And after some anxiety, I said fuck it and reset and then I'm finally in and find all chats preserved. But now at the bottom of all the rooms it says it's not encrypted and I'm like, fuck!Turns out this has nothing to do with the encryption before. I found this out later. Anyway, so I'm trying to authenticate Element X using the browser and that refuses to work, because switching screens is bad, so I'm forced to use two devices. Give me strength! And then hilariously the Element X doesn't want to authenticate anything else. Yay, you're useful.So my question is, when all these old arse developers who have clearly dreamed the same dream for fifty years were sitting around, why didn't anyone ask why it needed to be so hard. Secret agents are using Signal not Matrix. Even if you were adamant, why couldn't you just use a <a href="https://eattherich.club/tags/TOTP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TOTP</a>? Problem solved, less friction. Why_can't_you_just_be_normal.gifAnyway, now that I'm back in, I try Faraday again and it's still not working. I'm forced to give it up, I actually didn't mind the <a href="https://eattherich.club/tags/UX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#UX</a> and the icon is better than Schildichat. So I search for a new client with multi account support and the only choices are cross platform clients, ugh. I end up going with <a href="https://eattherich.club/tags/FluffyChat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FluffyChat</a> and the UX isn't great, which is part and parcel of anything developed to run across platforms. I would rather something someone made for Android with love and understanding every time. But alas.Even then, I had to log into the web to authenticate, because for some reason we can't just have a <a href="https://eattherich.club/tags/2FA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#2FA</a> TOTP pop-up. Ugh!Oh and the mind share thing was because they were targeting modern needs as opposed to trying to recreate an out of favour platform or bury people with terrible UX.

Neff :manjaro:<a href="https://mastodon.uno/@filippodb" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@filippodb</a> <a href="https://diggita.com/c/sicurezza" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@sicurezza</a> matrix funziona ma Element è complicato da usare. Per favore, fate un post sulle alternative a Element. Ce ne sono alcune davvero ben fatte e che rendono l'uso di Matrix davvero piacevole. Io consiglio <a href="https://mastodon.uno/tags/Fluffychat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Fluffychat</a> che è molto più simile ad un normale client tipo Telegram / WhatsApp

Krille-chanTiny new feature: Checkboxes in a message.No, I'm not gonna make it a full blown task list app 😜 but it happens quite often, that my wife sends me a list of groceries when I'm walking to the supermarket. This way I'm now able to check, what I have already in my cart so I don't forget anything.It works by sending special reactions under the hood. So anyone with reaction sending permissions in a room can check any box from any sender.What do you think?<a href="https://troet.cafe/tags/matrix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#matrix</a> <a href="https://troet.cafe/tags/fluffychat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#fluffychat</a> <a href="https://mastodon.matrix.org/@matrix" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@matrix</a>

Hier fand ich die Präsentationen von <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/famedly" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#famedly</a> recht interssant. Ein Anbieter von TK Messenger <a href="https://www.famedly.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.famedly.com/</a> den ich selbst auch beruflich seit einiger Zeit teste.

Krille-chanI'm proud to present a new AI feature, I've implemented in <a href="https://troet.cafe/tags/FluffyChat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FluffyChat</a>. I replaced the "SEND" button with AI. It makes things so much easier. Instead of manually pushing a button to send a message like a caveman, the AI detects automatically when you finish typing and sends the input of the textfield. This leads to a much less cluttered UI and a better user experience. The error rate is minimal. 🥳 Stay tuned for more 🤖 AI features in FluffyChat implemented on a timestamp like TODAY 😄 <a href="https://troet.cafe/tags/matrix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#matrix</a>
