♲ @matrix@mastodon.matrix.org: GSoC report 3 of 4 is available! Thank you Alexey Andreyev, who has been making end-to-end encryption available in Qt-based clients via libQuotient - read his report: matrix.org/blog/2019/09/20/qt-… #gsoc #e2ee #encryption #matrix
♲ @matrix@mastodon.matrix.org: Happy Friday? It definitely is! Check out This Week in Matrix, it's got all the latest news about #matrix and #decentralisation, and features a great video chat about progress and plans for bridging with Slack, IRC and more matrix.org/blog/2019/09/20/thi… PLUS new server ranking table!
#LOL #car_theft, #robbery or #burglary or #shoplifting (they say “robbing”, but there’s no indication in the story that the person took something by force, violence, or threat.)
I'm proposing a new version of a metadata document specification for servers in the #federated#web. This aims to collect the good and avoid the bad of the previous iterations, and to be flexible enough for a large part of the federated web to implement it.
Comments very much welcome, especially from #developers working on the federated web.
I created a #Matrix room with a RSS bot but I don't get a notification when a new RSS item pops up. In the room settings I have enabled notification for all messages. Is it by intention that bot's don't trigger notifications? Sounds odd.
@ludman1#Matrix hat voice und video chat. Das wären die Gründe dafür. Dagegen spricht für mich, dass sie #e2ee noch immer nur optional anbieten (moderne #XMPP clients machen #OMEMO by default). Außerdem verwendet #riot#electronJS. Und mit #riot kann ich nicht mehrere Accounts/Identitäten verwenden.
Allgemein würde ich behaupten #XMPP ist in der Praxis dezentralisierter und tiefer in der Community verwurzelt.

lnxw48a1Wow. Another thing disappointing about #Matrix, or at least the #Riot client. Someone posted video of some guy pushing his schlong through some device attached to a chair back. There’s no mechanism for hiding or blocking that video. The homeserver admin or the room’s admin could remove the post, of course, but why must individual users have to wait for some higher-up to decide whether they see particular content? That power belongs first and foremost to the user.
"matrix.org and vector.im receive a lot of private, personal and identifiable data on a regular basis, or metadata that can be used to precisely identify and/or track users/server, their social graph, usage pattern and potential location. This is possible both by the default configuration values in synapse/Riot […]"
I’m working on a couple of bots for Matrix, so I decided to pull out the basic functionality into its own module so I don’t end up repeating work. This is also my first time packaging a python project and uploading it to PyPI. So far, so good.
I was sad that Matrix doesn't automatically generate previews when people post links, so I decided to make my bot do it. Then I was sad to find the existing opengraph modules don't seem to work in python 3.7. Then I found this and thought, "Hey, I know that guy" and I was happy.
