The main thing I would point to is that Matrix itself only does text; the Element client uses Jitsi to add in audio/video calls and screensharing [...]

Matrix VoIP is a thing, and it's usable for audio & video on many clients, element and fluffychat come to mind, but probably more.

element call is also coming into element (and possibly other clients) for video calls and screensharing

My other gripes are just with the user interface, [...] it really doesn’t look like Discord

why does that matter?

why not matrix?

No way, really who could've guessed? I'm shocked, I'm telling you shocked...

oh wait, I'm not

wouldn't it have been easier to just read the source code? (not that GNU's code is easy to read, but still)

this is definitely satire, otherwise it would take longer than the age of the universe to finish coding it lol

That’s not the issue. You can attempt as many passwords as you want in actually secure password managers as well. KeepassXC for instance IS secure, you can still brute force the password, but because of the hashing algorithm they use it’s extremely hard. With PKZIP if you know some of the words in the file, you can easily guess the password in just a few hours because the encryption algorithm it uses isn’t secure

~~It is~~

EDIT: I'm wrong, I don't know what I was thinking, I misremembered hearing something apparently. Thank you for the corrections

Thank you! More people should do this. It may seem like $5 is nothing, but it’s actually great help. Even $1 helps out FOSS projects, as if even just 1% of the users of such projects donated $1 each month that’d be able to make a good income,

Someone really should maintain a list like that, hosted on multiple non big tech git hosts.

This recent Anti-FOSS propaganda needs to stop

Seconded, and added Haier to my mental list of companies to never buy from.

The UK has a data protection agency? Does the UK know? Have they been asleep for the past 20 years?

How about using LDAP? It's a bit complicated to learn but it's easy to integrate it in a bunch of applications and it allows you to manage user accounts and permissions in one central place.

Maybe try LLDAP which is a modern implementation (haven't used it myself) which is designed to be simplified and I assume more welcoming to newcomers.
