It's that quarterly time of the year again where Google whines about Apple not trusting Google after repeated failures while iMessage has been going strong for over a decade.

It’s the industry’s modern standard.

RCS is designed to work universally, so no matter where you live, who makes your phone or what it runs on, you can enjoy the same texting experience. And today, all of the major mobile carriers and manufacturers have adopted RCS as the standard — except for Apple. Apple refuses to adopt RCS and continues to rely on SMS when people with iPhones message people with Android phones, which means their texting is stuck in the 1990s.

Hopefully Apple can #GetTheMessage so we don’t have to keep waiting to remove the whole “green-versus-blue bubble” thing. Happy birthday, SMS — you were a great start, and you had a good run, but everyone is ready for an upgrade.

Muh bubble wubble war

r/android discuss

Apple sees the "ew, green bubble? Bye bye" texts from post-tinder messaging as a win. It's not about improving communication, it's about gating an ecosystem

No fr fr, the bubble wubble war is really real. Poors and people of poor taste didn't get too frick 4/10s because they had a green bubble

Anytime RCS comes up people always mention "just use WhatsApp or signal etc etc" except there's always going to need a carrier based/universal standard to link everything together. Google's tweaks to RCS is a really good choice for that standard tbh.

Their original goal was to get carriers to implement it themselves and only started hosting it themselves after US carriers tried to frick around by charging extra and limiting it to their own apps and only on their own networks.

Google's been slowly but surely (especially the slowly part unfortunately) making RCS better and better and it seems like they've finally settled on a messaging standard they aren't going to abandon, but I wish they'd get more aggressive with it. Release an API and partner directly with carriers to get them to RCS directly on their networks.

Here in Canada a carrier Freedom Mobile is about to be sold off to a smaller company, being able to advertise the most secure messaging service in the country and an iMessage like experience regardless of the phone you use would be pretty helpful for them and it would help with adoption.

Apple isn't going to add RCS unless the EU forces them too or Google puts the pressure on them in such a significant manner that they feel like they have to.

This dude thinks the EU is going too force one company they want too break up too use another company they want too break up system. Also thinks Google dragging their feet implementing the most basic thing a phone is used for besides talking too people is a great strat

Apple’s claim is that the gas fees required to send NFTs need to be paid through their In-App Purchase system, so that they can collect 30% of the gas fee.

My last CBT session ended with me realising one of my issues may be a lasting effect of bullying.

Good conversation. Among other things, we resolved the misunderstanding about Twitter potentially being removed from the App Store. Tim was clear that Apple never considered doing so.

Kraut Kids are stuck with libreoffice or google docs?

Germany's federal and state data protection authorities (DSK) have raised concerns about the compatibility of Microsoft 365 with data protection laws in Germany and the wider European Union.

According to the German watchdog's report [PDF], which was written after two years of negotiations with Microsoft, the body says that the product "remains in breach" of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

The 2020 working group was put together to bring the cloud service into line with the Schrems II decision of the European Court of Justice – and relates to ongoing European concerns about cloud data sovereignty, competition, and privacy rules.

Under the GDPR, children below the age of 13 are incapable of consenting to their data being collected, while consent may be given by those with parental responsibility for those under 16 but not younger than 13. When platforms do store data on adults, those customers are meant to be able to request the deletion of their records.

The report adds (translated from the German): "Many of the services included in Microsoft 365 require Microsoft to access the unencrypted, non-pseudonymized data."

The DSK report means the office suite is therefore not suitable for legally compliant use in schools or public authorities in Germany, although it won't affect use by businesses or consumers.

Microsoft has denied that its assessment of Office – sorry, Microsoft 365 – is accurate, claiming in a statement [PDF, translated from German]:

We ensure that our M365 products not only meet, but often exceed, the strict EU data protection laws. Our customers in Germany and throughout the EU can continue to use M365 products without hesitation and in a legally secure manner.

In the background are alterations made by Microsoft to a "data protection addendum" in September 2022 that the DSK claimed contained a "conceptually changed section as a result of the discussions with the working group about data processing" of telemetry and diagnostic data. The DSK goes on to claim that only the wording had changed, noting: "However, according to Microsoft, it has not made any adjustments to the actual processing," and that the US Clarifying Lawful Overseas Use of Data Act (CLOUD Act) of 2018 and FISA 702 provided "disproportionate access rights for US secret services [providing]... no judicial legal protection for EU citizens."

The ruling said the "use of personal data of users (e.g. employees or students) for the provider's own purposes excludes the use of a processor in the public sector (especially in schools)." The watchdog went on to note the legal basis of "entitled interest" under article 6 of the GDPR was therefore not relevant.

When asked for further comment, a Microsoft spokesperson said: "Microsoft 365 products meet the highest industry standards for the protection of privacy and data security. We respectfully disagree with the concerns raised by the Datenschutzkonferenz and have already implemented many suggested changes to our data protection terms. We remain committed to working with the DSK to address any remaining concerns."

Matthias Pfau, founder of the encrypted email service Tutanota, opined of the ruling: "It is unbelievable that American online services continue to trample on the European GDPR more than four years after it was passed... Instead of relying on voluntary cooperation, much harsher consequences must be drawn here; for example, by using completely different systems. Linux with Open Office is a very good alternative to which schools and authorities should switch immediately."

Earlier this month, France's minister of national education and youth echoed these concerns, saying free versions of Microsoft Office 365 and Google Workspace should not be used in schools. ®
