  I didn’t mean to say that it’s (still) trash, I think it’s useable, but there are still a lot of improvements to come.

  Element as a client seems to want to do everything, which is probably great for a lot of people, but it (in my experience) has led to a poor user experience (which with more time, will likely improve, they seem to have a lot of backing).

  With Element completing voice/video implementation, I imagine it’ll be easier for other clients to reference their work when implementing their own support.

  Once the other clients get voice support, I will definitely be trying them out again, I’m sure they will make a much simpler experience that works out the box.

  The lost keys problem has luckily never happened to me, it usually boils down the user error I believe, but yeah, if it is a user error that happens often, they should figure out some way to fix that (probably a hard problem, which is sort of fixed (i believe) if you use the client on multiple devices, so if you get logged out of your account you can easily authorize your access from another logged in device, eg desktop/mobile).

  I agree, I don’t think it’s trash. From my experience, chatting is very good, voice/video are just the next thing they are tackling.

  Better UX will probably come after important features are done.

  Just imagine the good they could have done by being a new competent Matrix UI that can do everything, but instead they are a Discord clone.

  Yeah, they kinda screwed up Element with combining mobile and desktop features into one app. The first time I tried creating a call on desktop, it was suddenly apparent how confusing they had made it, because you can do it in multiple ways (normal calls & conference calls).

  There are other UIs that look very nice, but sadly don’t support voice chat. Hopefully these other clients can catch up, but it’ll likely take a while.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  average user doesn’t even know what a port number or IP address is

  They don’t need to, just give them a url, username and password and let them type each for each field.

  (If you mean because you want them to configure a vpn to access your jellyfin instance, then just expose it to the internet, which surely you pretty much have to do for your plex instance)

  Cost:Convenience

  Do people really think this or will they think (like everyone i know) that it’s free and I can watch what I want.

  We need them to rappel from the helicopter and swing right into your appartment through the window. This is how we save lives.

  Yeah, the numbers are different everywhere, but mosquitoes cause at least 50% of that million.

  you are in luck we have the answer: youtu.be/aIIBBj6KR-Y

  Maybe it’ll be fun enough that we’ll simply forget to explore it’s depths YAY

  fun fact: animals, exluding humans, kill about 1 MILLION of us humans a year, most of which are not sea animals.

  Of course, I run EndeavourOS. My guess is that nowadays it doesn’t matter if you run amd or nvidia (likely won’t run into problems with either).

  I’m not sure about the specific AI apps you mention, but from my personal experience the “AMD works way better than Nvidia on Linux” mindset is no longer a thing.

  When I upgraded to a new gpu a few years ago, I first got an AMD gpu because of that mindset that was all over the internet (I believed them), but for the life of me I couldn’t get games to run properly with it. A week later I traded it for an Nvidia card and it just works.

  I do suffer from system wake from sleep issues that I think are the nvidia drivers fault, but atleast I can play games if I decide to.
