Haha, Ulrich I noticed you on several threads the past few days correcting misinformation, thank you for your service.

In my book a single data point (a phone number) is not "vast amounts of metadata". Again, I have never seen someone describing Signal as a “paragon of privacy and security”, Signal itself certainly does not say that (It's presented as an improvement over SMS).
Signal is an excellent alternative if you're looking for an E2E encrypted SMS replacement your grandmother can use.
Where did you read that they are collecting vast amounts of metadata? Not challenging your claim just that I have been trying to find more info and came up empty. Signal says "we don’t collect analytics or telemetry data" but that's about it.
I'd be curious to hear your criticisms of Signal! While I haven't seen anyone describing it as a "paragon of privacy and security" I do think it is a highly accessible SMS replacement that is also open source, end-to-end encrypted, and operated by a nonprofit.
From an e-waste perspective not having a battery is really cool. The article doesn't mention this, but the plastic appears recycled too. I wonder how it types?
The horniess of the early 2000s makes Gene's vision of the Original Series seem downright conservative.
The only episode I ever actually skip. Although the "A" plot isn't terrible!
Meanwhile I'm over here still hoping for a Captain Proton spinoff to be announced...
I'm surprised nobody has yet jail-broken Samsung and LG TVs and made a custom Tizen ROM
