I hate when that happens on mobile, do they think people have infinite data??

For me the image stays there the whole time.

You could try using an extension like stylus to change the css on the page to make the image behave how you like, but you’d need some knowledge of how css works.

I probably won’t try it because I want to use a federated solution like matrix, but that’s super cool! You could probably make a post about it.

Misleading headline, it’s only one of multiple “addictive features” they’re considering banning to make social media less addictive.

You might want to point that out, maybe they didn’t realise tenor was shutting down.

That’s awesome! It’s a shame the first pr got closed because the maintainer prefers a worse provider lmao.

Yes, but that would take more space and take more time to write, and “this replaces a letter” is how a lot of diacritics have appeared. For example, the ñ replaced a “nn” in spanish. This would also remove some ambiguity in pronunciation on words like rathole and foothill.

Also, letter like that are written with dead keys, usually, so it would be more like one new character.

Again, not worth the effort of changing, but it would be an improvement.

If you look at the MSC’s only half of it is, and to convince people to switch I’d need a reasonable fast (Sliding sync) client with native voice chat (matrixRTC) that has a somewhat discord-like UI.

So basically I just have to wait for cinny to implement that.

The

most clients adopt it

was the important part of my comment

I agree, but right now the clients aren’t quite mature enough. Once matrix 2.0 is done and merged and most clients adopt it it should be good

Klipy is probably a better option, afaik their api is a dropin replacement and the gif search is much better.

it would be, personally I would follow the rss feed for blog posts tagged “release” since the next release will be 2.0.

Not directly related but I don’t know where else I’ll get the chance to bring this up:

I’ve always though that if the existence of “th” bothers you, adding a diacritic to consonants to indicate the sound change makes more sense than the þ.

For instance,

the = ţe she = şe che = çe

Obviously I wouldn’t argue for replacing ţose compounds wiţ ţose I’ve şown, since it wouldn’t be close to being worth çanging, but I do ţink it would still make more sense ţan bringing back ţe ţorn.

Imo all it needs is for 2.0 to come out and for discord-like clients like cinny to mature to get to a point where it’s a good discord replacement, and both of those seem pretty close to happening.

It’s kind of confusing but: basically some matrix 2.0 features are implemented in an non-finished state by element X (and synapse) as a testbed for those features, but the actual features aren’t finalised or implemented in most clients. The MSC’s (matrix spec changes) aren’t merged, so clients won’t want to implement it.

2/4 of the MSC’s required for 2.0 are merged as of now, and the other two are close.

2024 was when those features began to be ready to be beta tested, but it takes a long time to get a protocol finalised, since it can’t be easily changed once done.

Think of it like a wayland protocol that isn’t merged, but a desktop, say kde, has an implementation already.

Basically working on all the matrix 2.0 stuff, which hasn’t landed yet, although it’s “almost done” now apparently.

Said matrix 2.0 stuff fixes encryption (i.e, makes it seamless like signal), proper voice and video chat and adds sliding sync which makes everything much faster

Something about an error dispatching to Wayland display.

Wierd, you can use it in the web browser though.

Afaik element has it as a semi-hidden option and cinny has it by default

Agree, not a big fan of element’s interface either. Imo the point where matrix will be widely recommendable is when matrix 2.0 is done and widely adopted. Stuff like sliding sync is really important too

That’s emberrassing, I misread people talking in an issue about an open pr (https://github.com/cinnyapp/cinny/pull/2599) with them talking about an existing feature. That pr does seem reasonably close to landing though.

afaik both fluffychat and cinny support it, but they don’t advertise it well.
