Signal claims to be a private, not anynomous, chat application.

Theirt defaults are set so they can get mass market addoption, whilst beeing a big step up in privacy compared to the usual players in the space (like whatsapp and telegram). You simply won't be able to get the average user on apps that make use more complicated and apps like simplex doe exactly that.

If you want Signal to be more secure, you can circumvent this attack vector by disableing auto downloads for media.

I'm not saying Signal is perfect, there has been a bunch to critisize over the years.

But why argue about use cases they never claimed to solve?

That doesn't sound future proof.

People leave projects/companies, people forget.

Code comments are also far from good. They have the same issue as duplicatet code. Comment and code age indiviually. Now you have to maintain both and it's for them to diverge.

Git commits are a snapshot of the codebase. Commit messages in them are pinned to a code version. Comments in commit messages are therefore always tied to the right version of code.

People leaving is a great reason to write literate tests and other kinds of docs - the kind people actually look for and want to read.

If somebody asks a question that can only be asked by looking in a commit message that usually represents a failure in one of those docs.

That actually exists already!

The brand name of the material is D3o, it's used in products like the Fox Baseframe.

From personal experience this helps quite a bit, but i never had a crash where my spine took a hit.

Issue is, many people don't wear torso protection, just like a lot of people ride motorbikes in a T-Shirt/

Honesty isn't punished here, a missinformed opinion is. "AI" can not do all jobs human do and it's unclear if and when it will.

If it's that important for you, contact the dev and pay them the 99$.

What else is? Certainly neither glass nor metal, since they dull knives way to fast.

The lignin in wood is also extremely effective at dulling knives.

The cutting bits of woodworking tools pass through more wood in a minute than a knife does over its entire lifetime.

> nothing more than plastics in general

Maybe I'm having some kind of brain fart or mixed something up, but I thought "absolutely nothing" was a direct quote from them and no mention of plastics in general.

Is there a way to see if/how comment was edited?

I'll try to quote things more directly from now on...

I guess they mean proper as in significant marketshare.

I meant this proper as in significant marketshare.

There is a middleground. Of course, change for the sake of change sucks, you just have to relearn for no benefit.

But change for the sake of implementing m New features and having a well thought out redesign after collecting issues over a decade or so makes software more accessible and allows you to streamline workflows where new features just got tacked on over time.

I haven't gotten a single bill over SMS, is this an US thing?

They don't send a bill over sms, but a transaction acknowledgement indicating total amount over sms.
