@nprofile1q... Is this a bug or intended behaviour? It seems to be impossible to restore a backup from another device if you accidentally close the backup screen before entering the original recovery code.

Once that happens it becomes impossible to enter an existing recovery code, and you can then only create a new one, which results in the error that the backup cannot be decrypted because "the recovery code is most likely not the one that was used to make the backup".

@nprofile1q... Some katakana look somewhat like their hiragana counterparts, but more rectangular, similar to cursive vs block letters in the western alphabet. That helps reduce some of the effort.

We don’t look the same, think the same, or speak the same language, and yet, here we are, standing together in one team. That's the magic of being European: our differences make us unique, and our...

@nprofile1q... What values are those, exactly?

@nprofile1q... Apologies, I didn't mean to put words in your mouth.

@nprofile1q... I'd love to see you elaborate on how you think mass surveillance is compatible with a free society.

@nprofile1q... There are no absolutes. Neither in privacy nor in justice.

Encryption is not incompatible with laws or justice. Weakening encryption, or enabling more surveillance of a vast majority of innocent people by mandatory device attestation *is* incompatible with a free society.

You live in a place with a government that is above average when it comes to trustworthiness, but please don't assume that this is the case everywhere.

@nprofile1q... This is the first time I find myself rooting for you to be wrong. The future seems to suck. I don't like it.

I disagree on a visceral level that strong privacy guarantees is "crime-enabling". At the very least it's a double edged sword, but I'll refrain from getting on that soapbox for fear of being labeled a "privacy advocacy tech bro". It's only the final two words that I take offence to, obviously.

@nprofile1q... I don't think it's controversial as such. But the typical small, old, terraced house was not designed with A/C in mind. There is often nowhere to put the outdoor unit without annoying the neighbours with noise. There's typically not much headroom on the UK power grid during peak A/C times. And in most parts, until recently, there were only a few hot days a year which meant A/C didn't make much sense.

@nprofile1q... Calling it a "child abuse law" is such a bullshit take. It's a mass surveillance law.
