The not so tech savvy family members have trouble with e2e though. They always have problems with device somehow not properly authorized, and some encrypted rooms accessible from the computer but not from the phone. I usually solve it for them regularly, but they still can’t do it by themselves. So I prefer to keep the rooms unencrypted (we are not sharing state secrets anyway), but self-hosted (I don’t want to give away family pictures to big tech companies).

I’ve never bothered to try alternatives to Element. Are they worth trying ?

And naturally, matrix is federated so you can join rooms of any other instance.

I use Matrix (Element client on iOS) with the extended family and it works well. Most of them are not tech-savvy. I self-host my own Matrix instance because I wanted to have control on where personal pictures were hosted.

Or another instance. Mastodon.social is quite overloaded.

Moi je suis globalement d’accord que tout ce qui est fait jusqu’à maintenant n’est que de la communication et a peu d’effet. Mais si on a un discours trop pessimiste, on arrivera pas à motiver les gens pour aller vers et accepter des changements plus radicaux. Si c’est foutu, pourquoi faire des efforts?

There is also an iOS app. It is quite simple but it works well.

Même si la situation est pas glorieuse, et qu'on est bien parti pour aller au delà de 1.5°C, il faut essayer de rester optimiste. Le discours "c'est foutu" est dangereux parce qu'il incite à ne rien faire. Or, si on ne fait rien, ça sera pire.

I see you from my self hosted instance

Same for me.

In TOS, Kirk does not hate the Klingons. I remember this episode when he and the Klingon captain must refrain from feeding hate to stop the alien of the week.

C’est peut être le parc du Pilat ?
