• Qilin: A Starter Project Template For Every Open Source Project

  GitHub Discussions can also be a great place for support as long as these are regularly monitored. Another option along the same lines is Discourse and the Open Source Matrix which is used by quite a few Open Source and community-based projects. - Source: dev.to / 24 days ago

• A man has been swatted 47 times for making a joke about Norm Macdonald

  Tangential: the article notes that Telegram is an “encrypted messaging app”. While this is technically true, it's worth keeping in mind that it's not end-to-end encrypted, so it's less secure in that regard than, say, Signal or even WhatsApp. Telegram does have opt-in end-to-end encrypted one-on-one chats, but those are very inconvenient to use. For a properly encrypted chat app, including group chats (opt-in),... - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

• Launching Default End-to-End Encryption on Messenger

  I'd love something like the Matrix [0] data model (JSON messages aggregated in an eventually-consistent chatroom CRDT) transmitted over something like simplex for metadata resistance. [0] https://matrix.org. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Meta is pulling the plug on Messenger chats on Instagram

  Trillian mod here. There's this new thing called Beeper, works on matrix.org. It's not as the good old times, but I'm currently using whatsapp, FB messenger, discord, telegram, signal, imessage and a few more. It's not Cerulean experience, but it's... Slowly improving. Source: 4 months ago

• Connect to Element One in Element X?

  I'm trying to change my account provider from "matrix.org" to whatever Element One needs, and for the life of me I just don't understand what values I have to put where to be able to log in. I tried `element.io`, which takes me to sso.element.io but this doesn't seem like the right thing (no credentials work as I expect. Source: 6 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

• WhatsApp would not remove end-to-end encryption for UK law, says chief

  That's essentially what we had with Jabber/XMPP [0] and OTR [1]. Since the encryption happened client-side, it would also work across networks. There was a time when Google chat, Facebook Messengers and other high profile chat networks could all interconnect through it. [0] https://xmpp.org/. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• XMPP Group Chat & Introduction

  I present to you a MUC I've created on the XMPP (also informally known as Jabber) network. I've put some thought into which network would be best fit and decided that, while IRC is an excellent way to chat, there is an apparent lack of mobile support and perhaps lacks the ability to choose a server of your choice. Furthermore, I've concluded for many years that Matrix isn't a good choice for multiple concerning... Source: over 1 year ago

• Why don’t other messaging apps support other apple devices?

  Interoperability of messaging used to be the case, and the underlying tech is there. At one point, Messages, AOL Instant Messenger, Facebook, and Google Talk / Hangouts / Voice all supported exchanging messages via the IETF XMPP (Jabber) messaging standard. Sometime in the mid 2010s, the services started removing XMPP support, presumably in an order to differentiate their platforms and lock people in. Source: almost 2 years ago
