Share Live Location feature is comming to #matrix to selected (private or not) rooms
trust in your server admins becomes more important if you use this feature
It's a feature I requested for #xmpp also, to use it as a beacon to share with family/friends when riding my bike
This is not like "share location" as a message that includes your coordinates and correspondent can open in their device/app, it's a link to open your current location for the given time you set.
I currently use my garmin device that has such feature, but it'd be nice if I could use my own #xmpp server (I will NOT configure a matrix server for this purpose tho)
fun instalar #fluffychat (cliente #matrix) para ver como vai a cousa e vin que a versión para #android anda por enriba dos 70MB (pareceume "moito"). Meh, instaleina igual pero dixen "voulles preguntar" se fai falta que sexa tan grande. E fará! supuxen.
O caso e que deume por mirar canto de grande é a versión android de #Element... e resulta que son máis de 120MB 😛
@codewiz@kzimmermann@thenewoil Not sure why #Matrix should scale better than #XMPP . Matrix synchronizes room state across all participating servers, which is much more expensive.
The #FSFE opens its own #Matrix server! Supporters and registered volunteers can get their :fsfe.org account, and everyone can join our community chatrooms 🚀
Matrix/Element: la mensajería del futuro (ya llegó) (parte 1)
La historia de los mensajeros es fascinante: desde ICQ hasta Whatsapp, pasando por MSN, las BBS, Jabber (XMPP), gTalk y decenas de otros. La discusión es más que interesante y el siguiete cómic describe uno de los problemas que encontramos en la actualidad:
I don't want yet another IM app, but I *do* want IM apps to interoperate enough that I don't need to care which one my friends chose to use today.
Since the decline of XMPP, there hasn't been another protocol with enough traction to get adopted by the top-tier IM apps.
Matrix tried (and is still trying) to position itself as that open standard, but I don't see other players falling over each other to add Matrix support.
FluffyChat is an open source, nonprofit matrix client created using Flutter, the open source framework that allows building beautiful, natively compiled, multi-platform applications from a single codebase. The app is easy to use, secure and decentralized.
#Matrix and #XMPP are two federated/decentralized instant messaging protocols. Both has its pros and cons. #Bifrost bridge is an effort to connect these two protocols. Currently the bridge does not support offline messages for XMPP users, making it unreliable for XMPP users.
The bridge being #FreeSoftware we want to fix this problem by adding support for offline messages to the bridge.
Has anyone experienced this, as an end user on either end of the bridge, or as a server admin connecting it? Is it getting much use? Does anyone know which protocol(s) are used by the bot to operate the bridge?
Nos gustaria tener una sala de #XMPP o #matrix para hacer instancias amigas de #peertube por tema de pruebas, federación. Algún admin/a/e aparte de @admin
@ctonysem I won't be able to influence the #Matrix developers that much. Better for those already registered there to raise awareness, even better if one is a developer too.
@lrvick I don't know why then #Matrix team didn't register the standards officially with a standards body such as #IETF, #W3C, #ISO or #OASIS. This is my major point. Without this, #Matrix team can change the specification as they see fit, without anyone even having a way to say no, nor a test period.
