Yeah, my home server has been running for more than a few years, and has been in a few large rooms - it's gotten to the point that connecting takes upwards to a minute on the old client.

With Element X it takes around 3 to 4 seconds, regardless of room size. It's delicious.

Element X implements most of the client side stuff mentioned above, but it doesn't depend on a specific room version: instead, your homeserver must implement/run an additional service (a "sliding sync" proxy, a special binary written in Go that is deployed alongside Synapse) and then advertise that service's existence.

If it does the latter, Element X will know where to connect and will function.

Note that this is only temporary so that people can make use of Sync V3 before it officially lands in Synapse. And it, technically, isn't synapse exclusive either, as it's its own thing.

Cheers

HOA? CW?

I might've been a bit too vitriolic in my response as well, sorry about that - tensions are running high over here.

Still, I truly believe that a lot of people that voted against their own interest are victims of themselves and the lies they were fed. But I’m definitely too soft hearted and naive at times.

They are victims, for sure. The hashtag "pişmanım" (which translates to "I regret it") was all over the net the week after the election.

Having said that, we spent years warning them that they would get fucked if they didn't change course, and they chose not to listen (time after time again). Now their chickens have come home to roost, and life here is even worse than it was a year ago (during said disasters) - which is saying something.

C'est la vie - at least I can afford to drink.

I didn't vote for him and am living here (have been for 30 years). I do have sympathy for myself, thanks for bringing that up.

And I have no sympathy for the people that voted for him based on lies.

You're not from here, so allow me the following assumption: you have no idea the collective trauma caused by the recent catastrophes (the earthquake to the East, chief among them). For people to still vote for the folk who literally caused or assisted in the causes of these tragedies, after so much needless death, has lead me to adopt the view of: "you want this shit so bad? You can have it".

I'm done protesting and getting tear gassed. So done tip-toeing around conversations lest I get beaten or arrested for saying the wrong thing. So done walking around with a "go bag" in case another fucking coup happens and I find myself stuck on the wrong side of a divided city.

I'm moving away the first chance I get. I'm only sad for those who don't have the same opportunities.

But, yeah, please tell me more about who I should have sympathy for.

It's not a fair country, lol. But, regardless, things do work a bit differently here as people are aware of the fact he owns and controls the main news channels - folk aren't under the illusion that they're fair and balanced, so that metric isn't as relevant as - say - an election in the West where people are more likely to trust their media.

People went with him mostly because he promised stability, and the opposition don't have a great track record with that (even though they really gave it their best this time around). A lot can also be said about Kılıçdaroğlu and his refusal to step down... But that's a much longer discussion.

As a massive MH fan since 4U, I do want to play this game... It's just that I don't want to do Niantic any favors.

Damn it... Just announce the next main line game already my bones need some proper new monsta huntin.

I really liked the last one :(

Well, an argument can be made that his party did give up Istanbul and Ankara in the previous round of local elections (albeit with quite a fight), so it serves to reason that they're not entirely opposed to the democratic process (most of their money is hidden in off-shore tax havens and not Turkey, so they can always bail if the political scene turns hostile towards them).

The issue is that, no matter how you see the current political climate, the dude won the recent elections fair and square (as far as we know).

The people voted for this, so let them enjoy it. To me it's like Brexit, except I'm living here and watching it happen to me as well.

Well, hopefully he's more inept than pops.

Of course. All that talk about how "Islam is against raising interest rates" goes out the window once the elections are over.

It's just a shame it took this long, we could have used actual economic action a few years back.

You're not correct about spaces being a UI feature.

Spaces are now part of the protocol and are stored server side with your account data. Other clients - like fluffychat - can work with spaces just like Element.

They were element only back while they were being tested, but are now a direct replacement for the old - deprecated - groups functionality.

There do tend to be in logical groups, e.g. you'll see all of Mozilla's stuff in their server - but there are quite a few general purpose servers.

Nah - I think I'll enjoy it on my old character, if that's all right with them.

Crazy to think I'd just spend another 100 hours redoing missions and revisiting old content for new progression systems.

I'm happy the game is finally finished, but it's kind of insulting to tell us to go back and "play it all again, it's finally ready".

Yep, I've got 4gb of RAM and 2 vCPUs and am in Synapse Admins with 10.9k users. Sooo.... Yeah?

Again, though, if you want to use XMPP just use it - stop lying to people to get them into your camp.

It's not a fucking soccer team.

Sure, the fixes should have been there earlier.

Yes, it's new content with a price tag associated with it.

If you don't want the new content, enjoy the fixes and new game systems got free.

It's 30 hours of new content with a new area, story, and characters?

The actual 2.0 update is free and deploying for all players, regardless of whether you own Phantom Liberty or not.

It still exists; it's fine - for all intents and purposes. It fizzled out because most of the features people wanted were optional extensions to the protocol, so you wouldn't have every feature with every client/server.

Say what you want about Matrix, having one company pushing it with a core API and user-facing application that is "good enough" (I'm not a fan of Element myself, but it does the trick for normal people looking to sign up) makes it easier to adopt.

Case in point, check out the software page of the XMPP.org website. For each piece of software there's a small dropdown showing you how compliant it is with each standard. That kind of decision making - beyond just "which one looks/feels the nicest" - is kind of what's been holding XMPP back all these years. (in my opinion)

Shame, too, as XMPP has always been pretty great.
