The headline made me sad but this comment made me laugh. If only all life's problems could be handled with simple engineering. With all the machinery you'd have to stuff everywhere…

Not that my opinion matters, but just to document it: I at first thought this was a new project, something having to do with identity. I clicked, and saw some messy images like som…

It feels like Apple the PC is neglected for Apple the phone/tablet. If I'm looking for a mobile device, I'm looking at Apple. But for laptop and desktop, their offerings don't seem…

For one thing, XMPP does not have the same features. Try Wire and see for yourself. There's audio, video, voice messages, multiple device encryption. Maybe XMPP has improved, but i…

They did in another comment on this page. I do not see any evidence that worries me. Perhaps if you're a famous terrorist, you won't want to use it, because your GIF searches might…

Thanks for trying, but it appears to me you're paranoid. The user directory in Wire is public. It is no secret that you're on there. They need information about whom you're connect…

You can't list a bunch of serious claims like the audio can be reconstructed with no additional information. There was a feud between the Signal people and Wire, so there is a lot …

I found no value in the first two seasons. It's been on the front page of HN at least 4 times in the past couple weeks. I tried watching the third season hoping it was better. It's…

Branding? I think it's basically an Ensure for geeks. "Soylent Green" is from an old science fiction. I seem to recall Soylent being started on Reddit years ago. They call a recipe…

I am too. I hear people describing it where it sounds like something I'm supposed to like. But I watched all the previous episodes, and they were all stupid. I saw no depth. It was…

Wire is missing. https://wire.com/

Maybe https://wire.com/ could allow decentralization someday?

They seem more friendly and open than the Signal guys. They're using similar encryption, go check out their GitHub for more info. It doesn't require a phone number and has multi-de…

That doesn't seem as good as Wire. Why should I bother with Signal? https://wire.com/

I understand that feeling, but it's too idealistic to be practical right now. We have to accept that convenience has won. These types of social networks depend on a critical mass o…

Why don't people talk about https://wire.com/ ? It's encrypted and mostly open source. It has the most features I've seen including multiple devices, group chat, audio, desktop app…

What does the word "Materialistic" have to do with Hacker News? I did a web search to see if I'm missing something, but it looks like it's just a name that does not fit. How about …

Just a heads up... Hacker News is not a free speech zone. The slightest negative emotion in a comment will have it either disappear or you banned. Even just writing a vulgar word i…

Why are you jealous when you can easily create your own website that does the same exact thing. You can think of your own added bonus and charge a different price. Too often we fee…

It is not efficient to download Chromium for every app. I think Electron produces 60-80 MB binary files. I'm disappointed when someone uses Electron because it usually means a slow…
