As someone who is doing disaster response consulting for healthcare and public health: I fucking love you guys. You make my job sooo much easier.

Seriously.

The surveillance you folks do is pretty much indisputable and far more incorruptible compared to everything else we do, in healthcare especially.

Very often you are my "discussion ending gun" when decision makers endlessly want me to prove their (flawed) point of view. A "nope, here are validated wastewater based numbers, you are wrong" is extremely satisfying sometimes.

Thanks folks!

Consulting in healthcare/public health/public safety

Thanks for confirming that you're full of shit.

Because there are very very few Sliding Synch (which is the part of X that makes it faster) instances at the moment and only one that has a major userbase.....

And on which instance did you experience that?

Depends. If you use an intermediary layer like Yunohost/Cloudron/etc. or now your way around docker it's manageable easily.

Very unlikely by now, these issues have been adressed a while ago.

Matrix is slow on large instances, but that's not the case here, especially if no federation is done.

And the issue with sluggishness is currently the main development focus with ElementX/matrixX that will become mainstream matrix soon. With that even the large instances are extremely fast.

A good game,yes,but not really a classical beat cop/police work game.

Yeah,the first games were quite good. I actually know someone who got into policing because of these games - and was a full detective by the time Open Season released - who was appalled by this Open Season and the following games.

It's a shame,really,because after that there weren't any good "beat cop" games to this day anymore, at least I am not aware of any. (Police Simulator is well... not having any story and so PG-washed that it's basically parking enforcement...)

Yeah, it's interesting base for some applications. We will see how good the compatibility is in the end.

Sorry,but have you at least read the wikipedia article before writing this post?

Matrix is a standard. Not an App. Just like Lemmy is.

There are dozens of clients (Element, Schildichat, Fuzzychat, Beeper) available to download for basically every system imaginable and in all major Appstores.

You can easily join an existing instance - and with beeper there is even one existing that handles all the bridges for you.

Only when you self-host it gets more tricky-just like it does with Lemmy(as a matter of fact Matrix is far easier to selfhost than Lemmy). And again there are various distributions available. They aren't as easy as the clients and not as easy as flatpacks, but someone who has done their due diligence can absolutely handle them easily. (And self-hosting should absolutely not be "as easy as flatpacks/snaps" - the risk for both the admin and the net itself is too high). But again: The average user has little incentive to selfhost. Just like you don't selfhost your Lemmy instance.

The Matrix environment is as easy to use as Signal, Threema, WhatsApp for ages now. In some points I would even argue that it's more user friendly than Signal,btw.

I don't have the time nor the crayons to explain that to you.
