Green bubble texts are less secure. So why would Apple block a new app allowing Android users to chat with iPhone users on iMessage? Big Tech executives are protecting profits by squashing competitors.
Chatting between different platforms should be easy and secure.

New app alert: I've been working on Beeper for a while and today we're launching! It's a single app to chat on iMessage, WhatsApp, and 13 other networks. Been using it as my default chat client for the last 2 years and there is NO going back. Check it out beeperhq.com

Last Sunday the UK/US/CA/AU/NZ/IN/JP govts issued a statement asking tech companies to add backdoors into E2E encryption. This is a big deal: unfortunately *backdoors do not work*. Read about our alternative: combating abuse via decentralised reputation.🔒 matrix.org/blog/2020/10/19/c…

every library should have a good science fiction and fantasy section – at Perth, Western Australia
ALT a set of books labelled "fiction and fantasy" that include books like "Real World Haskell", "JavaScript: The Good Parts", "Effective XML", "Predictable Success", "Flawless Consulting"

What a surpri... nope, not at all, this is exactly what I expected from WhatsApp. Switch to Riot/@matrixdotorg right now! xitter.cf/hackernewsbot/status/8…
github.com didn't go down, only the backend went down. Sites like that only check if the website returns something.
CBS & Paramount had plenty of much better options than suing (e.g. funding Axanar and then distributing it for profit)
The fact that the suit itself is turning people away is completely the fault of CBS & Paramount, not Axanar.
