iMessage can also run over e-mail.

And RCS was designed by the GSMA which is effectively a bunch if telecommunications companies.

Well for one, iMessage runs over the internet and Apple isn't a telecom company (Verizon, etc)

Either way, the TL;DR is that either there must be a backdoor or something else to allow law enforcement to access communications that run over telecom companies. This doesn't apply when a user does it, but definitely when telecom companies design a messaging protocol.

No I mean the new bitwarden app works completely offline lol

cyrus , 2 months ago to Technology in Bitwarden has launched a new authenticator app

Didn't say it wasn't, however you said that this new app was tied to online sync, which it is not.

Have you heard if VaultWarden?

cyrus , 2 months ago to Technology in Bitwarden has launched a new authenticator app

This new app is offline.

Ente.io is working on a desktop app. Whilst its experimental, you can get it from the releases page on their github

Yeah that's the function, playing around with it would still be fun though? Especially data mining and seeing what else there is apart from the LAM server leak.

The idea is that it can then work both says, like https://ente.io/auth does

If you look at the roadmap they have in the blogpost, they are apparently planning tighter integration with the existing bitwarden suite

cyrus , 2 months ago to Technology in Bitwarden has launched a new authenticator app

To those that are confused about this:

Bitwarden does indeed handle TOTP directly in the password manager, but only on paid accounts and only logged in.

This is a completely offline app, separate from your existing Bitwarden account, that is entirely free.

It might serve as an alternative to e.g Aegis to some.

cyrus , 2 months ago to Privacy in Discord to start showing ads in the coming week after resisting for almost a decade

the Voice Server Backend is basically done, currently there's ongoing re-works of the desktop client (limited demo at https://revolt.chat/app IIRC), as well as closed betas for iOS and Android native apps.

There's also a slew of Third-Party Clients and an open Client-Server API.

Just remember that this project is built by people in their free time, not a VC-Backed company.

They've actually ran adverts at the border of sweden telling politicians and alike that were going there to vote on IIRC ChatControl to vote against it

Mullvad is probably the best example of using ads for something good
