@anildash Interesting. What would be your advice for a person who thinks themselves a white allie and also thinks cleanliness is overemphasised in our culture? Just shut up about it?

@evan Hm… my English is not as good as I like to think :)

@signalapp also in Belgian national media there's a professor from Antwerp spreading FUD about Signal ( https://www.vrt.be/vrtnws/nl/2025/03/25/signal-berichten-geheime-besprekingen-amerika/ )…

He’s calling it a "commercial app”. He claims intelligence services are able to attack if they want (somewhat credible I guess), and then proposes Threema as a better alternative, because the servers are in Switzerland (which sounds irrelevant to me in the context of e2ee without metadata).

Is there already an evolution proposal to make swift force unwrap throwing instead of crashing? #swiftlang

@kyle that's part of XCTest, so not possible to use in regular code?

@evan is it about curation algorithms or harvesting personal data?

@evan only the US and Tiktok care. No opinion.

@icanzilb you must be living close to @Gargron
