items: lnxw48a1: @deavmi You can find both of my #ring accounts as "lnxw37".
items: lnxw48a1: @bobjonkman I found our conversation about #Jami / #Ring. See https://nu.federati.net/conversation/2033439 CC: @davehunt, who was also trying it at that time.
items: lnxw48a1: Logged into #Ring / #Jami to add @davehunt and @bobjonkman and see if it has improved since my contacts abandoned it after an update forced contact re-requests.
items: lnxw48a1: @davehunt @bobjonkman I still have it installed under its old name #Ring. I'm not often online, because none of my contacts use it any more, but I'm "lnxw37" there.
items: strypey: @AmarOk do you know what's happening with the #Ring #PPA with the name change to #Jami? Do I need to change to a new PPA? If so, do I need to uninstall, and reinstall?

title: lnxw48a1: In theory, I agree, but in practice, I have used #Ring, the earlier version of #Jami. The experience was so poor that I can no longer get my in-person contacts to try anything that is not #Facebook / #Instagram / #Zoom. And that's without ever trying the #videochat functionality ... we only used text chats and it was still a really poor experience. I've heard it got better, but of course, none of my in-person contacts will try it again. This also affects apps like #Briar and #Session.

title: lnxw48a1: @lxo Unless the people using #Jami are pretty advanced, they won’t like it. Having to be online at the same time, difficulties trying to use the same ID on multiple devices, those are things that most people will not tolerate. Maybe they have fixed some issues since I last tried to use it, but it was unpleasant to use during and shortly after the GNU #Ring days.

title: lnxw48a1: @geniusmusing @lxo This is important. #GNU #Jami used to only send when both parties were online simultaneously. If the parties in the conversation are in different timezones, that may not happen often. Users reasonably want end-to-end encryption (E2EE), but still want some basic usability. (The experience back in the GNU #Ring days was pretty bad. Even today, none of my contacts will reconsider it.)

title: lnxw48a1: Experience with #Jami's ancestor #Ring tells me that it needs a fairly technical user who is willing to tolerate some annoying deficiencies. My contacts have all dropped it, including one son who is a network engineer. Be careful about promoting it to people who are not willing to endure those things, or we can chase people away from all non-Facebook communications software.

Several of them tried #Ring (now #Jami) before that, but it was a bad experience all around and cries of "it got better" won't get anyone to try it.

Although I think it has as much to do with the efficiency of subsystems that handle things like push notifications as the apps themselves.

If I wanted to see all that random garbage, I would still have an account. Yes, but how can we get in touch with you? Let me count the ways: * call * text * !XMPP * #Wire * #Ring / #Jami * e-mail * in person * contact any of my sons, nephews, siblings, my youngest niece, the cousin that lives in TX, or my mom and ask them to forward

title: lnxw48a1: @davehunt @bobjonkman @mangeurdenuage I made the mistake of trying to get a group of family members to migrate to #Ring / #Jami about 18 months ago. At the time, there was no presence indicator, so it was "send message, hope the other party is there to receive it; oops, message is hung up trying to send, I guess they aren't online right now". Then came an update that meant needing to re-request connection with all my contacts, and that was it. A single contact confirmed connection, but I never again successfully sent or received a message*, and they all stopped using it. * I believe I successfully sent one message to BobJonkman a day or two ago, but he was away, so no answer was received.

title: strypey: @danyspin97 @TheOuterLinux > In the end #Matrix still seems the most promising one to me, due to the presence of both a public community and a IM.#Matrix is client/server, so quite a different beast from #Tox / #Ring, which are serverless. Matrix seems like a good candidate for replacing both #IRC and #Slack, given that it's federated by default (unlike IRC which needs a bunch of extra stuff to support federation), and it's an open protocol (unlike Slack which is a #DataFarm).

title: strypey: @danyspin97 @TheOuterLinux > #Ring is really interesting, I've downloaded it but I've never tried it.I've only used it once. The distro I have been using up until recently was too old to support it. Ring did a reasonable job of a one-to-one voice call (bit of echo at my end that I could work out how to fix), but it doesn't seem to support delivery of messages if the receiver was offline when it was sent. If you're keen to test, my Ring ID is 'strypey'

title: strypey: @danyspin97 @TheOuterLinux As the TokTok devs make it clear, they know there are issues with the #Tox protocol, and have a plan to address them. They clearly state the limits of Tox on their TokTok website, and all the clients have "alpha software" disclaimers. Most of the projects the critics claim they should all work on instead of client/server, not #P2P. Tox, like #Ring or #Ricochet or #Briar, are attempting a totally different thing from #Signal / #Noise.

title: strypey: @TheOuterLinux @danyspin97 have you tried #Wire and #Ring? Wire relies on a centralized server, but Ring is #P2P (like #Tox). They're both #FreeCode and both work pretty well for text chat, one-to-one voice calls (although I had persistent echo on Ring the one time I've tesed it so far). I've also tested file-transfer and image sharing on Wire, which work fine. Haven't test conference calling or video chat on either yet.

title: strypey: I wonder if it would be possible for #XMPP clients to implement the #P2P voice/video calling protocols used by #Ring and #Tox? This might work better than the current solution(s), and take a lot of stress off the servers in the XMPP network.

title: strypey: Just tested a voice call on #GNU #Ring for the first time (my Ring ID is 'strypey'). Worked pretty well. Not quite as good as #Wire, mainly because with Ring there was 3 sec delay, and I couldn't get it to stop echoing my own voice back to me, even using headphones and an external mic. More tweaking required (at my end or theirs)? Quite impressive though considering no server is involved. Client #UX isn't quite a smooth as Wire yet, but it has a lot of potential.

title: strypey: @ring I'm installing #Ring on Trisquel 8 using the instructions for Ubuntu 16.04. The command to add the "universe" repo throws an error. After a bit of head-scratching, I just skipped that step and it seems to be working. Would be good to put a note in your installation instructions warning Trisquel users about this.
