Yeah, it seems that everything has an imperfection, unfortunately. Just gotta choose one. I'd jump on Signal if they remove the phone number, but like you I think it's the shiniest of the bunch. I just want media with captions, uncompressed uploads, the ability to search messages, full e2ee for calls and messages, the ability to conference call, secure message migration/sync to a new client, emoji/rich text and markdown format support, by a company that promises not to access its users' messages, location or other identifying information.

How far they have fallen.. Which would you recommend, sans self-hosting a service? Signal?

Telegram allegedly complied with a government to give them user data, and their e2e encryption was switched to be off by default. I know because when I started the chat with someone we raved about how it says 'end to end encrypted' before sending a message. Well, between then and when I decided to migrate off it, that private one-to-one chat's encryption was switched off.

I say it's okay, but only ensure that e2ee is on

I can't believe anyone would think that clickbait is something people want. There is no purpose to it here - no affiliate monetary gain, no cash for clicks - just a Youtube video. Note that my quarrel is with the video uploader, not OP

Holy shit guys NKBTN went back

Build a multinational resistance of 'extremist terrorists' willing to kill and be arrested, team with Anonymous, and wait for Luigi Mangione to be ready to join us.

Because, as the US and UK governments would have us believe, the term 'terrorist' means someone who threatens not the lives of the innocent, but the possessions of the financially rich, morally corrupt and politically powerful.

I've seen a documentary describing in detail the construction of the shelter, as well as a recent video by B1M talking about the damage caused by the drone, and this one. I believe you're talking about this discussion of the damage by Kyiv Independent?

Ashton fucking Kutcher, huh. Wild timeline.

Github is great but it's owned by Microsoft. If that alone doesn't dissuade you, their integration of their Copilot AI to speed up the creation of vibe-coded projects might. This latest change would.

Luckily there is at least one FOSS alternative, codeberg.org. Its base, Forgejo, is self-hostable, therefore security is in your hands.

I recognise that ReMarkable is top tier rn for eReading, but £350 is uncomfortably high for me. Roughly 50 physical books' worth before buying any books.

Worth it if you have the money to spare.
