beep boop
Im confused by this list. It includes the matrix server implementations synapse and continuwuity, but not matrix itself or any of its clients. The only matrix client that could reasonably replace discord is element but its not even there.
The initial release was literally 7 HOURS ago so its not really recommendable yet at all. Idk why it keeps getting spammed here today.
Stoat has been around for 5 years and used to be called Revolt until recently.

Neither are e2ee or federated so not particularly future proof or enshittification resistant unless you self host (which most people dont…)
I see. I havent selfhosted any matrix servers yet, so i havent looked into it too much. But yeah its kind of an intimidating process to set these up when i look at the guides. I know that there are a few server implementations besides synapse that are mature and stable (and supposedly much more resource efficient) and they do support docker deployment. All of these including synapse can however be run on a raspberry pi so there isnt really any big requirements other than keeping it up to date and doing backups of your databases.
Glad to help. Always good to have an open source option :)

Im hissing in this picture (peak around 7kHz) and there is a loud AC unit going which is all the low frequency humming on the left. It just uses your built in mic so thats going to be the biggest limitation in terms of precision, but it works very well even with that as you can see.
I admit i mostly use matrix as an instant messenger, but it works fine for when i need comms with my friends while gaming or when i want to share my screen for something. My university also has its own deployment so all the people around me automatically have an account anyway, which makes it easy to set up groupchats.
Sure it still has some jank to it, but if you look at how janky it used to be even just a year ago, the trajectory is pretty clear to me. Its a very ambitious project that arguably tried to do too much at once in its early days, but i think its here to stay and its only gonna get better. If its not good enough for you today, then just wait another year or two until it is. Its not going away because its being used basically everywhere at this point. Government, healthcare, military, university, private industry, schools, etc.
Also completely new with no other contributors. Stay the fuck away from this until its been in development for a while and someone reviewed the code.
then you can use matrix
Been using it for a while and it works quite well for what it is. It also overlays the translated text on the original image which is nice. The translation engine is the exact same one as the one in firefox and its forks, so dont expect deepl levels but its still perfectly fine for most casual use cases.
The post that you are commenting under.
The post mentions revenue stream, so its about people going with slop software instead of normal one. In other words replacement.
Put a lil salt on em and its a genuinely great snack.
I recently bought my sister a used Thinkpad X280 for 90€ on ebay. Was in perfect condition, has multiple USBC ports with display support and is super compact and light at ~1.2kg
The biggest issue to avoid is ones where the previous owner put too much pressure on the top while folded, which can leave the display with dents from the keyboard being pressed into it.
Booting from USB drives has worked well for me
Which they obviously would, because they are all from the same pack.
No genuine good open source project is dying because it is getting replaced by LLM slop code. People that need stable and secure software and know what they are doing would never use LLM made software.
What LLMs do destroy is peoples patience in dealing with bug reports and forum communication. Those are getting overrun with LLM generated garbage replies.
Fear mongering right wing media machine goes brrrrrr
Same thing in Germany with crime in general constantly dropping while anti immigration sentiment keeps rising under the excuse of “violent immigrants”
Google Drive, Dropbox or Onedrive?
I only use syncthing (website / android app) for all my file syncing needs. Its peer to peer so requires no server or account, but its not like a cloud where you download stuff on demand, but rather a way to keep folders of your choosing always synchronised/mirrored between your devices.
So in practice i have my pictures, music, documents and keepassxc database (password manager) folders synced to my desktop and then i have a “stuff” folder for random junk i want to exchange between my phone, desktop, laptop, tablet, etc.
It might not be for everyone, but my family and i love it, because stuff is just instantly there when you need it. We also have a family folder now that is synced to all of us so we can exchange large numbers of pictures, videos, movies, music, etc.
It doesnt support publishing things to people that arent using syncthing though, so if you want to be able to just send a browser openable link to people to share stuff, then you should look to nextcloud instead.
As others said, large meetings with many video feeds at the same time.
Idk but apparently the dev of tuwunel was a dick about the fork splitting.
