A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

If any of y'all were curious of Beeper when it came out (a Matrix backed chat app) but weren't able to get an invite for whatever reason, then here ya go! Feel free to ask any questions about it if you got any! (No I don't work for Beeper, just like this more than Element and self-hosting)

I am using the service, but there's a lot I don't like and I'm hoping to spin up my own matrix server and host their bridges on my own machine.

  1. Beeper cannot send View once messages/media. 2.View once media that is sent on native Signal and WhatsApp are viewable forever through Beeper.
  2. There is no way to delete chats/messages
  3. Read receipt settings are not respected in signal & WhatsApp, and read receipts are always sent.

100% agree on these complaints haha, but it's finally out of private invites so thought I'd invite some people
