I just poked on the demo and I think it could, however it might be a bit clunky. Maybe could be a viable thing to request of the dev. Maybe alongside a donation for a sort of bounty.

For the android users, just gonna put this here

I think it’s gonna end up being bad. Mainly because most people are gonna hear on Fox News that this was due to some flaw in Signal, and just take that at face value. A lot of people are not gonna even read an article about why or what even happened.

Just wanna be clear that this didn’t happen because of some technical flaw/vulnerability in Signal. This was completely Human Error

I think the point they’re making is you can effectively have a self hosted non federated option with Matrix. Just disable federation as a whole (which I’m pretty sure is completely possible. Given companies use matrix for comms, and might not want federation, for similar reasons to what is being discussed here)

Why would it make sense? Currently on Android, RCS isn’t a system level thing like SMS is. So Signal won’t easily be able to pull it in. Unless they implement their own implementation of RCS and the Universal Profile.

SG1 represent. A lot of people say it’s old and campy, but I love it so much

Tbf, I am not a grey beard chief engineer, and I strongly prefer VHDL for design. For verification I actually really like SystemVerilog.

VHDL is strongly types, which prevents a lot of issues with types that I’ve hit with [System]Verilog.

Also, having learned VHDL first, I think it is easier to go from VHDL to Verilog, as opposed to vice versa. And this is mainly because VHDL is stricter.

Pedantry*

Lol, so much of the FPGA industry 🤣. Especially East coast of the US

GrapheneOS

When I search for it on stock android on my P7, it says it’s in Google Play Services. So my guess is it isn’t part of AOSP, therefore GrapheneOS wouldn’t have it, unless they make their own implementation

Same here.

VHDL represent. Although it’s arguably not a “programming language”

My bad. I thought I saw that they ship with them now. I haven’t really looked at the configurator since I got mine in 2021.

All of the models ship with various options for OS:

• None
• Fedora, Mint, or a couple other Linux distros
• W11

So given they all list a few different distros as an official option, and each product page has a Linux tab, I think it’s a safe bet

Tbf, my building also uses an app for laundry. However they also have a machine in the laundry rooms where you can purchase an NFC payment card and put money on it. So you can use it without the app. Is that not the case with yours? If not, that’s 100% fucked

Off topic: how do you like simplex. I have heard of it, but you’re the first I’ve encountered who used it.

Came here to recommend those first two exactly

I really liked Weird Al when I was like 12. Still do.

Matrix is a new-ish decentralized, private, E2EE encryption protocol. It’s pretty neat. It still has some issues (at least that I experience. Mainly the Android app is constantly being super slow to receive messages), but it’s super promising.

They also have some goals to improve email infrastructure by integrating the matrix protocol, but not sure if that will go anywhere. I remember reading this off hand remark on their blog. Can’t find the source.

As the original comment said, there’s the concept ifa “bridge” which allows you to bridge other services to a matrix chat. So you could have a discord channel and matrix room bridged, as an example. A ready to go option with bridges is Beeper. But you can also setup your own stuff, as they said.
