How does Automattic make money? Do they get paid to look the other way when people’s Wordpress blogs get spammed by SEO links?

"For example, if you send a message from Beeper to a friend on WhatsApp, the message is encrypted on your Beeper client, sent to the bridge, which decrypts and re-encrypts the message with WhatsApp's proprietary encryption protocol."

"Using native end-to-end encrypted chat apps independently may be more secure than connecting to them to Beeper"

I wonder if the plan is to merge Beeper and Texts.com. They both look verify similar in their features. Maybe texts.com for the Apple Ecosystem and Beeper for the Android one ? After all, Beeper just released their new version of the app for Android.
Beeper is cross platform. They have an app for iOS and Mac.

He was an early user, supporter and investor in Beeper It certainly sounds like… Beeper was in the bin after the beeper mini fiasco, and resulting massive brand damage (brand aweness is only good if it means people actually want to use your product, not active distrust it), so the friend and earl…
A "CEO friend" isn't going to give you $125m out of the goodness of their heart so some random shareholders can save face.
Worst case, the business fails, everyone happily moves on.
How do you think automattic is funding this transaction? There are underwriters. And underwriters need rigorous dd to justify $1,000 let alone $125m.
Even if it's an all-stock deal, a transaction like this would need board approval, and a good board needs ... rigorous dd.

What do you mean "no longer"? Beeper has always behaved like this.

Does anyone know how the texts.com iMessage integration works? EDIT - It’s macOS only. Nothing new to see here, I’m afraid.
