New: #DeAppleification project 🍏
Good hardware, if overpriced ✔️
Bad software & services, deliberately lacking #interoperability ❌
Today, I shut off Apple's closed #iMessage service entirely. Now using #Beeper as a universal inbox, with #Signal, #WhatsApp & #Slack DMs ✅
Goal: shutting off all 🍏 services will make it much easier to switch to cheaper hardware in future. Which is why Apple’s entire business model depends on tying their hardware to their software & services

AI in WhatsApp
Lekker, onze betrouwbare vriend Suckerberg gaat z'n AI loslaten op WhatsApp om te analyseren hoe Nederlanders in het algemeen en jij in het bijzonder, nou precies communiceren. Kan-ie straks aan de schrijfstijl zien of een tekst van jou is of niet, een alom aanwezige grafoloog. Super handig, wat zou daar nou mis kunnen gaan? 👍️

#Meta announces at its #DMA #compliance workshop it is working closely with another company which wants to launch the first interoperable messaging service with #WhatsApp 🥳
Less positively, Meta is rejecting #interoperability requests from non-messaging services, and business-focused services 🤨

Baaaam! With #Beeper, "you can have multiple #Signal accounts and multiple #WhatsApp accounts, all in one device... We figured out how to make this all run locally on your device, and so it’s just as secure as using one of these native apps" https://www.theverge.com/decoder-podcast-with-nilay-patel/693052/automattic-ceo-matt-mullenweg-wordpress-drama-wp-engine-open-source

Well: #Signal could also choose to interoperate with #WhatsApp, at least in the European Economic Area, thanks to #DMA Art. 7 😉 /cc @meredithmeredith.bsky.social
