Its self hostable now, and I’m my playing around with the self hosted version it seems fine

Its honestly really good now in my experience. Honestly wish people used it instead of Zoom.

Ive been using Jitsi for screen sharing and calls :p

I’m pretty sure its supposed to be Discord. Discords tagline used to start with “Imagine a place where X” which is why theyre saying “Imagine a matrix client” lol

This looks interesting, and if they can get VC & E2EE it will definitely be something I’ll make the switch to from Matrix. As much as I love Matrix, it feels very messy and uncoordinated.

Did you try Cinny?

I CAN’T 😭😭 THIS SHIT GOT MERGED

If they were to be independently audited by multiple Privacy firms and/or open source their codebase I wouldnt be as concerned about giving them data and maybe even paying for something like YTPremium, but as it stands its a black box. I dont know what theyre doing, why should they get to know what I’m doing? Privacy should be a two way street imho. If the cost of privacy is that they wouldnt be able to maintain their infrastructure, I’d rather see their company fail.

Does google/patreon do country/state/county/province tax calculation? I’d be surprised as when I was working DoorDash they wouldnt even do as much as a free trial of TurboTax to get you started. The wrote you a check and it was on you to figure the rest out

This isnt entirely true. They can fingerprint your browser very easily, even if you use always private sessions that delete cookies. Something as simple as the size of your window can be used to identify you.

Yeah this is also a frustration I have. I dont want to sign up for patreon or Google just to support someone. Give me a Kofi, liberapay or monero option.

None of the creators I want to follow are on peertube, and I have no social media to ask them to move, nor do I want to engage with those platforms.

I mean, people are allowed to have opinions. They may not be good opinions but thats the glory of opinions. You can Gordon Ramsey someone’s codebase, and someone else can Gordon Ramsey their comment, as you just did.

Same thing here, all AMD/Wayland with no issues outside of the ones I cause :p

GrayJay and CloudStream are the only two things that I’m aware of that support it yet. This is a very new application, it hasn’t really officially launched yet.

If you turn off the telemetry like I said in my comment that no longer becomes an issue. In terms of blocking your digital fingerprint Brave is going to be better than every popular Chromium based browser. See the link I posted in the original comment.

If you want Something you can set up and forget, use YUNOHOST, otherwise learn how to use docker containers and pick any server distro. Debian, Fedora Server, Ubuntu Server, MicroOS, hell OpenWrt will all do fine.

Theres an extension you can manually install that will automatically install extensions now. its pretty cool

If I were you and needed to use a chromium based browser, I would go for brave with maximum privacy settings turned on and all the Crypto shit and brave “features” turned off. Ungoogled chromium is a good project but its not as refined as Brave is. See here: https://privacytests.org/

If I were you I’d go for Librewolf or Mullvad browser if you dont need Chromium. The reason people say this is because Google has a sort of monopoly on the browser space right now as Chromium takes up Almost 80% of the marketshare, meaning that Google will ultimately get to decide what features live, and what features die. If Chromium market share was down at 40% or so, it wouldnt matter if you used Brave or not, but thats the reality we live in.
