Doesn’t your local DNS has to reach out to another DNS to query yet unknown addresses, causing an infinite loop as it’s now told to reach out to itself?

Might be a stupid question, but how are PR’s connected to your server deployment?

Renovate?

Good thing there isn’t a filter for “has working voice channels that aren’t a hot mess”, the list would be immediately and fully empty. With the exception of Mumble perhaps, but that one instead doesn’t have any text channels or community features.

Absolutely not impossible for a skilled dev with lots of free time. This is still an Alpha after all.

Where do I even start…

• The verification process constantly breaks
• Sessions get randomly unverified
• Pictures aren’t being send occasionally
• Their client is a UI/UX catastrophe
• Room Events are incompatible (esp. w/ Element X)
• The “experimental” voice rooms are total trash, settings are not working (e.g. auto-gain can’t be disabled)
• The Calls via Jitsi somehow have a worse UX than Skype had in its worst days
• The verification via emojis uses different emoji styles, missing the point completely
• Due to the session mess “Can’t decrypt message” will be your best friend
• Even if you got a verified session it sometimes fails to decrypt a message
• The federation is SLOW. As in “wait many many minutes” slow.
• The whole Spaces-with-detached-rooms concept is a mess
• There’re no proper moderation tools
• There isn’t even a god damn admin panel! For the longest time you had to MANUALLY CURL THE API. Even today you have to mess with third-party admin panels that usually don’t have all options exposed
• Encryption is nice, but Matrix leaking tons of metadata isn’t.
• They effectively stopped developing the Element client in favour of Element X, which isn’t available in desktop. And also loves to break during verification.
• Third-party clients sometimes work better, but certainly don’t expect anything but text chats with pictures there.

I really tried to like it, I even attempted to move a community over, attempted to self-host, all the jazz. It’s a steaming mess for years now with no end in sight, and literally everyone who tried it eventually left disenchanted. Don’t even bother trying it.

Because Stoat is also riddled with problems and Matrix is a dysfunctional hot mess.

Do you want a scene-by-scene explanation of every command shown?

I understood everything, and I hate it.

Way more even. Just look at emulation on Android, you can play good damn Sekiro on it by now.

Even if they manage to take away our desktops, Smartphones become beautifully powerful and can be docked to TVs and all via USB-C easily.

I had a good connection back then (FTTH 100mbit, <5ms latency) and it worked like shit. There are WAY too many variables that can screw up this cloud gaming stuff, the whole concept is messed up.

Nitrokey’s devices are also worth a look, they’re a European company based in Germany and really know their stuff. Their NitroWall routers run on Coreboot and come with either OPNsense or OpenWrt.

Your word in the Linux communities’ hardliners ears. The consistent rejection of isolation concepts seen in Flatpak or Snap by some people go completely beyond me.

If this is a real headline then the author is either incompetent regarding code and the complexity of big projects or very competent in regards to marketing and making ragebait headlines. Either of the two.

Don’t they want to monetize those as well?

Perhaps Spacebar is a thing (the client of choice would be Fermi I think). Didn’t try it myself yet though, I do not know about how well its security protocol works. I’d assume it uses just a standard TURNS server for audio and video though.

Then of course there’s Matrix with Jitsi plugin, which will give you persistent headaches and a new appreciation of touching grass. It’s a mess, but hypothetically offers E2EE (if it works).

it’s been flawless for me

What kind of deal-with-the-devil black magic fuckery have you done to be able to write that? I’m happy if Matrix actually sends damn pictures and gave up completely on verifying my sessions.

In which way does it differ from Yunohost?

The code is immaculate. Its fully tested as well. No one has looked at the code, they’ve just complained.

Even if that’s correct it isn’t even the main reason why people are pissed about the use of AI. No matter if the code is “perfect” or not, it was created primarily using inherently immoral and outright dangerous tools.

Yunohost.
