Why would an organization use OMEMO if it doesn’t fit their requirements? OMEMO isn’t necessary for encrypting xmpp communications. Also, I get the concern that only the original client will have a full history of the user, but most people don’t need a complete chat history. Or put another way, wanting a complete, unencrypted chat history is relatively orthogonal to wanting perfect forward secrecy.

That is how perfect forward secrecy is supposed to work.

I thought Bitwarden was focused on migrating to native mobile apps. Haven’t followed closely since the beta started rolling out, but perhaps some of the quality of life issues will be taken care of with that process over?

Even just watching other open source projects go through it is demoralizing to me, and I’m not a contributor.

Also attributed to burnout.

I use Google files in an effort to minimize the amount of 3rd party software on my phone - particularly when it comes to file access.

I switched. Not happy about it and will continue to consider it a factor in my next, but that will be years from now and I’m sure the list will be even smaller.

Amazon is moving away from Android. This move isn’t exactly surprising. It is disappointing though, imo. From my limited testing, I was able to side load an xmpp app on Android and message, voice call, video call seamlessly. In theory, the ability for developers of some types of apps to target Android and reach Windows without writing a touch of Windows-specific or accommodating code was a huge opportunity for open source developers to effortlessly reach cross-platform audiences.

I mostly blame Apple for walling off the default text messaging app on the iOS platform. It is ridiculous to me that we are over 10 years into the smartphone era and are stuck in a duopoly with two players that would rather degrade communications between platforms than prioritize interoperability for some base level functionality. I hope that Beeper’s campaign forces regulation that puts an end to the insanity.

No major issues with the upgrade to 14, yet. On a pixel 7a. Not that I spend much time in the play store, but that design has become less pleasant over time.
