Those people have no idea about Signal either.

It is not harder than email, which everyone uses.

What about Matrix is harder than email?

It is basically WhatsApp 2, with a source-available client. The client isn’t free unless forked and used with some other server, because Signal can ban you solely for using a fork. Not being federated may have minor security benefits, but there is no excuse for not having the client accept connecting to multiple servers; they just want to lock you in. Normal people should use Matrix, or XMPP. I am much more concerned about Signal paywalling things and locking me in and so on than about someone knowing at what time I send messages to someone.

Signal is not trustworthy, because they ban unofficial clients.

Looks quite good. I am not a fan of M3E in general, but the app is well-made.

Every time, and every update.

WA bans your account for using it.

Also, no autoupdates!

Enable beta.

And I would NOT be opposed to banning the glasses. I would be opposed to forcing nonfree AI on the users, because that would make them lose control.

They are already mostly banned, but software is not the right way to enforce that.

How would you implement it? On a glass that the user controls (root), it would be impossible. Of course, I do not like bathroom recordings, but there’s no sane way to block them.

It is encrypted.

Most people do not think of them as ‘windows power users’.

Torvalds is not vibe coding, and he doesn’t control the OS (GNU/Linux) anyways.

You could probably use a local password file like Keepass.

Thankfully it looks so unserious that it will not capture anyone except ‘windows/mac power users’.

It preinstalls their app.

They have repos now, but nothing in them is too advanced, and they absolutely do not deserve the money. GNU/Linux Mint offers THREE great desktop experiences, which are not kitsch slop (even if you don’t like them, they’re very high-quality) and have a much smaller budget.
