Est ce que c'est une bonne idée de vouloir faire une messagerie compatible avec #RCS / #SMS / #MMS et #matrix et #XMPP ?
C'est à dire qu'une personne avec un numéro de téléphone pourrait faire une discussion de groupe avec un compte matrix et un compte XMPP et encore une autre qui n'a que les SMS.
You have to analyse every Apple announcement through the lens of how it will use it to maintain its market power and attack regulation. So, will Apple’s promised Rich Communication Services (RCS) support make iMessage fully interoperable at least with Google’s Messages? What would the most grudging compliance with Chinese 5G regulations look like?
Google apparently makes RCS support ubiquitous regardless of carrier support (via IP), as well as using a specific telco gateway. Will Apple do the same, or push individual telcos to enable RCS support on their networks? (Many already do.)
Apple won’t support Google’s end-to-end encryption extension but instead work to standardise it in RCS. How long will that take?
Trade body GSMA is responsible for the RCS standard. Telcos in the past, unlike Internet developers, have been most open to developing backdoored encryption standards for mobile communications. Will Google and Apple be able to override this here?
I haven’t tried digging out a good translation of the relevant Chinese 5G regulations, but they are allegedly the source of Apple’s change of mind on RCS support. Supporting it within a single country of course does not mean support anywhere else in the world. Many (most?) of the DMA gatekeepers are trying to limit DMA benefits to their EU users (and in Apple’s case withdrawing them once a user leaves the EU for 30 days!)
⏳ A History of Source Control Systems: SCCS and RCS (Part 1) | David Soria Parra
「 Source Control Management (SCM) Systems, have a long and rich history. As the systems evolved, so have their concepts, use cases and adoption over time. While SCMs are ubiquitous in modern software development, they have been fairly novel in the 80s and 90s, and arguable it took the rise of Git and Github for them to be used nearly everywhere 」
Google Just Revealed When Apple Will Officially Adopt RCS: Possible Northern Hemisphere Fall 2024
The Android developer just published an updated landing page for Google Messages, showing off key features ranging from customization, privacy and security, and, of course, AI.
On this landing page, there are different sections for each feature s ...continues
"Bisher hat Apple RCS nicht unterstützt, was dazu führte, dass die Kommunikation zwischen iPhone- und 👉Android-Nutzern 👈oft frustrierend war. Mit der Einführung von RCS auf dem iPhone werden diese Probleme endlich behoben sein."
Ich interpretiere das so, dass es #RCS auf Android geben sollte. Beim Mobilfunk unterstützen die Provider m.W. meist nicht einmal mehr #MMS--wie geht das zusammen?--Nur über Apps wie WhatsApp und Threema?
Haben die nicht ohnehin jeweils ihre eigenen Standards?
Ne réussissant pas vraiment à convaincre mes proches à #Signal, je me demandais s'il existait des applications libres prenant en charge les #RCS ?
Je sais que c'est un protocole initié par #Google et qui, progressivement, va s'étendre aux iPhones d'Apple. Ce système prend en compte l'envoi de vidéos, les discussions de groupe, les "réactions"...
Je suis sous /e/OS dégooglisé.
Looks like iMessage won't be forced to integrate with third-parties in the EU but they'll still need to bring #RCS. Frankly I think its a great compromise.
#Cybersecurity#Apple#Encryption#Messaging#RCS: "On its own, the core RCS protocol is currently not any more secure than SMS. The protocol is not encrypted by default, meaning that anyone at your phone company or any law enforcement agent (ordinarily with a warrant) will be able to see the contents and metadata of your RCS messages. The RCS protocol by itself does not specify or recommend any type of end-to-end encryption. The only encryption of messages is in the incidental transport encryption that happens between your phone and a cell tower. This is the same way it works for SMS.
But what’s exciting about RCS is its native support for extensions. Google has taken advantage of this ability to implement its own plan for encryption on top of RCS using a version of the Signal protocol. As of now, this only works for users who are both using Google’s default messaging app (Google Messages), and whose phone companies support RCS messaging (the big three in the U.S. all do, as do a majority around the world)."
I’d lightweight been considering trying an #iPhone once a few of my nits were solved—and #Apple appeared to be systematically addressing them over the years:
But now they’re throwing a monumental tantrum and behaving in the most entitled, anti-consumer way possible—if you wrote it into a fictional plot, you’d get dragged for being unrealistically over the top!
So I’ve again lost interest. Apple can keep poisoning their walled garden; it doesn’t affect me. 🤷
@thhareau #RCS c'est un protocole standard que seul Google s'est donné la peine d'implémenter ouais… Apple cette année normalement.
Pour les utilisateurs Android, c'est juste un bouton pour passer de SMS à RCS, le moins de friction pour l'adoption d'une messagerie universelle, et chiffrée en l'occurrence.
@unnameduser#RCS ne remplacera jamais entierement #SMS puisqu'il fonctionne sur le réseau donnés Internet (et surtout sur des serveurs #Jibe de Google). Il peut franchir les frontières si les pays impliqués ne bloquent pas l'accès aux serveurs ou au donnés (comme tout autre messenger). SMS fonctionne au niveau des connexions cellulaire, avant même la voix et surtout les donnés, mais elle est fourni et geré par chaque telco.
