same. And it helps with listening to music on youtube... haha! Once I had friends coming over home and forgot to switch speed back to 1x, we had it like for an hour in 1.15 (yeah, wasn't that bad really.. that was part of the problem :P)

In the past there was some "Identity Management" server that was centralizing the accounts of matrix.org or any other instances, and it was managed by Vector which was an ONG or Company... Nowadays, I see no mention to it in documentation (at least from my quick overview) and vector.im redirects to element (matrix client). Did anything change? Do anyone know? The lack of transparency over Vector.im made me reluctant to recommend Matrix as a really federated alternative to messaging.
I second this! FYI, XMPP is the one protocol that as been forked over and over... it's the base of all (or many) messaging apps (incl. whatsapp). The thing is that XMPP has all this "Extensions" to their protocol, and it's difficult to implement or have a federated protocol that goes like that, with so many variations... that are implemented or installed on servers, and then also used by clients (e.g. Conversations is a great app on mobile, but not ready for just an average joe or my grandma)... I reckon snikket doesn't implement OTR (the end-to-end encryption of XMPP), that could be a downside to some. But, please, reconsider if you really need that.. if you happen to self-host, and then use SSL to encrypt on transit, and storage is encrypted on the server... that's already pretty much everything we need/ want in most cases (e.g. communicating with family safely.)
The only contender would be hosting an email server (which is tough, dependes on your luck with getting a 'clean' IPv4) on a cheap VPS (say €5 per month, for all users) and then install Delta Chat.
Indeed. Yet, at least to me, it's informative nonetheless... just around 2 weeks ago I noticed that mapy.cz was no longer available and it really saddened me because it was the only alternative and serious contender to Google (...other than OSM, of course.)
AFAIK that was a telemetry issue that was fixed (but very poorly addressed.) last year. Then someone posted about it recently...
I am using it BECAUSE of the vertical bar. So, I wouldn't know.
I have been using Sidebery in Firefox for ages now... and TreeStyleTabs before that. To me it's natural to use the space in the side of the web, since I almost never scroll horizontally but instead need the vertical space...
Thankfully I have been switching to Zen Browser just earlier this week :) I am very happy with the UI and 'firefox backend' (I get addons from here, not the highly censored google chrome webstore.)
That's re-victimization. People do people stuff, like using social networks. Furthermore, the database probably goes as far as previous to being bought, enshittified and renamed by Musk. So... you're not being fair.
