Not doubting that pushy idiots are going to pushy idiot, but I think you've strawmanned the actual reason hard enough.

Most people who want it back don't need, want, or understand why secure messaging exists.

Here's the simple facts:

SMS is not secure, or private.
Signal is for secure, private comms.

As mildly inconvenient as it is, Signal explained their reasoning in great detail, and I happen to agree: There should never have been an insecure option on a secure messaging app.

And it feels so good! I hated how breaking in to the mobi files wrecked the formatting.

Sys admins are already worked to death, so anything that can be done to simplify makes perfect sense.

Appreciate the correction! I haven't dealt with Amazon for e-books since I got my first Kobo reader 5-6 years ago, so I'm out of the loop.

Yep. I live in one of the "post salary or GTFO" states, and lead with that. Anyone who can't respond with a straight answer isn't worth dealing with and is told why.

I go through them every couple of days and have a text file with canned responses.

  • Thanks for reaching out. Before we proceed further, will you please provide a full job description, salary range, name of your client, and length of the contract?
  • Sorry - (DETAIL) falls outside/below my current expectations. Have a good day, and good luck!

Especially on mobile. News sites are legit impossible to use, let alone tolerate.

Which is why it boggles my mind that every company I have worked for uses it as the stock alternative to Edge over Firefox.

Likewise. It has generated several offers for me, but the vast majority of head hunters are playing spray-n-pray with keywords. For every good lead I get, I have to tell 400 people to fuck off.

Oh.. you're a SOX analyst? Want to work in a sock factory? Want to do the laundry for a minor league baseball team? Want to be in a fetish video?

I vaguely recall that they received a takedown notice.
