There is no shortage of startups and enterprises animated by, or outright proclaiming, replacing e-mail as the de-facto open internet messaging standard. VC Investors are forever fascinated by funding such endeavours. #matrix #simplex #slack etc are examples.

#deltachat endorses e-mail but reconfigures and repurposes it to serve for interoperable instant messaging. The #chatmail server network relays end to end encrypted e-mail only, and servers are reduced to dumb store-and-forward relays.

Hi all, the recurrent question of backing up (or not) #NeuroMethods slack is there again.
Lots of people are suggesting backing up the contents onto some #Google product, whether gmail or google docs. I know that gmail is not private (google analyses the contents of the mails) but is Google document private?
Otherwise is there an alternative to google docs that would actually be private? I imagine if it is private then it will not be free..

(Neuromethods is a discussion platform for when you have a problem or question about a #Neuroscience technique. It's on the free #Slack version so the history past 90 days is lost. See the previous time I have asked about this: neuromatch.social/@elduvelle/1)

Neuromatch SocialEl Duvelle (@elduvelle@neuromatch.social)The #NeuroMethods slack is an amazing resource for all #Neuroscience technical questions. However it’s using a free slack version so all older messages are hidden, and with new #Slack policies they’ll soon be deleted. One solution would be to find one or several “sponsors” who would help move the slack to a paid version. Any ideas or suggestions about this?

Even if Elon is somehow ousted from this coup, it will continue to roll on and crush everything in its wake. He's only ONE aspect of this, and he's a very loud and obnoxious one which is very much the point. People need to pay attention to Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz. Here's a few of the more recogniseable companies in which they have been involved: SUBSTACK. (for the love of sanity please use a different platform) #Airbnb, #Facebook, #Instagram, X/Twitter, #Pinterest, #Roblox, #Skype, #BuzzFeed, #Groupon, #Imgur, #Reddit, #Slack, #Medium, #OpenAI, #SpaceX and more... The rest of their portfolio is here: https://a16z.com/portfolio/ It also includes weapons and defence tech in the name of "American Dynamism." #a16z #andreessenhorowitz #techfascism #MAGA #AmericanDynamism

The more I use #Matrix, the more I'm puzzled why it isn't mainstream just yet. It can literally take the place of anything - any messaging/phone call/video call apps like #WhatsApp or #Telegram, group chats (even with screensharing) like #Discord, #Teamspeak, #Slack, or #Teams - all of that and it might even be more secure (or private) than something like #Signal since you don't even need a phone number to sign up. All you need to do to sign up is register an account on an instance (of which you could even stand one up yourself), and use the service on a good app - #Element and #ElementX seem to be the best on desktop and mobile respectively. If you don't fancy installing an app, you could even use it on the web - something you couldn't even do on Signal.

I like it so much, and I think it should be mainstream so much, that I had just updated my resume to replace my phone number with a Matrix link instead lol - and I feel much better not having my (work) number displayed in public. Idk if that'd be an issue (i.e. for a recruiter), but meh, the link even takes you to a pretty portal (stood up by the Matrix instance) that tells the reader how to reach me (i.e. app options they could launch/install, etc.). All in all, I'm so, so, so SORRY for thinking Matrix is just what #FOSS/#Linux nerds use to be different (to be private, really) when really, it's just a really cool communication protocol/service EVERYONE should use - not freakin' WhatsApp or #iMessage (I see you, Americans).
