I hope it is going to be ok. Automattic has been involved with matrix before. Time will tell, but I’m more hopeful than afraid.
Element is running out of money. I think they would keep the old license if other commercial matrix-based projects would contribute developers or money.
I would also welcome decent micropayments (maybe digieuro?), so that you wouldn’t need to subscribe, but could pay 0.045€ for something without it being unfeasible because of fixed transaction costs.
My point exactly. Why do we get ads on something we pay for with money?
Linux is quite lightweight. Pick a distro that doesn’t run a lot of stuff by default. OpenBSD only runs sshd exposed to the network, AFAIR. Debian probably does the same. But really, the lightness comes from what isn’t running. NixOS, fedora, rocky, alpine are all decent alternatives.
I can only approve of people paying for services they use. It isn’t free to run. But there are several things to consider:
Another surge on mastodon? Countries, cities, public organisations should put up their own mastodon like EU, BBC and Germany have.
Yes, because for large public rooms it makes no sense as anyone can leak the message contents anyway and e2ee is expensive for large rooms.
zram or a cloud instance with more ram https://paul.totterman.name/posts/free-clouds/
Riot games forced them to change the name.
Thanks to sliding sync this is very snappy compared to old element.
Element X is built on the rust SDK which should support multiple accounts. https://github.com/vector-im/element-meta/discussions/1832
cryptpad.fr is a decent alternative
I’ve read some old DOS manual. And several Linux books back from the days when Linux came on CDs alongside books.
There are different kinds of documentation https://diataxis.fr/
I just read about an Chinese (maybe govt subsidised) EV for 15 000 USD. Even in EU you’re starting to see 35k€ EVs
