Thanks to Riya for making the info graphics.
I'm considering muting the words Signal and Telegram. It just makes me sad to see all the people go from one centralized non-free place to another centralized non-free place, while they're thinking it's a good thing.
Trying to explain and educate them about ethical options, feels as fruitless as emptying the ocean with a spoon.
just like WhatsApp, it (Signal) requires users to disclose personally identifiable information: Providing a phone number is mandatory. As a US-based IT service provider, Signal is also subject to the CLOUD Act, which entitles US authorities to access the service provider’s data.

Telegram is still not e2e by default, right? always found it strange that otherwise tech-savy friends continue to prefer Telegram. Sorry folks but on…

You can still "stay in your lane" when it comes to politics. It is fair to have strong opinions about one issue while having no opinion on another.
It is unfair to expect someone to take a stance on an issue that they are ignorant about.

Starting a DSL from scratch rather than embedding it in a real programming language is folly. You should use languages that make embedded DSLs easy!

I accidentally wrote a short novel after starting a bug report: "How to open a file in Emacs"
Emacs user, grumpy and tired most of the time.
