About the encryption, I think it should be noted that it is misleading to use the phrase "end-to-end encryption" when a Big Brother such as Apple holds the keys. Because Apple's software is closed and proprietary, a user will not know how keys are handled, whatever Apple do it is not meaningful to call it "end-to-end encryption". That requires open source software. If Apple says E2E, that's a scam from Apple, let us not be fooled.
@eliasr @hehemrin @reality2cast @dsearls @katherined That's the frustrating part, and I think I alluded to it in one or more of the podcast episodes. If it *IS* R2-D2 encryption, then awesome. But there's no way to know for sure that even if we manage the keys locally, that they're really the keys, or that they're not created in some non-pure way.
So while it might be great, we can't confidently assume so, regardless of what they call it.
@shawnp0wers @eliasr @hehemrin @reality2cast @dsearls R2-D2 encryption will never get old. I stand by this. 🤣 (for context, I sent a group message to Shawn and others in which autocorrect transformed e2e to R2-D2 and the world is better for it.)
