@prologic @lyse It’s better this way. 😂 I don’t like all this negativity in tech. We tend to focus on bad aspects too much, imho. Then again, it’s *really easy* to focus on bad stuff, simply because there’s so much of it. 😂

It's also funny to read their terms and conditions:

NEITHER THE OFFERINGS NOR CROWDSTRIKE TOOLS ARE FOR USE IN THE OPERATION OF AIRCRAFT NAVIGATION, NUCLEAR FACILITIES, COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS, WEAPONS SYSTEMS, DIRECT OR INDIRECT LIFE-SUPPORT SYSTEMS, AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL, OR ANY APPLICATION OR INSTALLATION WHERE FAILURE COULD RESULT IN DEATH, SEVERE PHYSICAL INJURY, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
That's why all airports remained operational. Oh wait…

Small extract:
> "Conceptually, Advanced Data Protection is simple: All CloudKit Service keys that were generated on device and later uploaded to the available-after-authentication iCloud Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) in Apple data centers are deleted from those HSMs and instead kept entirely within the account’s iCloud Keychain protection domain. They are handled like the existing end-to-end encrypted service keys, which means Apple can no longer read or access these keys."
@movq No, no, not snarky at all. That's just their Aussie name. :-)

@bender i'm thinking it's probably worth to try and implement both features as use for configurable preferences just so that we can see what it's like. 🤣 The default, of course would be the regular pagination that exists now.

@prologic I was going to say, it could be a setting. I prefer infinite scrolling, but I know there is a strong movement against it. 😅
@lyse Heh 😀 This is why we've always implemented features that have differing opinions as either user options, configuration or feature gated 🤣

@prologic Right, I hate it. I'd stick to regular pagination and page sizes that are reasonable large. But if you think another approach is better, go for it. It's your sofware after all.

@lyse So you neither like "Click to Load" nor "Infinite Scroll" eh? I mean I sort of get it, infinite scroll is kind of annoying as you never really know wtf is going on. Click to Load misses out on "how many pages", "what page you're on", etc. But is it really that bad? 🤔

Ah, thanks, @bender! Yeah, that combines the disadvantages of both approaches and successfully throws away the advantages. I actually know at least two webshops with that terrible UI.

>(I don’t really trust Android, though, and I suspect that apps can still install background services that are always active. Pure speculation and paranoid on my part, but still.)
Which is fair, but I would say the GrapheneOS devs in particular are also quite paranoid about this stuff and go to great pains to make sure this stuff can be controlled by the user.

@prologic Messages are e2e encrypted. SMS/MMS are not, but that’s not Apple’s fault. You can configure it, so it doesn’t fall back to SMS/MMS if that’s what you want.
Apple isn’t implementing RCS because of Google (which, arguably, doesn’t even support it). 😂
@bender Messages (formally known as iMessages) has always lacked e2e encryption though and often falls back to using SMS which is worse for security and privacy. -- OTOH this might be all changing for the better with Google lounging for a new standard? 🤔 (Although I do have to wonder: "What's in it for Google?")

@prologic less noise on the discover view, right?
@lyse not what you want. Instead of an infinite scrolling, it will render until a point, then give you a link to load the next batch. Rinse and repeat.

Hmmmmmmm, I like that idea. If I could ban WhatsApp into a second profile and only switch it on every now and then, I would feel a little bit better about it.

I tried Signal, and I didn't like it. I don't like the interface, I don't like one has to rely on a relatively small company infrastructure. It has bugs, and issues: sometimes messages will deliver, sometimes they will not.
Nothing has been more stable for me (as an Apple user, that is) than Messages. It comes with the OS, it is beautiful, and it just works.

I admit I've always compromised on this way too much myself, always to this day having Facebook Messenger just to communicate in my families group chats. Sure I run it in a Work profile on my GrapheneOS phone that I can switch off at any time, I can completely cut it off from network access any time as well, I can have a lot of rudimentary control over it, I use it as sparingly as possible, but it doesn't change the fact everytime I use it we're funneling private convos through bloody Meta's servers and trackers etc.
