• How does this sub feel about remote work?

  Middle managers not adapting. When my old job when remote for Covid, my manager would hold telecons, despite having access to videoconference software with the capability to document and screen share (IT setup BigBlueButton ). He would talk to slides we couldn't see, and we were lucky if he sent them out in email before hand. Source: 11 months ago

• IMPORTANT: It looks like the schools are turning into a warzone and too dangerous for children. People are hoping to shift education online (avoiding the regime platforms). We are looking for something like a persian Khan Academy. If you know any platforms or ideas about this please comment here.

  Https://bigbluebutton.org/ is a free and open source classroom software. I would stick to indiependent and free software in your situation. Source: about 1 year ago

• Web based Video/audio chat solution with high quality single presenter video?

• Germany Forces a Microsoft 365 Ban Due to Privacy Concerns

  Big Blue Button (https://bigbluebutton.org) is one. We actually used it at work for meetings but it seems they have since pivoted to be for more virtual classroom. I agree though, even that would need decent IT talent to setup and maintain. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Twitter’s Encrypted DMs Are Deeply Inferior to Signal and WhatsApp. The social network's new privacy feature is technically flawed, opt-in, and limited in its functionality. All this for just $8 a month.

  I love how Matrix or its most popular client Element do not even get a mention. Source: 12 months ago

• A new onboarding experience on Mastodon

  The title undersells the change a bit in my opinion. By default, mastodon now encourages new users to sign-up on https://mastodon.social which has caused a bit of a kerfuffle in the fediverse. Personally, I'm largely ambivalent to the change; I understand the reasoning, and it's what https://element.io has been doing for https://matrix.org since the beginning. It is more than a bit of a sea-change though given the... - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago

• Paying users get early access to the new change

  We currently have the Matrix protocol, with client applications such as Element supporting it. We also have XMPP as another option. Generally more modern than IRC, these platforms are primarily developed as FOSS software. This makes it less likely for developers to impact their users negatively. However, despite these advantages, these platforms lack the refined user experience (addictiveness and stickiness) that... Source: 12 months ago

  Please DM me if you are interested in hiring me or have any questions at all. We will work via Element (https://element.io) voice/screen share calls, so please make sure you have a mic available. I look forward to hearing from you. Source: 12 months ago

  Your best bet is probably matrix, the most user friendly client iirc is element. Source: almost 1 year ago
