    I was merely making the distinction for those non-english natives people like me who tilted their head not getting it at first :D

    "fuite" is french which means to escape, to flee. Flight is only in context of planes or flying transportation. As for the sense of it, you're right, it's either do something, go a…

    And then the customers will open support requests for code generated by an AI that misuse that very SDK. It doesn't look like OP's issue is with the code per say, only with the lac…

    I can only be happy to see that the research we made and the documents [1] we produced some months back have lead to changes that improve privacy in Matrix. It is a huge win for ou…

    Thank you for your input. I am not worried about any traction we are getting. People do care even if you think nobody does. Per example: https://github.com/privacytoolsIO/privacyto…

    Feel free to post the same with your real account instead of a puppet one, then I'll be happy to reply to all your points. I'm serious enough to put my name out there and own up to…

    I guess then New Vector is actually our best sponsor: they always give us those very important things to write about, like a personal data breach that has a federation-wide scope. …

    Thank you for bringing our "failing out", which has an impact on the Personal Data leak itself, so I really hope people will look into it. As for "with the general matrix community…

    Allowing a user to make themselves discoverable is fine. The real question is why was "vector.im" used and not "matrix.org", or the user simply prompted? And why is that data query…
