@Natanox @matrix @hazelich PR is here, https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix.org/pull/3212.

@Natanox @matrix @hazelich Well, Element Web is less bad than Element Classic. It is okay-ish you ask me :-p.

@Natanox @flaki Can you send a report/problem/rageshake please? Are you on matrix.org?

@Natanox @matrix @hazelich Element X works on macOS. Otherwise there is Element Web and Element Desktop.

@Natanox @matrix @hazelich This is matrix.org, not element.io. Gonna fix that.

@Natanox @matrix @hazelich Also, don’t be sorry. It’s important to express your frustration so that we can solve them :-).

@Natanox @matrix @hazelich I don’t know why you keep saying calls are not supported. Element X supports it and soon will replace Element Classic (which is horrible, I know).

@Natanox @matrix @hazelich Good news: Element X does have audio and video calls.

Encryption is almost invisible today.

There is stuff to complain about. But calls are pretty stable today. I use it multiple times per day.

@Natanox @matrix @hazelich What features are you missing? Serious question. Threads, spaces, calls (audio and video) are here.

@fabrice @nemobis Signal is both a protocol and a “company”. Matrix can’t leave countries, but Element _could_.

Element is promoting open sourceness and is fighting against Chat Control as much as possible (follow @Amandine, she is doing a tremendous work on that front, not only for Element but for the Open Source communities and all citizens in Europe). The work is done directly in Europe commissions, forums etc., rather than making bold announcements. A different strategy, different means.

Matrix is quietly becoming the chat layer for governments chasing digital sovereignty, https://www.theregister.com/2026/02/09/matrix_element_secure_chat/.

Hm, did something happen over at Discord?

Recorded my screen.

MP4: 6.7Mib
WebM: 1.5Mib
AV1: 330Kib (!!)

Pretty impressive.

Je sais on l’a déjà fait, et malgré 2 millions de signatures, ça n’a rien donné.
Maintenant, imaginez qu’on recommence, les médias en parleront comme la 1 ère fois, y a un moment ça va commencer à se voir qu’on n’est plus en démocratie.
Ca ne coute que 2 minutes de votre temps. Si vous avez signé la première fois, pourquoi ne pas signer la seconde fois.
À force de persévérance, on peut y arriver

Et surtout, on repouette.

time 0.3.47 has been released. Of note is the crate's second-ever security advisory. Maliciously crafted user input, when parsed with the RFC 2822 format, can exhaust the stack. Credit to Marek Kroemeke from Cloudflare for bringing this to my attention!

Aside from the patch, there are additional performance gains, more compile-time checks, and improved ergonomics.

Please consider sponsoring my work it you find this useful! Every bit helps.

@ekaitz_zarraga Why purposely?

I don’t see the point of the article except claiming that Zig isn’t memory safe targeting the audience of people believing the opposite.

@aeveltstra Yes probably!
