@neural_meduza Вот так вот чуть-чуть яички разбил, чаёчек тёплый греет — ну очень уютно, прямо как дома! 😆
@randahl
But seriously, there should be a proper new term for that, "Global South" doesn't make any sense, Russia's territory extends beyond polar circle 😏
Middle East doesn't either, but all right, that already stuck 😅
@awescar Shortly followed by "How do I quit this chat? It's full of stupid people asking me about things I don't have a slightest idea of" 😂

Sounds legit! Everyone thinks he's a reptilian, but he's probably same specie as Alf. He has totally played us! Again! 🙀

В его «попечительском совете», чекисты сидят уже лет 10, и к данным пользователей сейчас уже имеет доступ даже обычная полиция — без всяких судебных бумаг. Ну, разве что, пока нет подхода «Не хотите пользоваться — заставим», в остальном разница невелика.

Нет, спасибо! Я сейчас занят. Давайте в другой раз 😄

Есть же какая-то штука от Яндекса, которая ворует ролики из TikTok. Правда, Яндекс докладывает куда ты едешь на такси напрямую в КГБ 😱

Stickers are also horrible in Matrix — and I think there are two separate implementations: one that you can add to your room as an extension and your own personal ones. The latter are accessible in e.g. Fluffy chat and they are synced across devices so it's definitely not some client-specific thing, but I don't know of any way to post those in Element 🤷

I think they also have some embeddable thing — so, same temporary accounts. I'm just not sure it works for matrix.org
And they of course could've got rid of the terms of service and telemetry questions and do it like Discord does "By clicking okay you agree to this and that…" — but it's good that they didn't, I'd probably not trust them with such an "improvement". Overall it's perfectly balanced now, not night and day difference.

Element has also seen a downgrade in fact. Like I said, when I've been signing up and it was still called Riot — there was no email verification, they probably just couldn't come up with better anti-spam measure. I think you can not have one on your server.And I've just checked — they do have invite links, I didn't even think of that as I've never used this function. And they even offer a selection of clients if you follow such a link

> новой реальности, в которой можно будет не только пить водку и читать рэп, но и жить
Как называется вера, которую исповедует этот священник? Кажется, мне она подходит 🤭
Нет, пить водку и читать рэп и сейчас можно — многие, кстати говоря, именно этим и занимаются, но ведь в этой новой — ещё и жить можно!
@NEETzsche
I don't think it's as bad as some try to paint it — I use Matrix for communicating with my non tech-savvy friends and family — all of them managed to signup without any help from me, including my mom and girls who prefer Instagram as their primary social media, none of them are bad with computers though.
My mom often complains that it takes a couple of seconds to decrypt bigger images — but that's what Telegram doesn't even have.

It took longer than I had expected and yes, they do have e-mail verification now — and that was the longest part. Average user probably won't be using a VPN exit point for signing up and won't have to enter ReCAPTCHA, and will definitely not get prompted about using ntfy for notifications. "Help us improve…" — it's good that they even ask.
Overall — not bad at all.
Can anyone do Discord?
@NEETzsche
No, I get your point, it's just a side note, but it might make a difference as they can get Telegram and Discord in Microsoft store, but they won't find Element there. On a phone, installing Element and signing up for an account on matrix.org would take roughly the same amount of clicks/touches I think.
I'm not sure what it would be for XMPP. Skype, while commercial, is a mess in this regard — it asks a lot of questions.

Do normies even use desktop systems these days? A phone and an Android tablet or an iPad is what they have. Having a "computer" is already a geeky thing.
@Cara Sounds true!
Well, the opposite is definitely true — it's just transitive law, so… 🤪
@kevinrothrock Russia better be careful with the warships still left, Syria trip didn't play out too well for the infamous Kuzya the aircraft carrier, no one knows if that "refit" ever gets finished 😅
None
Just in case: DMs/PMs simply don't exist on this instance as concept — don't use them, use the other instance if you absolutely have to, or send an email to any address at m0xEE.Net or .Com or .Org, but I prefer keep most communication public.
