    Kann man in Gruppen irgendwie einen #Bot einfügen der automatisiert um bestimmten Uhrzeiten an bestimmten Tagen Nachrichten versendet?
    Kann man überhaupt einen Bot einfügen?

  3. Erster Eindruck bisher: #ElementX rendert die Nachrichten deutlich sauberer und schicker als #ElementClassic.

    Feature-mäßig scheint aber noch einiges zu fehlen, z.B. scheint man nicht mehr zur ersten ungelesenen Nachricht springen zu können?

    Die Text-Suchfunktion scheint auch nicht mehr existent zu sein?

    Mal ganz davon abgesehen, dass die Einstellmöglichkeiten mehr als spärlich sind.

  5. Ich finde #Signalmessenger bzw. @mollyim so viel besser als #threema libre
    Ich habe beim Osterevent einen code erhalten und dachte jetzt habe ich die Chance den Familienchat zu Threema zu verlagern, aber die UI gefällt mir nicht so und das komischte ist, warum ist das Kamera Icon so weit weg? Ich mache doch eher ein Foto mit der Kamera als eine Umfrage zu starten, ein Kontakt zu versenden oder meinem Standort zu teilen. Vielleicht gewöhnungssache, aber da gefällt mir #ElementX besser.

  6. @kaschmir #whatsapp ist die Heilige Kuh in allen Freundeskreisen und der ultimative Endgegner. Hab den Schritt zu #elementx dennoch gemacht und laufe eine Zeitlang parallel. Eventuell werde ich dann selbst eine Instanz hosten. #signal wäre auch OK, aber in den #usa gehostef und damit vielleicht bald außer Kontrolle.

  7. Ich habe gerade herausgefunden, dass man in #ElementX das Profilbild nach oben/unten swipen kann, um den Account zu wechseln.

  8. Jonge meiden kwetsbaar in 'meidenhuizen' op WhatsApp: 'Iedereen kan meekijken' | Tech | NU.nl
    nu.nl/tech/6387954/jonge-meide

    Vanaf de opkomst van zowel social media als beveiligde communicatie (zoals WhatsApp) heb ik beide vormen altijd heel gescheiden gehouden. Vooral om ook voor mezelf duidelijk te houden wat openbaar is en wat niet.

    Het vermengen wat WhatsApp doet is vragen om 'ongelukken'.

    Wat dit betreft zijn er veiliger alternatieven.

  9. I don't know why the newer version of Element on Android is called as Element X. Perhaps it is intentional to have the session on setting call it as "Element X Android", like some sort of crossover from both Element and Android.

    (This post is a joke. I state this here in case the joke flew over anyone's head.)

  10. Is it just me or does #elementx gaslight me to open the app.
    I keep getting notifications saying "you have new messages" when there aren't any.

    @element

  11. I noticed something. My Element X app stopped giving notification and showing error message again. After closer inspection, "manage app if unused" is being toggled on and it is the reason.

    Previously, I had to tick "unoptimized" in app battery usage setting. Apparently, it was not enough.

  12. Que interessante, Whastapp já toda a gente sabe que é 🤮, para quem preza privacidade há o Signal, é do mais seguro que existe, mas temos a alternativa europeia, não tão segura como o Signal, mas muito melhor que o Whatsapp, descentralizada como o Mastodon e que a NATO estava a testar para comunicações entre o pessoal que não sejam tratadas com o nível confidencial, através do protocolo que serve de base ao Element X, o Matrix.

  13. What the heck is wrong with :matrix: ? We're looking for a platform for communication during a larger measurement campaign and from the featureset concluded with either or Matrix (subgroups, archivable, mobile/desktop/web clients, etc.).

    But the app and app just won't even list the rooms in our space (on matrix.org, maybe that's the problem...), they just load forever. No problem in element web or . What. the. heck.

  18. I really like Element X. It is clean, straightforward and simply works. Wish I could convince more people to use it - hopefully the adoption will increase in coming years. Signal is “okay”, but Element X feels truly sovereign - and European. Curious? Take a look here: element.io/en

  19. Element | Secure collaboration and messaging
    element.io/

    Als overheden t gebruiken, moet t ook wel geschikt zijn voor een gewone jongen.

    Ook maar eens een knoop doorgehakt.
    Matrix maar eens als backup bij Signal geïnstalleerd. Dat maakt WhatsApp makkelijker af te koppelen. Een tweede netwerk in stand houden is toch wel zo handig.

    Bijkomend voordeel: er is geen telefoonnummer nodig, dus kan eigenlijk elk apparaat een eigen gebruiker.

  20. Soviel zum Thema #Matrix ist besser! Ja es ist besser beim einsammeln von Daten! Nur #Threema speichert keine #Metadaten und auch keine IP-Adressen. #Element #ElementX #Amdocs #Datenschutz #Privatsphäre

  21. 5 fundierte Gründe, warum man einen großen Bogen um #Matrix bzw. #Element machen muss: www.heise.de/forum/heise-... #Element gibt sogar offen zu, dass sie MetaDaten sammeln "...but we might profile metadata..." element.io/de/legal/pri... #ElementX

  22. Does anyone have any experience with #ElementX and/or #SimpleX as viable alternatives for WhatsApp/Messenger/Signal? Are they any good, particularly for group chats and video calls?

  23. Additionally, several granular privacy features are missing, which is a limitation that should not be overlooked, including hiding your profile pic from certain people etc.

    One is also unable to search bridged messengers' contacts, which is a huge limitation implemented brilliantly by Beeper.

  24. I am currently testing Element X iOS and it appears to be functioning well, including with bridges integrating other messengers.

    However, the tech-jargon used is difficult to comprehend and may be confusing for users. A more intuitive naming convention, such as calling chats ‘chats’ and groups ‘groups’, would likely facilitate adoption. Instead, the platform uses ‘Rooms’ and ‘Spaces’, which lack clear definitions.

  25. Pues hoy, tras una buena temporada, he vuelto a husmear un poco en #Matrix a ver cómo marcha la cosa.

    Sigue sin gustarme #Element, ahora reemplazada por #ElementX.

    He probado también con #SchildiChat, que ahora está tambien reemplazada por #SchildiChatNext, y... joer, es que es Element con peluca. Literalmente, es la misma app y solo le añaden una cosa llamada "Tortu-extras" que son dos opcioncillas insignificantes.

    Sigo sin verle razón de ser a Matrix, no aporta nada respecto a XMPP y encima huele mal.

  28. More from #snikket / #xmpp exploration

    Just had an audio and video call working with a family member, which is more than I ever managed with #matrix / #elementx

    The final piece of the puzzle is integrating #slidge so that I can keep in contact with the rest of the family from one app, and then it's decommissioning time...

  29. #livekit Installation für #Matrix #Web-RTC in naitve rootless Pods via #Quadlet.

    Ich muss zu meiner Schande gestehen, dass ich bei der Integration von #systemd massiv auf AI zurückgegriffen habe. Bin mir nicht sicher, ob ich das allein hin bekommen hätte.

    Das muss einfacher werden!

    Jetzt fehlt noch die Anbindung an den ReverseProxy, dann sollten A/V-Calls auch mit #ElementX klappen.

  33. The idea of Matrix as a chat service is nice. But the fact that it keeps going out of sync, and I keep losing messages from other people is just plain annoying. This is worse than IRC net split (at least there was a message when it happened).

  35. Another #HowTo, this time how to use #Signal on #Android without giving it broad media permissions.

    Signal does not use the 2 possible secure methods of accessint photos that Android offers, and clones #Whatsapp in that regard.

    By insisting on needing access to read all your images, while being a complex app connected to the internet, and the only official versions containing proprietary #Google #blobs.

    Links:
    - community.signalusers.org/t/46
    - community.signalusers.org/t/55

    Other messengers like #SimpleX, #Element, #ElementX, #Fluffychat, #Conversations, #Threema and more save themselves the effort and just use the builtin options, improving security by design and unnecessary code bloat.

    So, how can I use Signal without trusting it with all my images?

    1. Use the "Share" Portal.

    That is the obvious one, and a very nice feature on Android. It allows to share any media to an application and giving it access to only that.

    This also works across the #WorkProfile or #PrivateSpace and can be used by Apps like #SaveTo to transfer files.

    The workflow is often slower than just using the media chooser portal, but it works. It is what I use since years.

    2. Android hacks

    But this is not all. Setting a profile picture or group profile picture does not work through the share portal. So we use a Feature specific to Androids Sandbox:

    - All apps can save files to various default directories like Pictures, Movies, Music, Downloads, Documents; without having read access to it.
    - And all apps can access files they themself saved there.

    Combining these two features, you can send a picture to Signal and use the "Save locally" button to save it from within the app.

    The result is that this picture will be visible in Signals internal gallery and can be selected for profile and group pictures.

    Obvious downsides are
    - it is a stupid workflow
    - it duplicates images that you need to delete manually afterwards
    - pictures might be compressed twice, losing quality

    But for this very limited purpose, it is kinda fine.

    Still, @signalapp please solve this very old issue!
