I have done this successfully in the past with PulseAudio. It also let me do all the playback controls from my computer, and adjust the volume of the phone separately from apps on the computer

Or make the stores pay for the cops

Not sure why you think I don’t understand why matrix operates the way it does and I’m especially not sure why you think you know what I want. To help clear it up: I want a secure, decentralized encrypted messaging system that doesn’t let anyone but the participants access any information about their conversations, just like everyone else. What I DONT want is people misrepresenting the current landscape, as many in this thread are doing. End to end encryption of the actual text of the messages is not at all good enough, and Signal has made enormous strides in demonstrating alternative options. I’m not a fan of the usual things people don’t like about signal (phone numbers, centralized server architecture, mixed feelings on removing SMS from Android). Matrix addresses almost all of these, and does a lot of other cool things, but does so at the cost of a lot of privacy. I want people to stop acting like matrix and signal offer the same level of privacy. I get it, decentralization is good, but can we please not misrepresent the offerings of current decentralized solutions compared to current centralized ones just because we like the architecture of one more?

I’ve operated matrix servers and I’ve looked at the database to see what it knows. It knows a lot, and if a service provider was compelled to turn that over, it could be bad. We should be honest about what the server knows so people can make rational decisions.

Wow you’re just posting dumb takes all over this thread huh

I believe once upon a time, back when Signal was called TextSecure, it actually supported this. I don’t remember how it knew the remote party was on TextSecure, I think it may have just let you send anyone encrypted messages, regardless of whether they could read them but I could be wrong. It’s been a long time.

if it's not free what's the benefit of using PeerTube? You're basically describing nebula
