💡 Why is software created using taxpayers’ money not released as #FreeSoftware?
If it is public money, it should be public code as well.

It prevents people relying on "user_external" from upgrading their installations to 28 and beyond.

Introducing usernames and phone number privacy on Signal!
We’re making it possible for people to connect with each other without having to share phone numbers. Now launching to beta users, available for everyone soon.

2. You can create an optional username to connect without sharing your phone number
3. You can enable a new, optional privacy setting to require people to connect with you via username instead of phone number
Dang, I feel like boosting the whole thread 😂
This is a great addition, I really love Signal and the direction it's going in! All the work is greatly appreciated! ❤️
Finally users can establish a contact by scanning QR codes.
Previously it involved retyping a phone number or creating a group and scanning a group QR code as a workaround.
1. You require my phone number. You do not need my personal identifying information. As long as you require information about me that you do not need, I will not trust that you are as secure as you claim to be.
2. You do not use a federated system. If I could set up my own signal server and communicate with friends on your server, I would be more willing to trust the end to end encryption.
does it work on linux yet without creating a million sandboxes for itself and eventually running the system out of memory?
it's done this on everyplatform ive thrown it on.
one other thing: do i still need a phone # to sign up? i dont use a smartphone anymore.
thanky much :)
How will you ensure people don’t have a false sense of privacy, if an old Signal version will still show the phone number?
“Note that even once these features reach everyone, both you and the people you are chatting with on Signal will need to be using the most updated version of the app to take advantage of them.”
thanks 😍
This is really awesome 👏
This reminds me to push the donate button 😅☝️
will there also be a solution to use Signal while having no mobile phone at all?
Like its completely normal on Jabber/XMPP and Matrix?
it seems you have not publicly documented how the usernames feature works in terms of the back-end.
If the Feds subpoena Signal with a username, what data will they get from you? Will they get the user’s phone number? In reverse, if the Feds subpoena a phone number, will they get the associated username? What about one’s history of numbers/usernames?
congratulations! 🎉
It was a long time coming, but we are all very glad it's finally here.
Wait, does this mean you finally don't announce to absolutely everyone who has my number that I just installed Signal?
Because for a privacy focused app, that always seemed like a gross violation of basic privacy.
I look forward to trying it in about 3 or 4 months.
The following text is hidden in a pop-up link:
"Each version of the Signal app expires after about 90 days, after which people on the older version will need to update to the latest version of Signal. This means that in about 90 days, your phone number privacy settings will be honored by everyone using an official Signal app. "
But how is Nobody = Somebody who has your number in their contact list?
I've used Signal continuously with several contacts since about 2021 (?). I like the fact that we've progressed.
2022: Can I just get a Signal account without providing my phone number?
Redditors on /r/signal: You are wrong and bad for wanting that, also stupid.
2024: Hey, this cool thing!
Redditors: Of course it's cool! It's obvious!
and yes, it is. Glad Signal got it worked out. It's a great benefit, IMO, and I'm proud of the team for getting it done.
Will there be a short weblink with my username like

Thanks in advance

SUV oder Lastenrad? Populisten flüchten argumentativ oft in ein falsches Dilemma: Sie präsentieren nur Extreme, aber keine Möglichkeiten dazwischen.

Noch ein Erklärvideo zur Manipulationstechnik „Falsches Dilemma“):
(Video von #UseTheNews, mehr hier https://learn.hoou.de/mod/page/view.php?id=3450)
Nur bleibt das vollkommen sinnlos, so lange Sie gleichzeitig sogenannte "Talkshows" einkaufen, in denen Faschist:innen zur besten Sendezeit ihr rassistisches, misogynes, menschenverachtendes und verfassungsfeindliches Programm rechtfertigen und bewerben dürfen.
(Entweder) SUV oder Lastenrad?
Wer sich einen SUV leisten kann, hat auch noch Geld für ein Lastenrad übrig.

Als Antwort auf Free Software Foundation Europe • • •Firstly, it is not 'taxpayer' money but taxextorted money.
Secondly, it is not then public money but state money.
The same state that conjured up the perfidy of 'Intellectual Property' that Free Software combats.
Do not waste time on the state - create & use FLOSS instead!
