  While not perfect, the best option at the moment to secure communication is not interrupted would be for this sub and other like-minded individuals who appreciate their freedom, privacy and security to join #conspiracyNOPOL:matrix.org. You may register a new account on the official Matrix homeserver https://riot.im/app/#/register and a partial list of alternative homeservers can be found here https://publiclist.anchel.nl/ including Mozilla's.

• 2D Hardware-Accelerated Graphics Rendering in the Browser and on Mobile
  reddit.com/r/rust | 2021-02-17

  I recommend just using wgpu. It works on web (or will soon), desktop, and mobile. It's a full-fledged graphics api (like vulkan or metal), but it's simpler and more user-friendly than most of them. Join the matrix chat for it as well: https://matrix.to/#/#wgpu-users:matrix.org.

• We hosted FOSDEM 2021 on Matrix
  news.ycombinator.com | 2021-02-15

  I didn't expect anything and was pleasantly surprised to be able to follow all talks if I wanted to, all with the room for questions and such. Congratulations, and thank you very much !

  There were a few pain points, given the special nature of the rooms. Here's my workflow for joining a room:

  - I have my own homeserver and am using Element Desktop

  - When I'm interested in a talk, for a room I'm not already in, I need to get the room. I can't simply copy-paste it, because there's a link to https://matrix.to and I don't want to fill my own homeserver every time. I need to click on that first link _then only_ I can extract the "#room:matrix.org" I'm interested in. I wish there was just a "matrix://" or something I could click and that my system could understand.

  - I joined many rooms just for FOSDEM and I didn't want to "pollute" my usual rooms. So I used the Communities thing from Element but it's counter-intuitive: in all other applications (Discord, Slack, I assume others) that button is a "namespace" at the top of a usual hierarchy (namespace/channel). In Element it's more like a tag: when I put the room in the community, I'm actually saying that the community is a view that lists all rooms with the corresponding tag. I don't know yet if I prefer this way of working or not, but maybe the elements should have a different appearance than other tools

  - Linked to the above, there's no "community" for the default view, which is "all of them" if I understood correctly; I have to know that I need to click after the list, below the "+"

  - Adding a room to a community is not exactly straightforward as well. I need to go in the Community, then add the room... but it must already be added beforehand, because #room:server.org doesn't seem to work.

  All in all it's a lot of manual manipulations for being able to use Element the way we're expected to be able to use it. Surely your backlog already has some items for the points above, so I'm going to wait patiently :)
