I have now filed a bug report about the web version of #Element (the flagbearing #Matrix client) constantly using/waking my CPU while it is unfocused in a background tab in Firefox: github.com/element-hq/element-

I'm hoping I'm not the only one observing this issue, and that some power saving improvements can be made, because to me this would look like a big drain on battery life for modern #laptops that *need* you to let their CPUs sleep while idle.

Steps to reproduce Launch Firefox with just one normal static website loaded (ex: this GitHub ticket), observe CPU usage to be roughly 0% on idle. Open a Firefox tab to app.element.io (with your us...

ElementX is *so* much faster than the current stable versions of Element and its various soft forks (I'm currently using SchildiChat).

As I've said before, I'm guessing it will take another 6-12 months for all the Matrix 2.0 upgrades to be rolled out and fully stabilized in the various app and server software. But if ElementX performance is anything to go by, the new and improved Matrix ecosystem will be well worth an open-minded test.

Some subtle advertising here from Element/Matrix

I wonder what inspired them?

Need to manage group chats? Use our identity management and group access controls to synchronise with sources such as Microsoft Active Directory. Element gives governments a consumer-style messaging app, but with enterprise-grade control.

I said it before on Mastodon. I'm reposting this again. Comparing #DeltaChat and #Matrix together, if you want hassle free and consistent messenger for private #E2EE chats, don't go for Matrix. DeltaChat is way better.

However, if you want something like a public forum, or a public chatroom, don't go for DeltaChat. Matrix is way better suited for that. And DeltaChat does not support public groups at all. In DeltaChat groups, there is no admin or moderator and everyone have got permission to remove or add the others.

I think I have to write a longer post on my personal blog about these two, comparing them together.

PS: Another Matrix encryption bug few minutes ago triggered repost of this.

The internet, from its inception, was created as a tool of mass surveillance. Yasha Levine traces the origins of the web in his book, and how its origins in counter insurgency shape its function today

P.S. I recommend everyone encrypts all their communications. I recommend using Element Client to do this. Good Luck

@duuk @bitsoffreedom Nóg n reden om niet met elkaar hier in europa niet Signal maar b.v. #element / #matrix te gaan gebruiken. Daar speelt ook dat probleem niet.

Begrijp me goed, de massale overstap naar Signal is een stap in de goede richting, maar niet de oplossing waar we uiteindelijk moeten zijn.

Naast jouw bezwaar, is het niet federatief, en wel volledig gevestigd in de VS. Dus erg kwetsbaar voor ons hier.

Uuuh, apparently an underlying problem with matrix-js-sdk that breaks even third-party clients? Nothing works, such a classic. :D

Guess I'm locked out of my private DMs again! Such trustworthy software, very Discord-alternative, much wow.

#Matrix #Element

Ich benutz' #matrix/​#element (vormals #riot) ja nun schon wirklich viele Jahre. Es gibt immer wieder neue Dinge, die mich an der Alltags-Tauglichkeit zweifeln lassen.

Heute: ein Chatraum endet mit dieser Nachricht. Immerhin gibt es einen Link zu einem scheinbar identischen Raum. Kein Hinweis, warum. Kein Hinweis, was anders ist. Einfach "du musst jetzt hier klicken, und die gesamte vorige Konversation ist übrigens weg. KTHXBYE".
