tcfhgj··on Global warming will exceed 1.5-degree limit, UN says
> But it was technology action that is solving climate change.

what even is this?

> We don't need carbon taxes,

yes we need them, otherwise we will keep emitting CO2 as always

> We don't need carbon taxes, those turned out to misalign incentives in weird ways (not all industries are equally sensitive to carbon prices, so applying equal taxes is far less than economically ideal for motivationchanges).

so? the ones which are most sensitive (usually the ones with the highest footprint) will transition first, others will follow later with increasing cost of emitting co2 - not including difficulty which will rebalance the equation

> Tax credits and guaranteed small purchases turned out to be extremely effective and efficient.

what tax credits and what guaranteed small purchases? and how do they prevent greenhouse gas emissions? and why do we want them if technology already provides the incentives (your claim)?

1) renewable energy is only a part of climate action, it's not sufficient - renewable energy being cheap alone doesn't help a bit if you don't keep fossil fuel in the ground

2) not technology aligned societies incentive systems, but politics which a) incentivized producing electricity by renewable methods and punishing electricity produced by fossil fuels, which again encouraged research which in return made renewables mostly cheaper than fossil fuels - and we are lucky that the physics aligned with that.

I have never seen this error, and auto updates do work for me.

They are a blessing when auto updates were finally possible with the official F-Droid app.

> Matrix doesn't even support server-to-client message pushing, only polling. Which means, if you want your phone to receive a message while your client is in the background, you have to use a non-Matrix protocol to receive those.

(aside long polling which I cannot comment) why is this a even an issue?

Centralized push services (may it be FCM or unified push) are at this point well established.

As a user using a specific messenger app as a push service doesn't gain me anything, it only makes it more difficult to switch messenger app if i choose to use it and mostly use an additional push service (hurting battery life), because most receive push notifications via Google anyway.

1) solved by canonical Json many years ago, see https://spec.matrix.org/v1.19/appendices/#canonical-json (goes back to at least matrix 1.1 which was released 2021)

2) Why would open federation reject you? Given you don't throw away your private key

> Debatable, this mostly boils down to the client design choices and priorities, and has little to nothing to do with the protocol.

I think it does.

How would you as a client choose that the (potentially) encrypted chat history of all rooms is immediately available after logging in, let alone after joining an encrypted room?

You can't:

- how long messages are stored server side depends on someone else's server

- encrypted messages aren't recoverable from new sessions

Don't Element Continuwuity, Synapse, Sable, FluffyChat and more all implement Matrix RTC, because this is most likely the future of video calls in Matrix (while not even officially part of the spec at this point)?

> And, apparently from your comment, there's only ever going to be one encryption algorithm, because cryptography is a solved problem now?..

That's not from my comment. If there will be another one it likely will be integrated into THE specification such that it will NOT divide the ecosystem into "I prefer MEGOLM" and "I prefer to implement new thing".

not it isn't - still today there's no choice between incompatible room types or incompatible encryption algorithms and whatever else.

tcfhgj··on Jabber/XMPP: 25 Years of Digital Independence
Actually, Matrix has a series of server and client implementations.

Servers: https://matrix.org/ecosystem/servers/

Clients: https://matrix.org/ecosystem/clients/

Also, imho Matrix is a better standard than xmpp, because of what PunchHamster said and the better feature set. Of course, everyone is entitled to their own opinion :)
