Signal is fine for almost everyone unless you’re truly doing dangerous work in a truly oppressive state.

I’m so tired of everyone telling others not to use signal because it uses phone numbers. Everyone in here acting like they’re mr. Robot or something.

Anonymity is not the same as privacy. Privacy is good enough for me

Doesnt mean it’s dead. Some projects are in maintenance mode

AndBible updated 2 months ago for me on f-droid

The github doesnt look dead to me

I hope you’re upgrading from debian buster to bullseye!

If buying isnt owning then piracy isnt stealing

Did you know the early early internet researchers were part of a clandestine government organization known as ARPANET??? The entire TCP/IP stack is just a state-sponsored backdoor into your life!!!

WAKE UP SHEEPLE!!!

Didnt osprey recently get bought by a private equity firm?

Are they still honouring their lifetime support?

Any new pictures of them?

Why dont they love each other anymore?? :(

Weather underground is owned by IBM now

Anyone know of a community driven, non-profit weathet platform we can share weather station data with?

Wow, did not know this…

I think i will accelerate my plans for a new NAS lol

QNAP is taiwanese and still providing software patches for my 8 year old NAS. I think they are reasonably trustworthy

But i agree with you, i’m going to build my own NAS from scratch this year…

So the ending to the story which i didnt feel like typing out earlier was that i loaded debian on to the macbook and it runs 2x faster now with regular security updates…

The vast majority of people will never edit a video. The vast majority would be perfectly happy doing 90% of their work in a browser on older hardware instead of chucking it in the bin

Its hilarious that apple is creating a bunch of ewaste for no good reaaon?

My mom’s macbook is 14 years old and perfectly functional. So why doesnt it work (well) anymore?

Apple doesnt provide updated root certificates anymore, so all https sitesare borked.

I hope the message thst came back was “i am V’ger”

Sure. I 100% agree with you… I should not and DO NOT dictate what apps other people use…

But if 50% of the userbase uninstalls signal, you dont think this is going to be detrimental to their organization?

How so?

A bunch of my friends and family only installed signal to talk to me and maybe a few other people.

Now you tell them “you can use whatsapp to chat with these privacy nerds…”

Instant Signal uninstall from my family…

Wouldnt this kill signal? Everyone would just dump signal and use whatsapp to talk to their one weird friend (me} who insists on using signal only

Would be so cool if my kids and nieces/nephews used IRC!!

Still need a phone number to register. Then after that, you can give out your username to others without revealing your phone number

Hmmmm… I already have a nextcloud instance running… This is probably the most frictionless option for me…

I’ll look into NC talk on iphone for her. Thanks!
