I tried the app but it doesn’t even have a way to register an account.
That sounds like you tried Element X app, which is beta (it says so everywhere). One should still be using the Element app for now.

Here's a study of work hours from medieval times until now, by my favourite YouTube channel, Historian Civilis: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hvk_XylEmLo
He didn't want Signal on FDroid because surprise surprise he just wanted to roll their own crypto coin with insiders knowledge. You can't do that with open source so easily. There's a reason they didn't publish code for years. That people still support those crooks, who have lost all credibility, for a privacy app, baffles me.
Thank god we have Matrix now.
Conservatism is dead. If we do nothing, climate change will profoundly alter the way of living. If we act, we prevent climate change, but we will profoundly alter the way of life. In both cases, there's no place for conservatism. It's just closing the eyes and covering the ears like a child.
my private desktop Linux installs still occasionally bork themselves for no good reason and require a reinstall
Edit: oh, you aren't even OP. But I see I triggered you. And you have repeated the same you are saying in the parallel comment? Are you here reading all comments to this specific comment?
how to tell you are using Arch without saying it. Don't use a rolling release on your own if you aren't willing to pay the maintenance cost. edit: no, I'm not an ubuntu user.
You dont seem to know what you are talking about, or are dissingenous.
Copyright is the tool that allows to enforce GPL. The same with other free and open source licenses.
You seem to be leaning towards "permissive" libertarian licenses like MIT and BSD. Those don't care much about the end users (I got your code, now fuck off I can do whatever I want with the modifications, including never sharing them back and making the whole thing closed source).
But for GPL and licenses that protect the rights of developers (including the right to ask follow-up developers to keep the code open for the benefit of users and developers), copyright laws are the tool that enforces that.
The term "copyleft" is just a meme.
Because it is copyright laundering, which is ilegal. We are just too early in the tech to have it established. But see cases open against Microsoft's Copilot.
I recommend one of the FOSS apps in fdroid for this, don't use a proprietary one from Google Play (like the Google Authenticator).
Sadly, the first board game I played was Monopoly at ~10, and that drove me away. Then I rediscovered them in uni with Settlers of Catan and Risk.
They drafted this law via lobbying. They didn't lose, but we didn't win. And now the topic will get forgotten as we already have a law.
