By the way, fellow mpv enjoyers, did you know that mpv comes with an interactive command prompt? Just press backtick.

I guess, that's why I like terminals and tiling windows managers. It just hits the right spot in my brain.

Using mpv is the closest I get to feel like I'm doing magic. Consecutively pressing a dozen different keys and it does exactly what I wanted.

We, the users, should question the context and purpose under which the protocols and software we promote are created - and whether that's in our interest or not.
Heck, maybe having a venture capital funded company at the steering wheel of the protocols that were meant to free us from the venture capitalist messengers... wasn't the best approach?
Where to go from here? Honestly, no idea. I have no proposals to make. But I think commentary is important. Maybe we can learn and find better ways to have nice things.

Welp, I didn't expect this post to blow up like that. Maybe I should add some context.
I think this is a messy PR move gone awry. It's not a secret that Synapse doesn't scale well. The interesting part lies in the bigger picture.
First of all: There's nothing inherently wrong with a company building a closed source product to interface with open software/standards.
People have opinions on whether that's beneficial for the ecosystem or not. It's not the can of worms I want to open, but I can't avoid it entirely.
Some history. In the end of 2023 Element pulled a very interesting move where they forked Synapse and relicensed the code from Apache 2.0 to AGPLv3 and started requiring a CLA for contributions. See: https://matrix.org/blog/2023/11/06/future-of-synapse-dendrite/
Since Element staff is responsible for most of the maintenance work, the Matrix Foundation had no chance but to discontinue their Apache licensed version.
So, essentially project ownership of Synapse (forcefully) changed from the Matrix Foundation to the Element company.
A bit later Element announced a proprietary version of Synapse where they claimed to have fixed some of the most glaring architectural issues.
Suddenly they have a big commercial incentive to keep Synapse slow. And in this blog post they say that, loud and clear.

lol @ element for pulling "our code base is utter trash and we have no intention to fix that, please buy our proprietary rewrite"
