There are a lot of things we can do, but that requires the EU, the US and China's neighbors to work together. It requires US to have a vision for countering China's growing sphere of influence. Unfortunately, the US is content to

Primarily tabs losing their position, not maintaining their hierarchy, weird behaviour around moving tabs around, crashing and freezing. Also all-around bad performance. Maybe it's improved since I last used it a year ago, but it was s

The issue isn't just military equipment though. When your entire economy is reliant on electronic chips, it's untenable for all of those chips to come from a geopolitical opponent. That gives them a lot of influence over business

I've spent the past half hour reading up on Matrix again. What about the metadata issue? Seems like Signal goes to great lengths to ensure that the only data they have about a user is their phone number and the most recent day they con

You mean Signal which was created by Moxie Marlinspike and other legit cryptogaphers and security researchers? Who rolled Telegram's crypto? No idea. Why should we trust them? No idea. I think I'll go with the people who have been
