2. Be civil
- Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
- Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.

- These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
3. Post Linux-related content
- Including Unix and BSD.
- Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of
sudo
in Windows.
- No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
4. No recent reposts
- Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
Please report posts and comments that break these rules!
Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility.

Meanwhile in the US and Canada: So, I'll just send an SMS, k?
Also in the US: Blue SmS right?
Teenagers are the only ones who care about that
I think a lot of tech-savvy adults care about E2E on blue iMessage bubbles. I won’t talk about sensitive information via green, that’s all going to signal.
Imma burst your bubble (pun intended) but that's such a small part of the population and even such a small part of the tech savvy population that I don't think it's much of an argument.
That’s fair! I’m just going by my own experiences. But I have a lot of tech-savvy friends and acquaintances and even many non-tech-savvy mates are into Signal vs SMS because it’s secure, has great audio/video chat, and it’s not owned by shudders Facebook. I personally do not touch any google or Facebook products or services.
Apple gives it funny colours? Google messages just change saturation. Also for some reason I can't send RCS (and e2e encrypted) messages to my relatives with apple phones. But I got most of them to use Signal :>
I just recently read something about, that apple needs to use RCS by the end of 2023.
Isn't end to end an encryption broken if any of the clients use the feature to send from Mac OS
DAE Apple bad?!?!?!!!1
This just comes off as defensive and needy. I'm not even sure if encryption is affected by syncing with icloud, I was just raising a concern if that was a real reason for using it
