Looks nice! Reminds me of a similar program (a bbs door, really) named ‘yogurt’ by @sedatk — I remember using it to improve my fast-typing around 2002-2003. This brings back memori…

1. I’ll give you one guess why that is. 2. It is possible, and you better believe it. They haven’t updated it, because there is no need for it. Signal is simply not interested in y…

It feels like some people don't imagine these companies to be ready for compliance. As if they don't have all the knobs ready to turn on a per-region/country/state basis as soon as…

Google didn't 'fully' move out of China; it still has offices there, doing some business as usual.
