Uuuh, apparently an underlying problem with matrix-js-sdk that breaks even third-party clients? Nothing works, such a classic. :D

Guess I'm locked out of my private DMs again! Such trustworthy software, very Discord-alternative, much wow.

#Matrix #Element

The Matrix client "Cinny" throwing an error when a Recovery Key was provided: "getSecretStorageKey callback returned falsey". The function "getSecretStorageKey" is part of the official Matrix javascript SDK.

@harld Could we please add
@element
For instant Messaging apps, as an alternative to Whatsapp, Signal etc..

It should have a Non-US ( #Element is based in UK), and a Privacy label.
Also, it is #opensource and #federated

Although many people are flocking to #signal now (which is a lot better then Whatsapp), Signal can not be controlled by US government, it can be taken down by them. At this point, even that should be taken into account.
Element uses the #Matrix protocol. It is awsum

ES | En España es casi imposible no utilizar #Whatsapp. Practicamente nadie utiliza alguna plataforma de mensajería encriptada como y europea como Wire, Threema o Element. Alguno conoce otra aplicación de mensajeria que se utilice en España?

Ich benutz' #matrix/​#element (vormals #riot) ja nun schon wirklich viele Jahre. Es gibt immer wieder neue Dinge, die mich an der Alltags-Tauglichkeit zweifeln lassen.

Heute: ein Chatraum endet mit dieser Nachricht. Immerhin gibt es einen Link zu einem scheinbar identischen Raum. Kein Hinweis, warum. Kein Hinweis, was anders ist. Einfach "du musst jetzt hier klicken, und die gesamte vorige Konversation ist übrigens weg. KTHXBYE".

Meldung am Ende eines Matrix-Raums: Dieser Raum wurde ersetzt und ist nicht länger aktiv. Die Konversation wird hier fortgesetzt. (lezteres ist ein Link zu einem anderen Raum).

Reminder that #signal is as trustworthy as #telegram or #whatsapp.

- Moxie traded goodwill to launch a privately-held cryptocurrency in-app
- Moxie performed the security theatre of helping Meta implement double-ratchet for an advertising-driven US corp which publishes binary blobs (a completely unverifiable achievement)

Look to federation #matrix #element or closed platforms with better provenance/business models/applicable laws #threema. Options at european-alternatives.eu/alter. #degoogle #buyeu

Trying to export chat history from the previous #Matrix server. Good thing the "export chat" dialog in #Element has an option that allows selecting "from the beginning", so that you can download the whole history instead of having to scroll way up first.

*selects that*
*exports chat*
*looks into resulting JSON*

first message: "** Unable to decrypt: […]"

*scrolls all the way up in the chat*
*exports again*

resulting JSON now has the message instead of an error

_Why_ are we using this shit?!

Joined a new #Matrix server. Opened the room listing. Saw a room for a project that sounded interesting. They had a link to their website in the room topic. So, from the "explore public rooms" list of rooms, I clicked the link.

A new tab opened with the project's website. Did some reading, decided that it's not that interesting to me after all. Closed the tab.

Came back to the #Element tab to discover that it had me join the room, too.

God I love the Matrix experience so much. 🙄
