Also, I suck at using the app as well.

as mentioned, not super active, but using Jeroba and hadn't managed to find the modtools

And that irony now is that messenger on Android is RCS compliant and currently has this exact functionality, except it's less trustworthy.

Once again I'm using one messenger and everyone else who's using an RCS messenger gets encrypted, but SMS (clearly marked as such) is a viable fallback.

I think Signal shot themselves squarely in the dick by removing SMS functionality.

Previously, you could use Signal as the primary SMS/messenger app. Any conversations with other Signal clients secure. Conversations in SMS/MMS? Marked as not-secure.

But, out of some purity concerns, SMS functionality was removed and the dev team focused on adding useless shit like "stickers" and then the pin-code harassment.

Signal adoption plummeted as intended (?)

Easy! Just replace their usual SMS app with Signal, and then every contact they have that does use Signal is private and secure!

Oh. Wait. That's exactly the functionality that Signal removed in their effort to ensure that Signal is never widely adopted.....

It's pretty well established that any biometric can just be taken from you


facial recognition is super easy and it won't be hard to force your thumb onto the sensor.

This is also the case for things like blood draw for blood alcohol testing.

The only unlock key that's (probably) truly yours is something inside your brain.

The Vektar, the worlds first computer bike, was launched in 1985 long before we had health and safety laws. Equipped with ‘micro chip technology’ the rider could see how fast they were going, how far they had gone and how long they had been riding for at the touch of a button. The head’s down display ensured that you would ride into the back of your mate or a kerb as you fiddled with the control panel.

If that wasn’t enough you could listen to the radio on one of the three AM preset stations either while riding the bike or parked up hanging out with their pals. Later models came with a MW tuner giving even less crappy sound quality.

The main feature though was the advanced warning and alarm system. Once you had chosen one of the eight sounds from the ‘revolutionary sound generator’ on the top tube mounted control panel, you could use the handlebar mounted controller to terrorise old ladies as you rallied around the housing estate
