@jmoenikes@twitter.com Heute geht @jitsinews@twitter.com und @matrixdotorg@twitter.com bei @Datareport@twitter.com produktiv. Zumindest im Norden kommt man dann damit schon recht weit. Kontakt (wie immer hier bei Twitter) über @SchulzHeirich@twitter.com

@sheridans@twitter.com Yes, there has been analysis. There are clear winners, like http://Riot.im (@matrixdotorg@twitter.com), but Zoom came out poorly due to the amount of data gathering to third-party services.

@nextcloud@twitter.com, ⁦@RiotChat@twitter.com⁩ oder ⁦@jitsinews@twitter.com⁩: Mit diesen Open-Source-Tools gelingt das Homeoffice. Und hat hat große Vorteile im Vergleich zu ⁦@SlackHQ@twitter.com⁩ oder ⁦@zoom_us@twitter.com⁩. #Handelsblatt https://www.handelsblatt.com/technik/gadgets/coronakrise-mit-diesen-vier-open-source-tools-gelingt-das-homeoffice/25676180.html

@vurpo @bart yup. this builds on the ruma stuff. https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-rust-sdk/blob/master/Cargo.toml#L23

@alex it happens automagically if you're in room with an active jitsi widget and you switch to another room.

@phel if they move to using matrix-rust-sdk, yup :)

So we haven't yelling about it yet, but poljar has been making good progress on an official #rust Matrix SDK over at https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-rust-sdk - and thanks to incorporating olm-rs from jhaye in the Fractal community, it just decrypted its first ever E2EE msg!! Watch this space...🦀

Slack and Discord have been the golden chat apps for a while, but neither is free from controversy. In their place, our community recommends @mewe@twitter.com, @signalapp@twitter.com, @matrixdotorg@twitter.com, and @RiotChat@twitter.com. 💯

Apologies for the recent perf problems on the http://matrix.org homeserver thanks to new traffic. However as of 21:30 GMT we've found a new optimisation which has got us back some headroom, and meanwhile sharding work is progressing well. Also, please run your own servers!

@pete perfect timing - we're just merging stuff to make it way easier to self-host jitsi. https://github.com/vector-im/riot-web/pull/12780 and a few bugfix PRs are merging in the coming hours and will be available on riot.im/develop

@pep we thought the value of the remote work guide outweighed the fact the author doesn't like VCs.

Successfully using entirely self-hosted+federated Riot/Matrix/Jitsi/Etherpad/PeerTube to host lectures, teleconference with students, answer questions in chat, and collaboratively edit their code. Write-up is incoming. Once I take a nap.

People are realizing that their new "work from home" venture capitalist tools are not privacy friendly.

In my remote work guide, I've included ethical alternatives to Slack, Zoom etc. These are @matrixdotorg@twitter.com @RiotChat@twitter.com @jitsinews@twitter.com @taigaio@twitter.com @basecamp@twitter.com 👇

The http://matrix.org homeserver is suffering problems beyond the extreme overload we've seen over the last week; we're on the case (and meanwhile work on fundamentally fixing performance issues is progressing well). Apologies for the downtime.

Interested in getting involved in Matrix development for #GSOC? We just added two new suggested projects related to Dendrite development, check them out at http://matrix-org.github.io/gsoc/#/projects if you want to get involved in a #golang #decentralization project!

Synapse 1.12.0 has arrived. It contains alias abuse support and a bunch of performance fixes, well worth an upgrade. Check it out https://matrix.org/blog/2020/03/23/synapse-1-12-0-released

Allez, un grand bravo à @tchap_dinum@twitter.com, vous assurez un max. C'est vraiment sympa d'avoir un moyen de chat sécurisé entre agents publics dans les conditions actuelles. 👍👍👍

@alvar_f@twitter.com Ich würde nur @RiotChat@twitter.com von @matrixdotorg@twitter.com empfehlen. Nutze ich selbst und bin sehr zufrieden 💪.
