End of software support is fast approaching and i got a good deal on a like new Honor Magic V5.

Also the screen was dying and the battery wasn’t far off either. It’s still a fantastic phone though

i wish i hadn’t just replaced my Note 20 Ultra now

I was thinking of RCS security apparently, but was mainly talking about what’s theoretically possible.

There’s nothing stopping someone creating a E2E encrypted SMS app. The medium doesn’t matter, only the data. You could have end to end encrypted carrier pigeons if you want.

Yep, you lock with the public key and unlock with the private.

You can’t unlock with the public, it’s one way only

don’t they also receive the public keys and can then also decrypt the messages??

A public key is used to encrypt a message, you need the private key to decrypt.

That’s why you have public key servers. it doesn’t matter who has the public key, all they can do with it is encrypt information that only the private key holder can decrypt.

The more I think about it, the more I am convinced I don’t understand how any encryption works because the intended recipient needs the key to decrypt it

The way it was explained to me that finally made it click was so:

Imagine you have a lockable box (public key) and a key (private key), the box is empty so you give it to your friend. it doesn’t matter if anyone sees the open box because there’s nothing in it. your friend puts something private for you in the box and locks it. People see the box as he’s bringing it to you but they can’t see what’s in the box because neither him nor the people watching have the key to the box; only you do. once it gets to you you can open the box with your key

But should intent excuse otherwise unacceptable content

Define unacceptable? It’s subjective. A lot of people had a problem with the cover for Nirvanas Nevermind.

It’s not misinformation. SMS can have end to end encryption if the messages exchanged between two people in a conversation are encrypted.

It’s an add on, in much the way PGP encryption works for email. the first handshake is unencrypted and includes each participants public keys, after that you can have it automatically encrypt each message

you can configure some phones to encrypt all sms messages.

It’s a bit like PGP email though in that, despite it working, no one seems to use it

Does being naked make something sexual? I would argue that for content to be sexual it has to have intent to cause arousal.

The fact that it vaguely resembles fetish content does not in and of it’s self make it fetish content.

The trailers i have seen for this game do not seem to intend to cause arousal, they seem to want to make the player empathize with the plight of domesticated animals

Just bought it out of principle on GOG. It’s $3, you should too

Also saw OBAA in the cinema. I still like the cinema experience

DAWs

I am told by most sound engineers i know that Logic Pro is the bee knees. i don’t have any experience in the field myself but it’s certainly not the only Mac only software. Linux being the only true cross platform compatible OS though would be a HUGE selling point for it

It certainly has a lot of potential

it’s the same way we keep kids from buying alcohol - by checking EVERYONE’S ID

Tell him there’s a big different between checking an ID and making copies of one

That’s just the tankie triad. there are lemmy instances that aren’t run by nutters, feddit.uk for example

Different software on the same protocol

Logic Pro?

Bamboo grows like mould in a slumlords apartment block

There was a big exodus to signal for a while a couple years ago when meta were fucking with their whatsapp privacy policy, similar to the exodus from reddit to lemmy.

Having your infrastructure on a cloud provider allows you to keep your costs in line with your current amount of users, if you have a big influx you can immediately scale up to accommodate them, and then when that spike in users dies off as they invariably do you can scale back down instead of being left with a load of hardware you’ve just bought for your new users (that have since fucked off) and now aren’t using

Praise Jod for your comment. I’d jive you a jift but i don’t know where you live
