americans and explosions: it is mandatory that the word "god" be involved. always, 100% of the time. it's right there in the national anthem: you must repeat OMG OMG OMG incessantly, even if it was science and not god that caused the explosion

amazon knows they collected my money for an order and they know that the order was never delivered, yet they make it a phone call (or app install) to get a refund. such utter dark pattern bullshit

i think someone should tell the coinbase ceo that cosplaying the stonks man isn't really acceptable behavior for a ceo of a publicly traded company

Why does Signal require a CLA? The code is already AGPL, why is a rights assignment needed? (The Linux kernel, for example, does not require a CLA.)

The libsignal-client-node js module that signal desktop uses includes a precompiled node binary in the repo for some reason...

not sketchy at all

the number of dependencies in the signal desktop app package.json is terrifying to me

this whole "moxie doesn't let signal forks talk to signal servers" is nonsense. signal is GPL, you are allowed to fork it and you are allowed to distribute a fork that connects to signal.org. if moxie has a problem with signal users talking to signal.org (using forked clients), that's a ToS issue, not anything to do with the GPL Signal application, which can have any URLs you want in it.
