It’s all about the bubbles.

Samsung has released a new video in support of Google’s #GetTheMessage campaign which calls for Apple to adopt RCS or “Rich Communication Services,” the cross-platform protocol pitched as a successor to SMS that adopts many of the features found in modern messaging apps… like Apple’s own iMessage.

    Just download Signal. Cross platform, verifably E2E, and verifiably no data collected by Open Whisper (as per their submission in a lawsuit). Also, one of the authors/architects of Signal occasionally trolls the companies that provide mobile spyware.

      How does Signal communicate with non signal users?

      99% of the people I txt with would never use Signal…

          Doors matrix offer any benefits, if no one else you know uses it?

          I looked it up, I’m confused. I can’t find any matrix app.

          Just something about an introperability spec. With cool features but still…

            Doors matrix offer any benefits,

            Yes. Interop outside of matrix, thanks to bridges.

            I can’t find any matrix app.

            WDYM you can’t find any? Are you searching for a matrix client for a light bulb? Or client for a fridge?

            Jokes aside for PCs and phones’ official client is Element, it can be used in browser or installed locally anywhere(Electron, duh). If you prefer something more native, then you can choose nheko for PC.

            EDIT: you can get Element in F-Droid

            EDIT2: apparently Thunderbird supports matrix too. Well, Thunderbird supported federated protocols since the beginning.

              Exactly you said “matrix” like it’s an app itself

              I’ll play with Element this weekend, but so far I’m seeing exactly zero benefits your average person. Sure it might be interesting if you have a mostly techy group that will install stuff.

              This discussion is reminiscence of the “Linux” on the desktop one… (And why Linux still only has what? 1-2% market share)

      I tried using signal but I had a lot of problems with it. I wouldn’t get my messages. The people I messaged didn’t get my messages. There was an emergency and someone couldn’t get ahold of me when they really needed to. After that I deleted signal and moved on. That’s just my experience. Yours could be different.
