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.

I was on the beta testing team and have been using Beeper for a little over two years now.

The convenience of having an application to house all of your chat networks is amazing.

e2e encrypted

More like "e2mitm2e" encrypted, with the mitm being the bridges.

If the target network doesn't support encryption, that's "e2mitm2null"... does it at least alert you in that case?

Then run your own matrix instance with these bridges that they maintain for the community.

That still doesn't fix the e2e problem. Just because only me, and let's hope not too many others who manage to break into the instance, can mitm everything, doesn't make the mitm go away.

There really should be a standard, or at least a set of standards, on how to do e2e, so the bridges would only need to route the messages.
