Signal is the best intersection of genuine security and ease-of-use that I've ever seen. No choosing a server, no making an account. Just install the app, get a confirmation SMS, and now you can communicate with future-proof encryption and authentication right away.

For more technical people, who aren't going to be intimidated by things like making accounts and secure passwords and choosing servers, Signal is not the best. But when I need to communicate securely with non-technical people, it's a wonderful quick go-to solution.

SNW is pure, good Star Trek. Don't miss it.

I'd also rate Lower Decks and Prodigy pretty well - both have rough starts but hit a good stride in their first seasons.

Not a single acknowledgement of the environmental or cognitive costs of LLM use. Disgusting.

"everyone knows they're being watched anyway"

With Google searches, this is just a statement of fact.

Signal is important to some of my contacts and its E2E encryption is excellent. The only thing the phone number gives away to the outside is "has this person used Signal in the past?". Since it is not illegal to use Signal in my country, I'm not worried.

Signal stores the hash of the phone number. So you can query them for a specific phone number, but are unable to figure out phone numbers based on the hashes (outside of brute force - trying every 12-digit phone number).

And after doing that, you learn "this person uses/used Signal", with no information about particular messages whatsoever.

What this analysis forgets is one simple fact:

Han shoots first.

(He still loses most matches but I think NX-01 would not win)

No mod capability, or at least not that I'm aware of. But it does run on Android! https://f-droid.org/packages/me.thanel.dank/

Thunderbird has a home on every computer that I use, mainly because it still supports plain-text mail - without resistance (unlike Outlook and web clients) - and because it natively supports GPG encryption and signing.

Let's hope the UI redesign doesn't interfere with these advantages, and helps draw in new users!

Thank you!

I use Dawn. It still works!

One of my favorite games of all time, despite being relatively recent. The exploration and movement are just so much fun!

Can you use Signal on a Linux phone? I know there's a desktop Linux client, but it relies on being activated from an Android or iPhone app to function, in my experience.

Can you recommend a starting adventure for ST Adventures, o great @USSBurritoTruck@startrek.website (or anyone else)? I want to try it on my group and would prefer something pre-made at first.

I still haven't signed up for ProtonMail. Doesn't sound like a good idea with this going on!
