@BigAngBlack @blackmastodon @BlackMastodon Before the Civil War, the congressional chambers were air-conditioned by slaves, who carried tons of ice in wheelbarrows and hand-cranked the fans.

Modern vampire lore will tell you that you should use a stake to dispatch of a vampire.

But German folklore tells us that a peat spade will do in a pinch.

@juergen_hubert @germany @folklore Every now and then they find a corpse chained into the coffin. People took this stuff very seriously.

@Mountaineer @gregorum Apple is going to implement RCS, the EU put pressure on them.

However I am surprised that Beeper was able to do this in software. With everyone else using an Apple device as a proxy, I figured the protocol required a magic handshake from the TPM chip in an Apple device. That would be easy to do.

mike805 ,

@BearOfaTime I have RCS and use it. It works fine. I have not noticed significant reliability problems, using Google's servers. If there are problems it's likely the carrier's garbage implementation.

There is no standard here in the USA except SMS.

mike805 ,

@Mountaineer Encryption needs to be added to the standard, and then Apple will be expected to implement it. Hopefully the EU knocks some heads together and makes this happen.

WhatsApp is owned by Facebook and has ads, which is two good reasons not to use it. Europeans are just as "stuck with a bad standard" as Americans are here.

I use RCS quite a bit and like it. Although nothing on a phone should be regarded as truly secure.

mike805 ,

@HeartyBeast @stefano @Haphazard9479 Google put up their own because the carriers botched the rollout. The carriers were very fast to deploy MMS servers because they could charge by the picture. Now that they no longer can do that, they were in no hurry to do the upgrade.

Using Pixel phones, RCS is pretty nice. You do get the three step confirmation (sent, received, read) and end to end encryption.

Hopefully Apple will implement the encryption.
