Having to make an informed decision is a barrier to entry. it took me a while because I wanted to make sure I didn't join (and waste time/effort) something I didn't align with.
Thoroughly dismantling America. Sad day for Americans, exactly what Putin ordered.
You do realise they’re trying to become the crypto WeChat?
Any evidence to support this claim?
Because I'm aware Signal introduced a beta crypto wallet 7 years ago, which was originally only available in select countries, and has had minimal resources allocated to its continued development since. They make zero mention of crypto/payment on their website, and best of all, the crypto wallet isn't even enabled by default.
Shit app with horrible management.
And here you expose your personal emotional trauma by lashing at at the most inconsequential "nothing": the development of a privacy preserving crypto wallet, "feature complete" half a decade ago, and disabled by default in a privacy preserving messenger.
Signal is the best free, open source, E2EE messenger that doesn't leak metadata and has decent UX. Best of all, its completely free to use. Simplex is a good contender, but the UX is still lacking.
Its in a very alpha state, but check out Zen browser. Based on Firefox, incredibly fast and customizable. Their github page: https://github.com/zen-browser/desktop
Not the same scale but Signal has a rather new approach for a messaging client. Completely free and funded by user donations - at least that's the direction they're trying to head as their initial seed funding starts running low. I've doubled my donations for Signal because I'd like to help prove that its a working model and I encourage everyone who uses it to donate, even if it's just once. I'd love to see Firefox head in that direction where funding goes directly to the browser's development. If I donate to Firefox today it might go to one of their dozen or so other pet projects that are unrelated to the browser. I think their side projects are great and glad they were able to do them while they had the cash, but funding is clearly drying up and they need a whole restructure to keep the browser alive.
100% agree.
If its not open source 1) you can't fully trust/audit. and 2) you'll be left in the dust should the company cease to exist as nobody can continue development.
If Firefox is not private enough use Librewolf. If you're interested in something new and exciting give Zen Browser or Floorp (both based on Firefox) a spin.
Not offending anyone, just unintentionally misrepresenting reality.
oh okay it works for you, I guess the developer claiming it will not work as well on Chrome as on Firefox was complete BS 🤡
if it was pure theater my friends and family who pay for all their streaming services would be able to share the content without permission from Netflix, Hulu, etc. That this is not the case disproves your claim that it's pure theater. It does exactly what it aims to do and that's raising the barrier to entry for piracy.
It doesn’t meaningfully impact the rate of cheating at all
So EA and every other anti-cheat software is paying developers to make software that does nothing? I don't follow.
yeah, someone dumb it down for us plebs
Soooo.... I've never had this issue on any other phone before. Is it normal to get condensation inside the camera lense (wide angle and telephoto)?
it's dried out now, but I can see spots on the inside of the lense now that the water is gone, I can only imagine this getting worse over time, affecting quality. is this worth an RMA?

Got this today on Signal beta. Editing is one feature I really wanted in Signal.
Anyone else got it?
Correct, but you are still presented with a decision that adds friction to the onboarding experience. I was aware of how Mastodon works and that I could migrate and it took me a while to create an account because I didn't want to "waste my time". I can't imagine a regular user being prompted to "select an instance", decide to go with the first one they see, and registration is either closed or invite only. That's a huge barrier to entry compared to being forced into a single login that is always open.
100000% agree with you. I would never create a bluesky account because of that. Unfortunately people aren't as informed and most really just don't care.
