Plot twist

though you can set it not to be displayed to anyone,

Is it something new? I don’t remember it being a thing.

What do you mean by passport?

In certain countries(Russia) you need passport to buy SIM card. So phone number is tied to person.

What evidence would they have to arrest people on?

Message in big group chat and phone number. Message can for example say that war is bad, and as result you will be charhed with “discreditation of army”.

Especially now that people don’t have to share phone numbers to add a contact

Phone number that tied to your passport. Yep, not sharing phone number to add a contact will magically help here.

Did Signal roll their own encryption?

Yes. Even entire new algoritgm - Double Ratchet.

People just think that providing their phone numbers makes them less private when privacy does not mean anonymity.

Yeah, people just think that providing their phone numbers makes local police able to easily find them and insert soldering iron into their rectum when privacy does not mean that that police will not easily find you for what you said on the internets. Wait, what?

which rolled their own encryption (a thing that should bever be done)

Signal is bad then?

It is not at all a private messenger and lacks any type of good moderation.

So in which direction you want it go? More private or more moderated?

You realize it is just chat except it doesn’t show your phone number to every doxxer or FSB agent?

Engieneer gaming

I sometimes play Xonotic

True.

AIs are fancy matrix multiplications

It dies every year since 2010.

Luddites aren’t against technological progress, they are against social regress.

I remember look-up table being called AI…

This is why it is important to use opensource drivers.

I suggest to play Xonotic on Steam Deck

Even defederated instances can get UGC
