All these thoughts are unfortunately completely irrelevant. Whatever I think about #Telegram (or #Signal for that matter) doesn't matter when I don't know almost anybody using it. All my friends, family, and such are on #WhatsApp so that's it for me. I actually use a bridge (by #Element, paid for) from #Matrix, but without that I would either have to use their app or be that strange guy who communicates only via #SMS (as I was for many years).

First, they shut down the Basic HTML site, forcing many of us to switch to clients such as Thunderbird. Now, they're using qr codes which are not only inaccessible to the blind but also to those who don't use smartphones! This is ridiculous! Yes, they do still have the option to click whether it's you trying to sign in or not (which still requires a smartphone and a carrier, which they claim to be concerned about), but how long before they remove that, too?

Na klar, na? Da soll ich also schnellstens mein Online-Banking unter "klarna-verfahren.com" über den Link in der SMS "aktualisieren". Als ob ich freiwillig einen solchen Service überhaupt nutzen würde. Alles Klar, na?

(PS: Hab solche SMS bislang nie bekommen, sehe so etwas also zum ersten Mal aus erster Hand)

T-Mobile Employees Across The Country Receive Cash Offers To Illegally Swap SIMs

I still stand by this: if #sms #mfa wasn’t still massively used (especially by the financial sector), sim swaps would be less attractive to sim swappers.

It’s also crazy so much trust is placed in telecoms guarding your phone number and MFA factor for your bank. 🫨

If you're using (or thinking of switching to) @aaisp VoIP services and also use #xmpp, the incredible singpolyma of jmp.chat and cheogram.com fame has set up an #sms bridge for general use. To set up:

  1. Add xmpp:cheogram.com to your contacts
  2. Type 'register aa.sgx.soprani.ca'
  3. Type in your phone number and SIP password, and follow instructions for sending incoming messages to the bridge.

Code is at git.singpolyma.net/sgx-aa with more updates on the way; feel free to support singpolyma's work on jmp.chat and liberapay.com/singpolyma
