I remember a time when visiting a website that opens a javacript dialog box asking for your name so the message “hi <name entered>” could be displayed was baulked at.

Why does signal want a phone number to register? Is there a better alternative?

    What are you doing to help others escape WhatsApp, anti-libre software?

        Obviously Signal is the lesser evil, but don’t use Signal if you are planning a revolt is what I’m saying.

        or if you’re the US’ secretary of defense and you’re going to bomb Houthis

        🤷

          🤣 Absolute shitshow lmfao. Signal is not approved for war communications, that was a security breach (not to mention, adding the journalist), and he risked jepardizing his entire mission.

          But on the other hand, having such incompetent fascists is a good thing for the resistance.
