Interesting, so this must mean that Figma must be using CRDTs wrong then, but it works for them anyway since they aren't using "true CRDTs".
comment
So does this mean Figma is decentralized since they are also using CRDTs?
comment
Interesting that there isn't any mention or use of CRDTs, that would have been the first thing to see from this document. Nevertheless, it is still refreshing to see a different way of doing thin…

are release notes supposed to be exciting?

where does it say that dashlane has access to your passwords, I don't see them saying this anywhere?

Although a welcome addition to Signal, personally would like to see the 'phone number sign up' 'disappear' from the app and instead add email signup. Thats all.

Imagine grinding for a year on leetcode to go to FAANG and this salary cut happens, or promised a salary rise after 2 years but instead gets cut. Feels like a complete scam.

> The guy was likely a pedo though and that was pretty funny… I don’t think calling someone that without evidence is funny at all, if not this is an extremely libellous accusation. Grow up.

FAANG only. Technically LinkedIn is part of them since Microsoft acquired them, But if that's not what you want, aim higher than Twitter and Linkedin.

> Is wordpress still the go to fool-proof CMS? Yes. Wordpress is more customisable and extendable than the rest. Squarespace, Webflow and Craft are either proprietary, have huge hype by newcomers (…
comment
Completely irrelevant. Nobody mentioned anything about 'guarantees', this is a matter of urgency and priorities. I don't care if this was a 'rare' issue, Signal knew this wa…

Calm down, I only said at worst for Quill, it seems like now I have to question your reading skills. > If all you have on Signal is opt-in feature for payment, and an issue of usernames that'…
comment
Matrix / Element is unfortunately just far too technical for end users and the general population, but it is better than IRC. A mistake was the naming, for example you refer to the name of the pr…

How can you be so sure if you haven't tried it? I'd rather use a chat app that takes security matters seriously and urgently and will eventually have E2E. What's more 'idiotic'…

Where is the original issue for this, if that is the case? Otherwise I see signal developers closing duplicates [0], towards the main issue [1] which leads me to believe it was open for months. Even i…

> just pointing out that "there are audits, why does it have such bugs" doesn't tell the entire story. So? Isn't that the point though? Having regular audits should have caug…
comment
Which is why I said at worst . Please read. Could you recommend a better chat app that is user friendly enough for regular people to use that is not Signal or WhatsApp and is cross platform? Quill ar…
comment
Which this bug was left open for months while users were experiencing this privacy issue. How can I recommend a chat app that does this and claim they are a privacy based app? and also does not respon…
comment
And yet there are serious bugs like this that slip through the net, a simple benchmark of any chat app should not be showing other people's messages like what Signal is doing. I would expect that…
comment
Signal is becoming a joke that we should reconsider using, and now has dangerous bugs that is at the edge of compromising people's privacy. Has this app/service really been audited properly?…

Difference is, I play both sides, while retail only knows "buy buy buy" when the prices were rising.

Why did Twitter kill Vine? This is why pretty much why TikTok exists and filled that space very quickly.
