They're adopting the RCS protocol, that's what people should want

Standard RCS is not e2ee, only google's implementation on top of it is. I feel most here would prefer an e2ee messaging protocol over something else that can be observed by third parties

Samsung is the only other company that integrated Google's e2ee implementation into their stock messages app fairly recently, it's supported standard RCS for a good number of years now

Just to clarify: this affects Beeper Mini which sends iMessages directly from Android, not the full Beeper app that sends iMessages via a Mac bridge

Anybody crashing a Cybertruck at highway speeds into one of those is instantly turned into red colored mashed potatoes

Why does that sound delicious 😭

Element has added so much to Matrix that the barrier for even making an MVP app is a bit intimidating IMO

Yes please. Very frustrating encountering businesses and groups that only have a presence on facebook, no dedicated website or anything 😒

48k subs and only 3 mods is quite the ratio difference, think they're probably sleeping too depending on their timezone

(The other mod accounts look like alts and bots)

This tool will have some really disgusting consequences if LLaMA-type leak happens 🤦‍♂️

Shame that nobody wants to stop Facebook!

At least "Twitter" can be blocked nice and easily, "X" is pretty damn tricky without catching stuff like Xylophones, Exercise, Xbox etc

If you plan on running Google services, it won't let you reset because of FRP...

In the unlikely event that the thief managed to bypass FRP, it will be reinstated by GMS as soon as there's a network connection, assuming the IMEI or Android device ID haven't been spoofed (either of these on a Samsung would trip the Knox hardware fuse and disable a lot of features, making the device worthless to anyone who isn't a power user)

On my older Fairphone though I think there's some documentation on how to bypass FRP, but you need to get authorization from Google for your specific device on your specific account otherwise GMS will not work

Ouch! Did you manage to purchase a replacement? The last time I checked out Sailfish it supported older xperias that can be a bit difficult to get a hold of...

Because it's from china doesn't mean anything though lol. So are our phones, clothes, bikes, car electronics, batteries, practically all electronics except hard drives etc.

Don't forget that there are talented individuals everywhere, regardless of whatever perceptions exist about their country of origin.

In this case, OP wants access to what they consider to be a good show, and that's that 🤷‍♂️🏴‍☠️

Edit: sorry, I may have misunderstood your post - free email != email masking.

My original post below...


Curious why you consider email address masking services as for those with "drastic anonymity" requirements?

I personally don't think so: they are pretty much just a digital P.O. box, and are typically not anonymous in any way (subpoena/court order to the provider). They are built-in to Firefox too, it will automatically create new ones OOTB as you sign up on websites, if you click the autofill.

They are however IMO one effective tool out of many to restrict the ability of data brokers and hacking groups (aggregated breach datasets) alike from making money from your online presence without your consent.

In almost all cases this data is freely searchable for law enforcement and private investigators, allowing them to avoid going through the legal system to investigate and possibly detain you for things you're not guilty of
