@npub1yyx…qa5g I’m just so tired of everyone crying wolf at any perceived slight. It makes the real fights harder to have.

@npub1sdu…w074 my opinion is that it should be an absurdly high and accelerating per seat fee. Which means indies pay nothing (because you’re solo) and Facebook pays tons.

@npub1utv…87lr I think every interest group has decided to go with “let’s make Apple sound as evil as possible” instead of “Apple’s concessions are good but do not go far enough.

TIL that iOS will generate a pull-quote for you. Highlight some text in safari, then use the “share” button to send a text message. You’ll get an opengraph-looking embed.

@npub1eee…e209 the loophole they can close is already known. Currently, Beeper Mini is reusing the identity of a single Mac for all their clients.
Apple could start validating the identities of older Macs enrolling and preventing Mac identifiers from registering phone numbers.
You’d end up needing to reuse the device identifiers of an old iPhone. Still feasible, but not scalable.

Make sure they intend for that clear to be the final finish, some ready-to-paint frames have clear coat that isn’t UV resistant/blocking and it can yellow or allow the carbon to get damaged over time.

@npub1eee…e209 @npub105v…805n one important note: even if/when an encrypted RCS standard comes out, it’ll still be vulnerable to a downgrade attack (that is, someone pretending to be the recipient saying “I don’t support encrypted RCS messages”). iMessage never had a non-E2EE version and so can’t be downgraded.
