Just checked with the team (I used to be involved), and apparently the reason is that Tor's policy is too short for the algorithm that turns policy annotations into a grade. (This also kickstarted a discussion that maybe that warrants

Well, the security should be good enough for most people's threat models. But government officials will probably want to have some restrictions on who can be added to a group, for example.

Sorry, to clarify: when I said "they", I meant Signal.

As I understand it they do all have a hardware device they can use for secure communications. Presumably, it's just more of a hassle.

Just to be explicit, since your comment doesn't mention it: via your link they also accept Credit Card, PayPal, and bank transfers, and you can specify custom amounts there.

Their shtick is that they won't have to fight much, because they can't turnover someone's messages. Here are some examples of where they were legally compelled to turn over everything they had, and they did - but it was r

The main question is whether this will lead to a flywheel effect, where adoption is self-reinforcing. Because we've been seeing that in the Netherlands, a small country that is nevertheless now in the top 5 countries with most Signal u

I have learned a long time ago not to make claims about how hard it is to implement something in other people's projects - I get it wrong often enough about my own. (Also, I don't think there's a single "PWA spec".)

Good to know: this is about desktop. Firefox for Android already supports installable web apps.

If you have site-specific issues, if you're up to it it would be great if you could report it via the menu (or Help, on MacOS) -> Report broken site, or via https://webcompat.com .

From the Connect post I gather that a middle ground is basically the plan - you'll still have e.g. your extensions accessible, but there won't be a tab bar.

As I understand it, two problems are: 1) There's no clear definition of what it's "supposed" to. Not everyone who uses the term PWA wants the same things. 2. Some things are just a lot harder to implement than others.

That too seems an ungenerous characterisation, and the GP could not have deduced that from the OP. I'm glad the author is constructively incorporating criticism and working to turn this into a useful tool that OSM users will benefit fr

"plow forward" and implying they didn't consider their actions and their effects seem ungenerous, given the list of precautions in the comment you're replying to. You can disagree on whether the measures are effective, o

If you're talking about the STF that I'm thinking of, that's purely a German project.

I don't think that necessarily holds if the attack is by a NATO member.

Honestly for German it somewhat makes sense, since "Deutsch" (German for "German") sounds like "Dutch", but Danish is farther-fetched. Then again, I can imagine the two countries (and a couple of other similar

Not all these motions were by GL/PvdA (but a few were), and they haven't been in power for a long time, and aren't now, so there's not much more than "gestures" you can expect of them at the moment. But yes, th

A heads-up in case there's any confusion: Greenland is part of Denmark, whereas the Dutch Parliament is the parliament of the Netherlands. Both are part of the EU, of course (although Greenland isn't).

Let's first see if the actual government follows suit - this is just a call by Parliament. And even if the government follows suit, we'll have to see how long it will take and how well they will do it. But still a good first step.
