So many of these comments are pulling up the other encrypted alternatives that you can use between iPhone and other platforms. But few seem to actually be addressing the problem of actually getting other non-tech savvy people to use this stuff because they don’t actually see a problem with what they have.

You may not realize it, but not everyone is thinking about whether or not their messages are encrypted. My own family looks at me like “🤨” when I try to convince them to use something encrypted, like I’m trying to hide a crime or something. And I’ve only gotten my parents to use other services (WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger with end to encryption turned on) by digging my heels to get them to stop using SMS. I still haven’t convinced my almost 16-year-old sister (she doesn’t really message me that much anyway. But she’s in that phase where she thinks she’s all independent, and her first places are the simple stuff she knows).

Might I add that digging your heels at every attempt for someone to use SMS isn’t socially acceptable. I’ve only done it because they’re family and I love them

I fear for the digital literacy of Gen Alpha

I too would love to have a conversation of holding hands with a giant Kobold mommy

Maybe now I’ll finally be able to buy the ones I want

This honestly feels like some 3-month early April fool’s joke. A smartphone more dependent on an external set of servers than what Google already has.

It would also require that social media sites use “reasonable age verification methods” to verify users’ ages.

Please no :/

Lol the wording and design of it all. Subscribe to use without ads, picture of a credit card. Versus Use for free with ads, picture of a shooting star:

Plus the little “your current experience” highlighted in green. And finally “use for free” highlighted in blue.

They really want you to go with the second option so they can try to prove to the court that people want free stuff. When most of them were likely unconsciously coerced into it.

The clickbait in this article is so bad, I thought it was a security vulnerability or something, but it’s just something else related to Mozilla again.

I’m still genuinely curious if Mozilla is going to actually accept a renewal for the search deal with Google, or if they’re actually going to start practicing with a praise and try implementing that search engine selection screen.

I would love to get those but as shorts
