With new possibilities due to new tech user demands rise, too. People asked for features like group or video chats or coupled devices (not trivial with E2EE) and since good companies listen, they developed those and still do.

Also, I don't think there's a single IRC client still in use that hasn't been updated since the 80s. I wouldn't be surprised if your favorite client got an update in the last couple of months - and that despite it being a trivial protocol.

Why does that matter? You can't reason with illogical people. You have to reach them on an emotional level; if you care, that is.

Why isn't it on F-droid if it's FOSS?

That got me interested and apparently, they fear forks running out of date.

Concerning F-Droid, we already providing an auto-updating APK directly from our site, and we really don't want forked versions of the app maintained by other parties connecting to our servers. Not only could the users using the forked version have a subpar experience, but the people they're talking to (using official clients) could also have a subpar experience (for example, an official client could try to send a new kind of message that the fork, having fallen out of date, doesn't support). I know you say you'd advocate for a build expiry, but you know how things go. Of course you have our full support if you'd like to fork Signal, name it something else, and use your own servers.

While that statement got plenty of thumbs down, I hate to admit that F-Droid is indeed out of date quite often. I currently can't find a source for this but I once read this has something to do with their signing process.

At that time my bank allowed up to 6 digits as a password. I kid you not, like a card PIN but for online banking login. I believe the whole banking security relies on their backoffices still running on paper.

Everyone hates hearing their own voice because it sounds different. Everyone whose work involves them being recorded says you'll get used to it.

Every single experience you mentioned I cannot relate to at all. It's really weird to read.

Did you start with Fallout 1 or 3?

Well, hardly any consumer actively buys Windows since it comes pre-installed on most PCs.

More like feral Garfield.

I swear it's always Adblock Plus in memes about ad-blocking. Who makes these memes?

But seriously: it was a perfect ending. Now he's Superman, kicks everyone's ass, frees mankind. The sequels were not only shit but completely unnecessary.

How dare you!

Wait... You're not supposed to do that?

Depends where you look. I'm at Walmart, so...

Wouldn't you?

Every country has their 10% crazies. You don't need their votes to govern. Please focus on the 90% with good policy instead of normalizing idiot conspiracy theories.

If you're afraid of triple letter agencies you probably shouldn't engage in social media at all.

The privacy concerns are about coercion from the user base. The bar to spin up a private instance to get to the voting data is far too high for 99% of the users.

If it's effort, virtually nobody does it. Convenience is king since the beginning of the internet.
