Sure, encrypt notifications and just show our users garbled text they have to type it into a their computer to read.

Real solution there Apple.

No problem. Just store the private key in your eyes.

I expect you’re kidding, because it’s hard to believe someone made it onto Lemmy without knowing this, but here goes anyway:

They never said “don’t decrypt client side”.

Lots of things you probably use every day is end-to-end encryption.

HTTPS in your browser uses TLS to ensure that the content you receive is encrypted on its way to you and that it hasn’t been tampered with on the way (confidentiality and integrity).

I know, but the article is written in a way that makes it look like they mean push notifications as they appear on your screen.

For those who read the article the comment parodies it, everyone else can make fun of apple or me.
