They do that for easier discovery of existing contacts. Say someone switches from WA to Signal and they want to contact someone. How'd they know their username? Their contact list would be empty and they would uninstall it. Signal would only be for nerds.
I don't see that as a problem. They basically only save the phone number, creation date and date of the last connection to the server.
Signal was only able to provide two sets of data: the timestamp of when the account was created and the date of the last connection to the Signal server, as Signal does not store any other information about its users. source
I find it odd that so many people using them, are running graphene.
Why's that? Is something bugging you? I might want to use it once they support Android Auto.
What proprietary features are you missing in GrapheneOS?
I'm searching for boots similar to these but vegan for obvious reasons. I love boots but haven't had them for years because I couldn't find any cool-looking.
Imagine you would need to pay for your right to protest or free speech as an example. This is brutal.
I don't think it's odd. They can use data, that they already have and make us of it.
Answering a question with a question 😂
Skiff uses discord, so.. idk what I think of that, they also lack support for pgp and are in the us afaik
They are already working on usernames but didn't provide a date
And good operating system support
I as a vegaterian who rarely eats non-vegan stuff never try to convert others. I only correct them if they say wrong stuff but also try not to influence them. I think that every human who just watched one animals feel pain in any way should have gotten that being vegan is a no-brainer.
It's intesting to me to put this that way. Usually I think of things from my own perspective, not from others. I couldn't be with someone who isn't vegetarian.
