The only way it could make sense is if you use the broadcast data against a one-time pad and then you have a key to decrypt some other data, however distributed.

There aren't enough unique messages to be the data payload itself. Regular key rotation makes some sense.

Instead of a key it could be a pointer to another data source too. Frequency, satellite channel, URL, whatever.

It does seem premature to conclude the content. No doubt there are many other possibilities.

A Scout is Trustworthy but this BSA has never demonstrated that virtue.

Their PR is difficult to parse as valid English but it sounds like gaslighting of the type "you can only trust what you may not examine."

It sounds incoherent but perhaps that means they have nothing else left.

Most people in Open Source are generally Helpful.

Most carriers are running their own RCS relays now.

Those that don't fall back to Google but Google has said they're not going to allow freeloading for much longer.

But, AIUI, there's a conspiracy to only allow "approved" clients to uae any of them. Certs I'd guess but haven't looked deeply enough. GrapheneOS lacks an RCS client currently. Phones with full user ownership are also blocked.

Most people I know don't care and use Signal.

They forked SailfishOS to create a domestic OS to avoid these kinds of problems.

Russian linux devs still contribute to that tree though Linus banned their ethnicity from his tree.

Since we're all speculating, probably their phone is clunky and some Generals kept their iPhones against advice or orders because they're more featureful and convenient.

We'll hear eventually.

Exactly, we would have had cataclysmic earthquakes if the summary were correct.

The poles have shifted dramatically in recent decades and the field has weakened substantially leading to bright auroras in Florida and Hawaii at low KP numbers.

Models have the North Pole arriving at the Bay of Bengal sooner than anybody would expect. Christmas will be awkward until we change our vocabulary..

Only someone who listens to Fox News all the time would believe that nonsense. The idea of "woke" is to be aware of what is happening, instead of being asleep and blind to the reality out there. Racism in many places where those with darker skin are deprived of their rights or abused, violating their constitutional rights as citizens for example. Only someone delusional would think that racism isn't still a problem in many places. That's what "woke" is about, not ignoring that there are injustices that are happening.

If you are upset about LGBT+, well, do you feel that men should be able to have their own preference in women who are blondes, brunettes, redheads, shorter, taller, different body types? How about women having the right to prefer men with a different build, skin tone, etc, are you against THAT? So, people should also have their own preference when it comes to sexuality, like it or not, it's the same exact thing, personal preference in who they are attracted to. Or, do you feel that everyone should have the exact same preferences?
