The chemical element Darmstadtium, which was discovered at GSI/FAIR, is the namesake for the conference center Darmstadtium, located in our hometown Darmstadt.
By the way, today is the discovery day of the chemical element Darmstadtium.
🎉Happy birthday!

Microsoft plant eine Neuerung, die euren flexiblen Arbeitsalltag verändern könnte! Ab Dezember 2025 wird Microsoft Teams mit einer Funktion ausgestattet, die automatisch erkennt, ob ihr tatsächlich im Büro oder doch gemütlich von zu Hause aus arbeitet.

Es erweckt sich der Eindruck, dass Microsoft krampfhaft versucht, Kunden loszuwerden.
Es gehören schon gehörige Scheuklappen und Sitzfleisch dazu, treuer Fan zu bleiben und das alles zu ignorieren.
Umso erstuanlicher, wenn in Bayern geplant wird, wieder 1 Mrd € dort anzulegen statt sich endlich davon zu lösen.

The EU is pushing to scan ALL private messages, even encrypted ones, endangering privacy, security, and fundamental freedoms across 450 million people.
This is mass surveillance disguised as child protection, and it breaks encryption, risks false accusations, and threatens democracy worldwide.

Everyone is now realizing that WhatsApp is evolving towards its latest form (https://archive.md/L3W74). If you value secure messaging, you may want to check out @signalapp or @matrix (wich is #federated). EPFL also has its own Matrix instance at https://matrix.epfl.ch (use @element as a client).

Does anyone know why Matrix doesn't notify you when a picture message is received? It's super annoying. 
And I say Matrix instead of naming a client because every single client refuses to notify for it so I imagine it's something in the spec.

> the main reason this never happened
> the main reason this never happened
That's a shame. I cite your blog post about it often. It's a rare case of a software dev blog post that's both technically and socially insightful, worded in a way that can be read and understood by almost anyone.
> using a client with a different feature set is gong to be a problem
I can see why you'd think so, but I haven't found it to be a problem in practice. You are right that it doesn't really work with 1 account.
Curiously, @element seems to have pivoted their free client towards being more of a BBQ app. Presumably they offer more of a banquet version to enterprise users of their hosted service? Given the licensing of the Element apps, they could do that without publishing source code for it.

In any case, you got me to try it again and it's indeed a bit faster while syncing. I'll see if I can remember to use it for rooms without threads :)

I use ElementX almost exclusively for 1:1 DMs, and I suspect this is the market they're pivoting to. Leaving the team chat uses cases to other outfits like Gitter;
