Thanks,

So they haven’t made an announcement about retiring the proton bridge app yet.

I think I’ll wait until I see them actually remove it before I believe they’re locking us in.

I’ve just skimmed through the proton blog briefly and I couldn’t see anything referencing this. Do you have a link by chance?

That’s a bold claim. Got a source for this move?

WatchOS 10.2 is also needed for enabling Contact Key Verification in iOS 17.2.

You need to enable CKV yourself it seems.

Settings -> Apple ID -> scroll right down to the bottom -> contact key verification.

I caved and downloaded the Reddit app to get my fix for more niche communities that don’t have Lemmy equivalents yet (I don’t have the time nor the energy to stand up new Lemmy communities).

The app is just so infuriating and information dense. I struggle to figure out what’s actually content and what’s just an advert. Navigating doesn’t make much sense either.

Stay away from the app. Use the website if you absolutely have to.

This is certainly one way to spin this.

It doesn’t touch on all the other donations signal receives, including the major loan from Brian Acton. The OTF isn’t the only source of funding that signal has.

Signal will be fine. In fact now that the OTF have withdrawn funding it’ll probably shake off the weird take that Signal is CIA tech.

From memory Apple rejected game pass on iOS because they wanted Microsoft to submit every game (even though they’re all streamed) as separate apps on the App Store to comply with the age rating systems.

I feel like Alan Wake 2 is a different scenario here. Remedy owns the Alan Wake IP and therefore can do what they please with it.

Konami own the Silent Hill IP but have contracted Bloober Team to develop this game. I’d imagine this tweet is them saying Konami needs to give permission before anything can be shared about it.

I think the phrasing is important here.

Later next year, we will be adding support for RCS Universal Profile, the standard as currently published by the GSM Association.

If Google’s & Samsungs implementations aren't compliant with the GSM associations’ standard then I don’t think this is going to work how people are expecting it to. The stuff Google has added to RCS messaging has all been their own implementation of it and not part of the standard, and as far as I’m aware android RCS gets routed through Google’s servers.

I wonder if RCS support is Apple trying to appease the EU with the DMA stuff forcing messaging apps to be interoperable with each other.

She’s already quit over “integrity” because she sent an attachment over her personal gmail account, so I guess she just doesn’t want to be seen as a repeat offender.

It feels more like she’s thinking she can say it and get away with it to me. If she gets fired, she can always proclaim that the woke left has infiltrated the party and got her fired.

No, I don’t think I will

I’ll trust what the cyber security and privacy experts say.

Facebook might know who you’re messaging but that’s also true for Signal.

Signal’s sealed sender does a good job at knowing you’re sending a message, but not who to. All it’ll know on the receiving end is that a message was sent to it.

Of course people have found other methods of identifying this but sealed sender does cover most of the low hanging fruit.

Signal does also purposefully attempt to find ways to not collect any metadata, whilst also making it more difficult for anyone attacking to the servers to find anything. (e.g. ORAM for Secure Enclave operations)

My understanding is that meta used E2EE on your messages themselves, but everything else is up for grabs.
