Also kind of ironic to show a big picture of an iPhone prominently on the frontpage. You can't even install your own software on it without rooting it or getting a devkit. Perhaps showing a pinephone or a Librem 5 would be more fitting

While potentially worrisome I always figured the biggest benefit of using Signal was the self destructing messages. If you are (as the article states) using Signal as a protester to "communicate securely with their teams marshaling pro

RedHat will probably get a one time boost in RHEL sales at the expense that the void created by the CentOS project will be filled by some CentOS-fork they have no control over. Maybe they have some grand scheme I'm not seeing but it fe
