I just saw that I never replied to this. And all good sense would tell me to forget this. But the notification was looking at me so cheekily, so here we are.
You haven't cited a paper. You linked an article in a popular science puplicarion that refers to a letter.
New Vector forked the matrix foundation owned projects for synapse, dendrite, and element, and pulled all their devs, changing the license and bringing them under closer control. The foundation repos are now archived, and only the new vector owned ones are being actively developed. They sell an enterprise license for their element server suite that, at least according to their copy, seems more performant, and also offers admin tools that the free version lacks.
If you want to run a public instance that allows registration, you pretty much need some kind of external admin tool for moderation.
It's of course still better than pretty much all proprietary options, but also quite some room for improvement.
Take this with a grain of salt, I don't have it deployed right now, but if I remember the current state correctly, one on one calls are a thing, group calls aren't.
I'm pretty sure that warning used to be on the UEFI download page for Biostar boards, but they've completely redesigned it, so if it was them, it isn't there anymore.
I've seen some Asus and MSI Boards getting only uefi updates marked as beta, with the next update, months later, also being marked as beta. With Asus, there have been allegation that they try to get out of warranty claims this way.
I've had less problems with Dell and Lenovo, which probably comes from them being more enterprise focused. I think the problem is that the for the average consumer, uefi updates are last on their mind when picking a board.
Apple, and, to a lesser degree, Lenovo and Dell, seem hardly comparable, since their focus isn't selling mainboards as a stand-alone component.
I saw 6 bands during 2 concerts last week, three of them kinda rock/blues, three of them metal. All of them drank water from normal water bottles while on stage. No one cared.
What I don't like about Matrix is that it's most visible homeserver and client implementations feel like they are being developed as a product by New Vector Ltd., not a community project.
The lack of group voice calls is what mainly kept me from adopting that. Hope they get that working soon.
Yeah. I an hosting a homeserver for my ttrpg groups, but it doesn't have any federation enwbled at all, and sign ups are invite-only.
The amount of work needed to moderate a public instance, especially with the lacking tools available, seems crazy. Also, I don't love it that New Vector has an implementation for an admin console, that seems to be available exclusively for paying subscribers to the enterprise version of their element server suite.
This implies a world in which motherboard vendors actually regularly publish updates for their boards, or publish information about a board being officially end-of-life, which, for many consumer boards, just isn't the case.
Some vendors still have a red flag on their support page discouraging uefi updates unless you're actively experiencing problems.
One thing that Proton does better than Tuta - allowing PGP encryption. Like, if you want to send an encrypted Message with Tuta, to someone who doesn't have a Tuta account, it needs to be a link and a password.
The idea of E-Mail is that it should be as vendor agnostic as possible. Tuta has a walled garden vibe. Securely e2e with other tuta users, but unencrypted with pretty much everyone else.
Though it also took quite a while for Proton Mail to integrate PGP properly.
I'm in Germany, and it works pretty fine. They've got several datacenters around here, never had an issue with speed or latency.
I don't like that they got that evil megacorp vibe, but what big Internet firm doesn't?
Well, I need to run two separate tunnels to not run into hairpinning issue, so, some weirdness, I guess. More down to my services, though.
Ich würde ja behaupten, dass speziell dieses Privateigentum gerade von Rechten geschützt wird. Würde sogar sagen Rechtsextremen.
