Shoutout to Beeper for being the first app to release RCS support on iPhone today! :akko_yay:

Managed to get in after a few months on the waitlist a few weeks ago, and I’m absolutely loving this app. Great alternative to Signal that has SMS support, as well as bridges for a ton of messaging apps (including Signal). Open source and end-to-end encrypted. Doesn’t need a phone number to sign up either. Only downside is you need a PC to set it up atm :(

Nevertheless, super excited for them to open registrations up without a waitlist in the next couple months so more people can try it out.

Damn, actually being able to use both of my Fedi accounts in one app is really nice.

NixNet's still acting slow, but not as bad as the website itself. Hm... :akko_mmh:

They appear to have blocked Proton VPN and Mullvad VPN's websites too... So that's lovely

There seems to be an issue in #Australia atm where some customers under the largest internet provider we have here ( #Telstra ) are having their #YouTube accounts locked into restricted mode "by your network administrator" regardless of the user's age.
It's seemingly random. My younger sister has it, but I don't, and my friend in another household does.

It's bypassable by VPN, but Telstra have blocked so many sites at this point. This is obviously some sort of mistake, but it...worries me that this is even something they could do.

What's next? ISP's censoring search, and purposefully this time? Wouldn't surprise me

@48kRAM@oldbytes.space And then sometimes either the website or your internet is playing up and you get the wonderful experience of both :blobcatgoogly:
