It need to talk RCS first, then it could encrypt with MLS.
Like web browser that needs to speak http and then encrypts the traffic via TLS.
Isn’t dMLS just MLS but adopted for multiple servers?
Nope. This is standard purely for encrypting messages, nothing to do with open APIs or formatting messages themselfs. Basically TLS but for E2EE instead of SSL.
Only if Signal developers want to swap their Signal encryption protocol for MLS. And I doubt they will for next years, as MLS is not as battle tested yet. Signal is laser focus on security for “normies”, not interoperability or free software.
Good to remind that MLS is just an end2end encryption standard, not whole messaging standard. And like TLS is useless on it’s own and needs content protocol like HTTP to combine it with.
Stil really good, since this means bridges between networks adopting MLS, like XMPP, Matrix and RCS could work with full E2EE.
Some Xiaomi phones have this:
Wallabag is nice, you share a link and it archives it’s content like in reader view.
Companies to protect us from problem they created.
I see that initial setup require using Beeper’s desktop client.
Interpersonal communication is too important to use a closed apps, better to wait for those convinient features to arrive at free ones.
Yes, 100% propietary client.
You cannot see how the app works, cannot change how it works, cannot tell anyone how it works…
Huge deal for something as basic and important as interpersonal communication.
I’m glad for their work for the ecosystem. But when user respecting alternative is available, a propietary app should be thrown in a trash bin.
Instead of a fish, I’m going to give you a rod.

And the fact it’s clients are propietary is not making it better.
Beeper is a Matrix client that have easy bridging interface.
They do very much for Matrix and the bridging ecosystem is live because of them. But client apps are 100% propietary, nonfree software, so it’s better to stay away now 😔.
Pretty much, it’s going to be secured on VLAN and firewall anyway. Can be a preconfigured password, a pair button.
Can be a web interface, but one that does not send me an app compiled to JavaScript to run and those are hard to find there days. Can be even an SSH connection.
Most of those are propietary and unnessesary exist.
WebKit, rendering engine for Safari, is open source. As it has to be because it was copylefted KHTML.
But the rest of the browser is not, Safari is closed source. Worth noting is that even if it was, you wouldn’t be able to run version adapted for yourself because you every code executed on Apple devices needs their approval.
