You can use linux clients just fine, like gurk, which I linked you in another comment.
AFAIK I must connect it to Android or iOS before I can use it.

I don't think so, you could use the official Linux build as far as I know. I think it needs a phone number but not necessarily a mobile device. I might be wrong though.
(You really have a lot of free time to write unsubstantiated dismissals to all my posts.)

It required to scan the QR code from a "mobile" app last time I tried. (You really have a lot of free time to write unsubstantiated dismissals to all my posts.)
Are you against using an Android (or LineageOS) emulator to do so?

You pop up in a lot of threads I'm interested in and seem to say a lot of incorrect things, that's all.

FHE is impossible. You cannot expect to compete on 100x more cost for the same service you provide (and there is no design for accelerated hardware (Tensor Core) on FHE).
Only 100x the cost? Really? Can you cite a reference how you get it that cheap?

XMPP, as Matrix is pretty much centralized, unless you're fortunate enough to register outside of matrix.org. Both xmpp.org and jabber.org is no longer open for registration.
only around 35% of the publicly visible matrix accounts are on matrix.org…
I think Matrix has a lot of smart people involved, and I can't believe I'm saying this, but dear god, are you hiring for a TPM, by chance?
Every, single, time I have to go "Home" -> "Expand" -> "Favorites" to do what used to take one click, I lose a bit more faith in Element/Matrix.
Though, y'all did finally fix the notification sound that made me want to kill myself every single time it violated my ear drums. Only took.... 4 years? for that?

remember when you agreed with me that it was maybe regretable that the Favorites space was removed in favor of a process that required multiple clicks? and now it's months later and Element still has this redesign shipped, with every single one of the original flaws mentioned, still present.

1. It's annoying and inconvenient.
2. It's the result of an artificial restriction by Moxie, for which I can't see any good reason, making me suspicious. In my opinion, this is basically an attack on true mobile freedom.
3. I do not believe in a good app isolation of Waydroid, so I would prefer to use as rare as possible. I also do not trust Android too much. And I will have to run two Signal apps simultaneously.

> Signal is hardly more private than goddamn Whatsapp Kind of because Whatsapp adopted Signal's E2EE... And not even that long ago!
If by "not even that long ago" you mean "a few months short of a decade ago", sure.
Time flies I guess, I feel old now
It’s exciting to hear that Moxie and colleagues are working on something like this. They definitely have the skills to pull it off. Few in this world have done as much for privacy as the people who built Signal. Yes, it’s not perfect, but building security systems with good UX is hard. There are all sorts of tradeoffs and sacrifices one needs to make. For those interested in the underlying technology, they’re basical…
I don't agree that this is end to end encrypted. For example, a compromise of the TEE would mean your data is exposed. In a truly end to end encrypted system, I wouldn't expect a server side compromise to be able to expose my data. This is similar to the weasely language Google is now using with the Magic Cue feature ever since Android 16 QPR 1. When it launched, it was local only -- now it's local and in the cloud "…
Agree. Products and services in the privacy space have a tendency to be incredibly misleading in their phrasing, framing, and overall marketing as to the nature of their assertions that sound pretty much like: "we totally can never ever see your messages, completely and utterly impossible". Proton is particularly bad for this, it's rather unfortunate to see this from "Moxie" as well. It's like, come on you know exact…
Edit: I'm a little weary to find there is convenient import but not export functionalities. I manually copied the conversation into a markdown file https://gist.github.com/Gravifer/1051580562150ce7751146be0c9...>
