Yup, makes sense, since Android is also Linux

AFAIK, the main difference is that Firefox’s process isolation on Linux specifically is incomplete. They’re working on fixing that.

Honestly, a very impressive move. Makes me way more confident in the trajectory of the company and I’m happy to have been a visionary user for multiple years.

I wonder, though, just how much of Proton A.G. does the foundation now own? They say it’s the largest shareholder, but they didn’t say “majority shareholder”.

Better than Firefox being blocked in Russia. Addons can be added from files anyway.

Donald?

This. Nowadays people mostly buy TVs when their old ones break. There’s no marginal improvement. The industry is here to stay, but its high growth days are in the past.

You know, the guy on the internet might have also been doing stuff all that time

Probably has something to do with fewer political posts

From my experience of getting other people on Signal, the main issue is that not everyone is already on it. People generally want to use only one app and it attracts them to the most popular one because they don’t need to switch as much.

Secondary issues are:

• No automatic phone transfer (no cloud backups, has to be done manually)
• No large public channels

I might add another one, but it applies to WhatsApp too - it’s crazy that there’s still no easy way to move between iOS and Android…

I suspect a lot of CSAM searches come from underage users themselves

Nice socks lol

Wdym “boring”, what do you want a messenger app to do? It does what it’s there for and it does it well.

Yeah.

Personally, I care about the phone number requirement not because I don’t want to reveal it to Signal servers, but because it limits access to Signal for people in countries that block their SMS service - registration messages just don’t arrive

This is important context. Signal needs to make phone numbers optional…

Not much point in using SSDs in a NAS if it’s there just for holding your files

Use HDDs for linear read/write (files) and SSDs for IOPS (databases)

Cute

Firefox’s been killing it recently

Make phone numbers optional and add a setting to allow/forbid accounts with no phone number to message you. I bet phone numbers have zero effect on the level of spam.
