I still try to find the advantage over Whatsapp in the long-term. I get that Signal is not Facebook, so it has that going for it, however beside that it leaks the same data (which Signal says it is not storing however). You could probably c

I agree with the basics and also that Signal is pretty much designed like Whatsapp and so the switch is rather easy. The article however also includes the setup process which is important to many. Just take Element (aka Riot/RiotX) as

What a good write-up and attention to detail for seemingly unimportant stuff. > I often find myself repeating the following: if you’re asking the user to set a password, tell them all the password rules. And also on login please.

If you have any evidence that Trump called for violence, come forward with it. PS.: And also how Parler is responsible for any of this would be interesting.

How is the video in Georgia debunked? They sent observers home (even a big newslet posted this on Twitter at that time), counted the ballots afterwards and Biden had a spike. And btw I am from Germany, so I am on neither "camp".

However, what if the election really was fraudulent? I mean the video in Georgia after the election observer were sent home, were pretty incriminating. Also seeing how BLM got backing and did way more damage, makes this all look pretty one-

The lockdown is not a consequence of COVID. The fact that (especially) young people were affected means you need to compare the lethality of these younger groups and that one is below 0.1% (under the age of 60 in Sweden). Is it still worth

You are always rolling the dice when you get a cold. The important part is how likely the side effects really are and this is proven for neither. In addition to this, vaccine side effects can be way more severe than that especially for othe

I am supposed to know what nobody does. Nobody knows the long-term side effects of either vaccines against COVID and that is exactly my point. Btw: What was not tested at all was if this leads to sterile immunity. So vaccinated ppl could st

Using a vaccine which is tested exclusively on young men (which is the normal procedure) on elderly first is yet another inconsistency in the "holy vaccine"-narrative.

A vaccine that is tested for around 6 months. Actually it's multiple vaccines with two new approaches which are not tested at all for long-term side effects. From that perspective it's not really desirable to get "people"

What did Trump say/do that called for violence? Why could rioters just go to the capitol? Seeing a dozen news articles the best argument seems to be that the mention of not attending the inauguration was a call for violence. I don'

It is in fact a conspiracy theory. But a small reminder that conspiracy theory doesn't tell you anything about the truthfulness, e.g. that the Iraq War was based on made-up evidence was a conspiracy theory. That being said: Your explan
