At first I didn't get it… But OMG, Luce is so cool in this scene! 😍

Did they really think that making their mascot look like a character from popular series that had "devil's paw"… and naming her dangerously similar to certain Lucifer was a bright idea? 🤔
Wait… or was it on purpose? 😈

> he's removed bots not increased them
I've seen a couple of papers that I have no reasons not to trust — both claiming that the number has increased drastically. Maybe it did improve in the recent months, I don't know.
> they just said he's ruining twitter
The "destroy Twitter" in "Elon continues to destroy Twitter" is a link to an article about the removal of block feature, or rather about limiting it to DMs only — I'm not a user and can't confirm, but it is what it is 🤷

@meowski
I can agree — them being politically opinionated is bad… ish, but if you think that it's bad for them to just be in a different camp, then I can't agree and like I already said it would be weird for them to support Musk even if they were on the same team: give or take Twitter is still centralised and they stand for decentralisation.
@newt

@meowski
You might be right in general, but I don't think it means that in this particular context, check out what they are referring to — it's about removing the block feature on account level, this isn't about censorship or lack of thereof and thus has nothing to do with free speech. Besides, most right-leaning people seem to be okay with it, but Twitter becoming bot-infested is a fact, so him "ruining it" is irrelevant to his political alignment.

@newt

@meowski
They also maintain presence here, so I don't care.
Wouldn't it be more surprising for a foundation behind a decentralised protocol to do the opposite: promoting centralised Twitter (even compared to Blue Skype it is) and Elon Musk, who is behind it? 🤔

@newt

@newt
Yeah, true.
> but the code isn't developed by Matrix Foundation anymore
Wasn't it the model for quite some time already? 🤔 I mean they don't do it themselves at this point, but they might hire others to implement certain parts.
> video calls working in nheko (it's in C++/Qt)
Good! I've only used Nheko on my Windows machine — because compared to Windows even Qt doesn't seem that bad 🤭
I've seen some settings related to it, but I wasn't sure it wasn't a just a placeholder and that it works.

@newt
How is it dead?
This came up on my feed just yesterday: https://matrix.org/blog/2024/10/29/matrix-2.0-is-here/
And from what I see, not all these specs are client-side. Dendrite (Is it the implementation in Go? 🤔) might be dead, maybe they have just abandoned it as they don't even mention it in the announcement, lol… But the protocol itself looks pretty much alive to me, they've even redone the video calls so maybe we can have those not in Web-based clients only.

@birdulon @nyanide
So yeah, starting a project that does more than a couple of things here and there, includes working with complex data structures and relies on multi-threaded code, might "fix it" for him/her 😏

@birdulon @nyanide
I can totally see where this is coming from: on the outside C is a very simple language, C++ and especially Rust code — with type conversions and fighting the borrow checker might seem like a clusterfuck with lots of superfluity. And when you only make small things you don't even realise that this simplicity comes at a price.
Same for Go really — except you can do more complex things with it, and I think they have ruined the language with generics.

Literally… 😏

@nyanide
Just get hardware that's better supported by OpenBSD next time — that would solve the performance issue. Computers nowadays are so overpowered anyway that I can hardly imagine that being a major issue, the lack of a mature Bluetooth stack might be a problem for some though.
