Honestly, as much as I would like that as the next guy.. I doubt they would've gotten anywhere close to engagement in the range of 400 comments sadly.
When it comes to reach this is still not the place to be. Now, how meaningful the comments are? That's a different question.
I mean if they'd use the backdoor no one would know. It's not like they would declare ah ye we used our secret Signal backdoor.
That's not how it works. All metadata is also E2EE with the same protocol. Even if they control all servers it wouldn't change much.
Organic Maps is by far the best client imho and it has a special outdoor layer when on trails.
I think we can be pretty damn sure that the encryption is not backdoored since the Signal Protocol is the gold standard in encryption nowadays and thousands if not more highly skilled cryptographers without tied to the US govt looked at it thoroughly. Also Snowden calls Signal the best messenger on the grounds on him using it daily and still being alive so that's also a pretty good sign.
Also, do you have a source about them being mainly funded by the US govt? In their blog they talked about mainly being funded by small donors and a few initial loans from people who care about privacy.
I mean they did also inject affiliate links without the users noticing which is really shady behaviour from a browser because it has one job, open the link I click and nothing else. But that's just IMHO if that is acceptable for you personally then there is no issue with that.
Just leaving this here for everyone! This browser extension saved me a lot of hassle so many times. We need to stop paying where possible and this is the convenient legal way for a lot of papers out there: https://unpaywall.org/
Definitely, she has served me like the absolute beast she is. To this day the card actually deserves very admirable even in modern titles. The next destination might actually be my roommates PC who'se still running a 960 which is pretty lackluster these days with 2 GB of VRAM.
Absolutely it's been mostly rock solid. I do however plan on switching to Wayland. Since that will now be doable with AMD graphics it might still be a pain with Gnome 42 so depending on my impatience I might not wait till Pop!_OS 24.04.
Pop!_OS atm but hopping in the future is not out of question since this was my first and only distro on this device for a few years now. I just was too lazy so far to try out new things.
Thanks, I think I've read something about LACT once but it wasn't relevant back then. Certainly looks like the tool to use to tune my card :)
I mean they also own like half the industry. So, I don't feel particularly bad for them to be honest.
