Yeah, but at least they've proven to be worthy of trust (contribute a lot to FOSS, offer ways to host your own iMessage server, warn about the insecurity). Sunbird has done the opposite.

If it becomes an open-source, decentralized service with bridges and more users than Matrix, I'd consider it.

Beeper is pretty good with it, as they make it clear that it's insecure and use an encrypted protocol to get the messages to the server. Still, it's better to host your own (which Beeper lets you do, as it's just Matrix) or not use it.

No, it's even less secure than expected. We expected that Sunbird would have access to your Apple ID and messages. Instead, everyone in the world has access to your Apple ID and messages.

It seems that Starship, the second stage, experienced RUD from the automated FTS at around the time it was expected to shut off its engines.

Edit: RUD is Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly. Basically an explosion. FTS is Flight Termination System, which explodes a rocket if something goes wrong in a potentially dangerous way.

Probably a Pixel. They're pretty good, especially if you install something like GrapheneOS.

I thought it was last Thursday.

Ariane 5 is retired. Ariane 6 isn't ready yet. Vega is small. What medium-lift launch capacity do they have?

It's totally valid in most cases. It's technically only supposed to be used for a question, but language is based on how it's most commonly used, with those "rules" only applying in extremely formal situations. With the prevalence of informal text-based communication, many people use it to indicate being unsure, like how you used it. I just wanted to continue the chain of grammar corrections (which is why I used the wrong "its"/"it's" at one point). Also, you were right about the quotes.

A question mark does not fit the sentence, which is a statement ("they should." rather than "should they?"). While question marks are commonly used to demonstrate a rising tone at the end of a sentence, its not considered correct for formal writing.

Be extremely careful. Plenty of people are really smart and malicious, so you need to isolate it from everything on your network. You're giving random people remote code execution on your local network, which is like the worst case scenario for security.

A mirror? Light won't reflect off of nothing. The closest you'll get is gravitational lensing, but that requires about a galaxy's worth of mass to make any noticeable difference.
