Sounds like it’ll be worth playing the first, then. I’ll do that! Thanks for the info.

Shouldn’t one play Undertale first? Is it a sequel or a spiritual successor?

Yep.

I’m with you. I’m curious how it’ll go.

The response is less of a response, more of an explanation of their current feelings pertaining to matrix. Seems odd when Matthew made some clear, individual points that could’ve been addressed.

Except the premium offering pretty much just relates to media upload limit. I’m honestly surprised that they even allowed people to upload as much as they do.

Makes sense to limit free users (will also help with spam) if they’re not drowning in VC money.

It doesn’t affect you in the slightest, other than it might further fund Synapse’s/the spec’s development meaning your server might get new features.

Yes, this would be a great feature - but it’s a big issue to implement. It’s talked about in this video, worth watching if you’re curious about it.

As far as status go, this issue on the matrix spec is what you want to follow.

I am!

I need Charlotte’s take on more things.

As a guy who spent the majority of his life in a dictatorship, you’re correct: be very careful of what you say online.

There’s a point that they eventually get to where they just send law enforcement after you for things like tweets - they do it to make examples of folk, so they end up casting a very wide net. It’s definitely not worth getting caught in it.

Having said that, I still like the US! Just need to apply the usual fascist state warnings from now on: watch what you say, mind who you spend time with, and watch where you go. Avoid large crowds etc. etc.

Agents provocateurs spotted! The top comment guy was right all along!

OP is a fan of a game, and is excited for its release. So excited that OP is making in-jokes from that game’s fan-community without regard for whether the references are understood or not.

It doesn’t.

It has features for video/voice calling - E.g. Background blurring and stuff like that. It just lacks the stuff that would make it usable for gaming.

Works great if you don’t want/need PTT.

I meant for video. The classic coturn connection is fine for voice - though I wish it had push to talk. 🥲

Or they could choose to host their rooms on some existing server, I guess.

I mean, that’s sort of the point, right? Don’t host unless you want to.

There are lots of great, long lasting servers with open registration out there. This blog post has some good examples:

• envs.net
• tchncs.net

“something running” - do you mean the server binary? Because, yes, if you’re using your own server you do need it to be running. Same for the client, I guess? I guess I don’t really understand what you meant by that.

Some obscure service relied on it as a support channel and last thing I remember is that matrix server stopped working.

That’s an issue with any federated service, yeah. If the server is down, it’s down. But as a bonus, unlike Discord, when a server is down you can just move to another. So, honestly, I see that as a boon.

As far as p2p goes, there was an effort to make that a while back, but it looks like people lost interest.

Though, personally I think federation is good enough. That’s why I’m on Lemmy/the Fediverse, after all.

Technically speaking, Element does have “voice and video rooms” available as an experimental feature, but until it’s out of prime time it totally makes sense to wait.

Gotta remember that Element/New Vector (the company spearheading Matrix’s development) is getting funded mostly by orgs who are looking for a replacement for internal comms like Slack or WhatsApp.

This is outdated and no longer preferred, it now has its own internal system called Element Call (aka an implementation of MatrixRTC).
