It uses FCM for the notifications.

Proton uses XWayland, this is for proper, native Wayland support. It will make its way to Proton eventually.

Not anymore, since as of October Gitea requires a copyright assignment for contributions. More info here.

Yup, and I believe it even does it automatically if it fails to reach the desktop for a number of boots in a row.

Depends on which DE in which version it is using, but anything with recent Gnome (Fedora, Ubuntu) will. Not sure if KDE distros generally default to it, and for more niche DEs the answer is probably "no", unless it was explicitly made for Wayland.

I doubt it's ever going to be a part of the core protocols, but it doesn't have to be, you can just use Waypipe.

I did, yes. TBH it is very anti-Matrix right out of the gate, makes a mountain out of a molehill and it even admits that it contains FUD.

There's a couple of things that are misleading in it (for example the section on bridges) and the critique basically boils down to "if you use the identity servers that are run by Matrix.org with your self-hosted homeserver they can see the info you send to them" and "Google Analytics in Element is bad".

All in all I didn't find it very convincing, and very lacking in nuance.

Do you have a source for the claim that collecting userdata is ultimately what funds Matrix?

Does this support DRM protected streams, for example with Widevine? Whether one likes DRM or not, it is clear that support for it is a hard requirement for any streaming apps to support this.

Can't Waypipe do this?

Won't most of those pieces of software work on xwayland?
