Quickly, give him a CAPTCHA to read!
“Select all squares where a human might place a bottle of barbecue sauce”
selects every square
Anyone can be a bus if they really, really want to. Don’t vehicle-shame.
I get a kick out of it when I get a dumbass captcha like that and the stupid fucking robot tells me I did it wrong. Like, the whole point is that I know how to answer them and you don’t.

It would almost give me heart attack, lf I were to see Zuckerberg staring me from my kitchen window like that. And not just because my kitchen doesn’t have a window!
You are made of M E A T F I B E R S and he has S W E E T B A B Y R A Y S ready to go
I am afraid that this is a real picture that he took. If so… Why???
It’s this picture real? What the hell is the context for this guy to take a picture like that?
He’s got to trolling everyone, acting like he’s extremely creepy as a joke.I think it’s made by AI. Someone thought it’s funny when he spies into our privacy.
My goodness why didn’t I think of that
This is why AI shops are dangerous. That picture looks real. It’s funny as hell though.
People will be training AI on their ex’s face to show how unhinged they are. Anyone could make pictures for divorce or custody battles that depict the other party like this.
And if they dismiss it as AI that’s a whole other problem. Actual pictures will mean nothing.
Yup. It’s going to be rough.
Makes me want to skip ahead a hundred years.
Why do you think actors and writers are currently striking?
As of my last knowledge update in September 2021, I don’t have information about any ongoing strikes among actors and writers. However, strikes in these industries often occur due to disputes over issues such as fair compensation, working conditions, and creative rights. To get accurate and up-to-date information about the current strikes, I recommend checking news sources or official statements from the relevant organizations.
Haha. AI, doesn’t know it neither.
The writers guild of America is currently on strike right now over low wages and being replaced with ai.
A lot of actors are striking in solidarity.
Idk all the details but that’s the gist of what I’ve read about it.
I’m still not entirely sure what problem Sup is trying to solve. Matrix already exists. Matrix supports E2EE through the signal protocol, as well as native federation, and it bridges to almost any existing chat service. Matrix is inherently less secure, overall, than Signal, but I don’t see how Sup would fix this either – for that I’ll have to wait and see. As for using one’s fedi account to sign-in, that’s mostly just up to supporting OAuth, and not some feature that would be unique to the app.
What I don’t like with Matrix is the load it puts on the server. It basically copies 100% of a room content to any server having one or more users registered in the room.
So if you’re on a small server, and one user decides to join a 10k+ large room, your server may collapse under the load as it tries to stay in sync with the room’s activity. This is deterrent to self-hosting or family/club/small party servers.
XMPP, on the other hand, has proven to be highly scalable, has E2EE, federation and some bridging services.
The only thing XMPP does NOT have is a single reference multiplatform client with all basic features for 2023 (1:1 chat, chat rooms, voice/video 1:1, and voice/video conference) than anyone can use without wondering if the features-set is the same as the persons you’re talking to.
And while we’re there: I’m not even sure I want a messaging account linked to any of my Fediverse accounts…

Retroactively?? I’m sure that one could configure this to not be the case… no?

“Collapse” meaning what, exactly? Do you mean run out of storage from the volume of content, or that processing all the messages is too taxing?

How does it scale differently than Matrix?

Out of curiosity, why do you say this?

Years back, I setup a Synapse’s server on my personal server (Yunohost). At some point, I joined the “big” Matrix room. Bad idea: RAM and CPU usage went through the roof. I had to kill the server but even that took forever as the system was struggling with the load.
But don’t just take my words for it:
https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/7339
Last comment is from less than one year ago. I was told things should be better with newer servers (Dendrite, Conduit, etc.), but I’ve not tried these yet. They’re still in development.
How does it scale differently than Matrix?
The Matrix protocol is a replication system: your server will have to process all events in the room one or more users attend(s) to. There is a benefit to this: you can’t shut down a room by shutting down any server: all the other ones are just as “primary” as the original. Drawback: your humble personal server is now on the hook.
XMPP rooms are more conventional: a room is located on one server. That’s an “old” model, but it scales.

That’s for the host. For other attendees, it’s much lower.
I don’t think I atteld any public room out there with 3k users, so I can’t report my first hand experience, this is the best I found. But I never had to check for load issue on a small server (running Metronome and many more services).
Out of curiosity, why do you say this?
I don’t use the Fediverse the way I engage with individual people. If I want a closer relation with someone, I don’t want to be bound to yet-another-messenging system, let alone on multiple accounts
And another reason is I may not want to be bothered by people I don’t know, regardless how much I could appreciate reading and/or exchanging with them in the Fediverse.
Ignoring or declining requests from strangers can leave a lot to interpretation and then frustration. Remove the button and no one is tempted to press it the be disappointed with the outcome. Less drama.
And that’s only considering well intended people.
But these are my humble 2cents.

It appears that issue is closed as per this comment:
This should hopefully be significantly improved in the upcoming v1.36.0 release. I’m going to close this for now, if people still see issues after updating then feel free to make a new issue.
So pehaps this issue that you are describing is now fixed?

[…] XMPP rooms are more conventional: a room is located on one server. That’s an “old” model, but it scales. […]
This only scales so long as the single server is able to keep up with all of the requests. In the replication, as you have described, all the instances sort of act like load balancers – they spread the individual requests, and concentrate them into single links between the instances.
And another reason is I may not want to be bothered by people I don’t know, regardless how much I could appreciate reading and/or exchanging with them in the Fediverse.
I think I see what you are getting at with this. Would it be like, for example, if your Lemmy account is also tied to Matrix, then someone on Lemmy could send you a request to talk on Matrix? Granted this could already be assumed to occur if one uses the same username for all of their accounts, but it could possbily be more of an issue if it was more directly integrated. That being said, I’m not sure how realistic this scenario would be since the Matrix protocol is completely independent of Activity Pub. The only connection between accounts that I can think of is OAuth.
So… I guess “Sup.” beta is delayed…
I was really looking forward to a decentralized, self hostable Signal…
Looking for something more integrated with things like Mastodon or Lemmy or Pixelfed, it’s too hard of a sell for people to download another messager otherwise.
Also, Matrix is really complicated… I still don’t quite have it working right.
Matrix is not complicated, it’s Element’s UX. It’s going in good direction, remember than on WhatsApp people are factory resetting their phones to move chats between Android and iPhone. You can do clickable Matrix link in bio and there are instances that offer Fediverse+Matrix combo accounts.
Its called matrix haha?
@mexicancartel @MargotRobbie why not xmpp? I don’t need startups reinventing existing internet standards.
What clients do you suggest for xmpp?(android)
@mexicancartel Conversations from F-Droid.
It looks pathetically old from screenshots
@mexicancartel It does what it is supposed to do and it does it well. If you care more about rounded corners than about standards compliance and interoperability, then it might not be for you. But the author is working on an visual upgrade for people like you also.
I just tried out and its a very consistent application. It looks slightly better than from the screenshots. Still yeah looks matter a lot and that screenshots in fdroid made me not to try it
You had the chance to nail a Whatsapp joke, and you failed.
As intended.
Why did he even take a picture like that lol
