    You can actually fix this in the settings there’s an option for permanent prompt tunings and you can add things like “focus on concise answers” or my favorite " i don’t need to be glazed , I don’t need to be told that it’s an insightful question or reaches the heart of the matter. Just focus on answering the question"


  • I think you misunderstand. They are making technical decisions that are incompatible with ux decisions. In order to make a better user experience they would need to change how the protocol was made, thus undoing thing that they chose for technical reasons.

    Like the way they chose to do the custom emoji makes sense on a technical level for a de Federated protocol but it also is fundamentally incompatible with a good user experience. Same with the forest verification of devices that’s bad ux even if it is technically better


  • No it doesn’t, matrix was designed by people with no concept of ux. It focuses on things that are technically correct but something average people won’t put up with. Like the forced verification of devices, normal people don’t care and don’t understand what that even is and will be annoyed that every time they try to log in they are prompted to insert a stupid key just so that they can see their chat history.

    Doesn’t help that tons of the clients especially the web one can’t be bothered to remember being authenticated and you have to do it literally every time but even with that fix just having to do that in general is going to put people off.

    Then there’s just a bunch of base protocol stuff that’s dumb the way they finally implemented custom emoji is the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen and makes what should be a simple easy click to add a sticker and then use it turn into this complicated mess that nobody’s going to bother with. On a technical level it made sense sure but on a user experience level it makes no sense at all.

    And I say this is someone that self-hosts basically anything I can get my hands on, I’ve got Seafile, immich, piped, jellyfin, microbin, among various others. I keep trying matrix and keep finding myself getting annoyed enough to stop using it



  • The problem is that there isn’t really anywhere to Exodus to. I already know people here on Lemmy are going to say Matrix but that’s just not an option. It’s trash, the protocol was designed by idiot neck beards that have never heard the term UX. Pretty much everything was done in a way that while technically speaking is efficient makes it unbelievably tedious to actually use and in some cases just outright annoying ensuring that users will never want to use it. Most recent example is forcing device verification, it is technically correct, it is better from a security standpoint it is better from a verifiability standpoint. But for the average user who could not give less of a shit about that it is nothing more than something that pisses them off and annoys them every single time they open the application because despite the fact that they should be remembering at least in my testing it almost never does and I have to put in my stupid key every single God damn time especially if I’m using it in the browser.

    Teamspeakers trying to rebuild itself to be more Discord like but it’s still in early beta and not at all ready for it so that’s not an option, and everything else is pretty much either just as shit or just as likely to implement this tomorrow as Discord








  • Was surprised to see this here. But yes absolutely, they are expensive don’t get me wrong. But they are worth it. Their shit just works, i have their washer and heat pump dryer, dishwasher, and CX1 canister vacuum. Each are the best version of that thing I’ve ever used. Dishwasher will clean anything no rinse/soak needed even for baked on pasta or cheese, vacuum is powerful but also shockingly quiet, dryer sips power (700w avg load) but dries everything just fine.

    Had em for the years now, i am NOT gentle with the vacuum i drag it outside to clean the car and other various things it’s not really for, toss it around use it as a footstool sometimes and it shows no signs of the wear. You get what you pay for with them




  • I mean it WOULD work you would just need a von on every device you wanted to use.

    The REAL answer is never host them DIRECTLY, always use a reverse proxy like nginx. Many projects (i believe jellyfin is one of them) explicitly recommend this for better security. Which it looks like you did so congrats

    For extra bonus points you can setup nginx to run as a non privileged user and use iptables to forward the lower ports (80/443). A pain but closes out a large chunk of nginx as a risk.
