That’s the main reason Signal uses phone numbers for verification.
That way you can see which of your contact can be reached on their platform.
I slowly diverted from WhatsApp to Signal in that way. I also have it in my WhatsApp bio: ‘‘You can reach me on Signal. Come on over, it’ll be fun’’

Yeah fuck them.
Nearly all digital media is locked so in order to back up something you own you’ll have to break the lock. Fuck. Them. (And the people who voted for these laws)

Yeah, and I don’t get why. I don’t pay for it. Got it once and cancelled it but somehow the account is still active.

Exact. I started working out to lose weight and turned from slightly over weight to obese. I lost a decent amount of fat but gained a lot of weight building up muscle mass. 12 kg in about a year. BMI sucks.

- Comment on New Terms for Firefox from Mozilla 3 months ago:
There is the part where you interact with Forefox. Without your data, it just won’t work. They need your timezone, your screen size,… I mean, that’s for every browser around, even the most hardened system. This data can be used for fingerprinting so you should be aware and you should agree upon that usage or quit the internet.
i.e. using a browser is sending data towards that browser.
