It’s so odd so many people still believe the Warren Commission when another commission about 1973 ruled there were at least two shooters, one in front on the grassy knoll.
The first doctors to treat him documented an entrance wound at his trachea.
I honestly feel defeated right now, it feels like currently it’s impossible to truly stay private online unless one is willing to move to a cabin in the woods with no internet and you stop using tech all together and truly become a ghost and stay offline. Can someone help me feel like everything I am currently doing is...
It’s interesting to me to see articles about this now, when the first rewards card I saw (every bit of 20 years ago) it was obvious why they would give you such steep discounts for using nothing more than a free card.

So there is this app claiming on-device iMessage functionality on Android. Seems cool but only has subscription based pricing. Does anyone know of a way to circumvent this?...
IPhone users have a weird obsession with Blue bubbles. The rest of us find it childish and annoying. They refuse to use any messenger other than iMessage.
I have a friend, not currently on iPhone, who was having trouble with SMS (note that SMS has a known message failure rate of about 10%+). He refused to switch to another messaging app, doesn’t want to have multiple places to message from. 🤦♂️
This is the mindset of iMessage obsessors. Frankly I see it as pretty juvenile. They don’t want to put effort into solving a problem.
This same person always has dozens of notifications sitting in the notification shade. Stuff you just don’t need to see, that Android lets you silence. Or just app notifications. Well no wonder he doesn’t want another messenger, with that much garbage he wouldn’t know he got a new message.
I’d be shocked if Apple’s leadership hasn’t contracted a hitman yet.
Hahahahaha
It’s definitely shining a light on the limitations of iMessage, especially how imperfect it’s encryption is, so yea, that’s the kind of thing that hits a little close to home.
It’s nowhere near as convenient as Telegram, the clients on each OS are at best OK.
Show me conversation history when I login to Signal desktop. Oh, yea, it doesn’t do that. Is there even a web login?
From a typical user standpoint, Signal looks like text messaging, and that matters to them. And it’s not simple to manage.
Signal is coming along, and I look forward to when it’s mature enough that I can get people to use it (again). But they also made a massive mistake in dropping SMS support. That was my best tool to get people to switch. When they dropped SMS, those folks all left signal.
My main browser is Librewolf but I keep a chromium browser just in case. Previously used brave but their flatpak is shit. Ungoogled chromium seems ok but it looks like they don’t change much from upstream chromium. Any good chromium browsers which harden their browsers like librewolf does for more privacy?
Sometimes I find myself shopping for things that I’d prefer to go out and get within the same day, but now I’d have to order and wait a few days to get…So I’m wondering what some of those things may be for you?
Sounds like it transfers the ID Out-of-band, so that’s good, does the desktop get the chat history then? (It’s possible it pulls chat history from the phone).
Oh, I agree with the closed source issue. That makes it a no-sale for me.
Keep in mind that RCS is still SMS to anyone without Google Messages.
Also, the encryption in RCS is problematic - last time I read how it worked I wasn’t convinced it was as secure as advertised (I don’t recall why, but I think it’s because it’s not really E2E).

I have never used Google Messages but I will most likely have to start using it once RCS support is added on iOS....
