Super confusing headline. I understood it as Michigan governor says [she's] not voting for Biden over Gaza war [and she] "supports a second Trump term"

That's not really a problem. The biggest problem Signal has is people not caring about privacy enough to use another messaging app.

If Signal dropped the phone number requirement they'd get a handful more users. If people started to care about privacy they'd get millions of new users.

Both Signal and Threema can now theoretically ask Meta to open access for basic messaging interoperability

Why is it a one-way thing? Would Meta ever be in a position to force Signal to interoperate?

Enshitifcation happens when users, advertisers, and investors are all competing for resources. With Proton, the users are the investors and there are no advertisers. Users are paying customers. It won't get enshitified.

To everyone in here saying they download entire discographies, great! I agree. But the follow up question is how do you even find out about new (to you) artists that you might like? I've cross referenced the library I have (about 27k tracks) with the "similar artists" sections of Spotify, last.fm, etc, and I feel like I'm just going around in circles. All of the similar artists are just similar to each other and I have all of it already. How do you branch out?

Since when does this dude give a shit about whales?

TIL I'm elitist and insufferable

All but 5: grocery story, mall, university, sports stadium, hospital

Then use Proton Mail

Export a real one then modify it

OK, we'll they're not going to have that. They're just not going to implement facial recognition or search images by text or map the photos baed on the geolocation metadata. They're just fundamentally anti privacy features. I doubt they'd even implement photo editing and callages or whatever

Of course! I can check my email on my phone. It's not a huge deal, just a slight inconvenience.

It was fine until a few weeks ago. We moved into a new building and something with the network changed. Concurrently we also have to connect via the VPN a different way than we used to. With all of those changes Proton went from not blocked to blocked.

The network blocks Proton.me at the top level. You think they're going to allow a VPN?

Proton Drive can already automatically back up your phones photos. What else do you want? Albums?

Not directly, I had to click through to a reddit post

Is this in response to Skiff shutting down?

When I work from home, I can just not connect to the VPN and it's fine. When I'm on site there's no way around it
