i've decided i don't really care about encryption on matrix. vuln or otherwise, the platform continues to have usability issues even if you run entirely unencrypted chat rooms. i'd direct my concerns there first.

@doskel when it comes to "business" calls (generic term; mostly talking about like, calling my pharmacy to collect prescriptions), i'm at lot more comfortable, but i still need to work out what i'm gonna say when they pick up the phone beforehand.

@doskel general anxiety, kinda! i need to be really comfortable with a person to accept a direct call. even if the alternative is literally just hopping into a one-to-one voice chat on discord, i'd still lean for that over a direct call. it's pretty weird and irrational for sure.

specifically on phone: i'm generally uncomfortable calling friends when i'm
not at my proper setup at home (i can't rely on voice quality, and i've been overstimmed by awful background noise and the like before)

@vozercozer doesn't this make a lot of sense, though? woody's an old toy, and there's a whole bit in toy story 2 where he's getting repainted

@kimapr @tk @maddy moral of the story: encrypted chat is really fckn hard and you should only do it if you absolutely have to

@Starcross true!!

@lina @keyshooter awesome! i heard about the CLA and didn't mind it too much, though the nomenclature is admittedly kinda new to me. i should peek at their federation approach out of curiosity- could be useful for future projects!

@Starcross TO BE FAIR. if you disable encryption, the federation isn't too bad

@keyshooter @lina oh yeah i'm well-aware of what fluxer is, i was more curious what exactly they'd done to increase public favour

@lina @keyshooter would you mind sharing? i'm very curious about fluxer but don't have a great channel for news about the app and its development right now.
