Nope. I believe people should carry, or rather deserve, more dignity than that.

Mostly the costumes.

my mom and a bunch of other people

People who aren’t very close to you are one thing, but wouldn’t your mom of all people be wiling to install Signal or your preferred alternative?

I apologise if my opinion here (this ceremony being ‘disgusting’) came across as me finding it to be fact, because I didn’t. My opinion here is one I consider sensible, and as such would find anyone disagreeing insane.

Perhaps you took this:

This was a horrible waste of money and time

Out of the context of being an opinion formed by me?

think you had an original thought

Much to the contrary. My thought is anything but original, and I’m far happier for it.

Additionally, being informed by the ‘insecurities and beliefs’ (as you say) one is raised with hardly makes one a slave to the world providing these ‘insecurities and beliefs’ - I would think that learning from lessons told is much smarter than trying to come up with stupid original thoughts.

Additionally, could you elaborate on what you mean by ‘insecurities’?

This was a horrible waste of money and time, and only really produced something that I can only describe as disgusting. Someone who recognises that doesn’t automatically become a bigot.

Have a source?

Holds true for most of what this guy said, save a few things.

I can agree with this, at least.

If you want to keep everything inside a singular Nix configuration while still using Docker, you can check out the NixOS option virtualisation.oci-containers - essentially, a declarative way of managing docker/podman containers (similar to docker-compose) but with Nix.

Very nice, this comes with a lot of advantages for Hyprland, and I wholeheartedly congratulate Vaxry on separating from the rubbish that is FDO’s management.

Wouldn’t just using a temporary phone number service work? From what I remember, you just need to recieve a text message and put it into Signal during registration. From skimming through the post, there’s no mention of this option.

I would agree somewhat, except I think Bitwarden verifiably doesn’t store unencrypted password data. Of course, I think that a self-hosted solution is pretty much always more secure than one that isn’t, but the convenience Bitwarden provides is real.

You could host on Gitea and mirror to GitHub. Obviously, users may be less inclined to sign up to your Gitea instance, but I hope people being unwilling to register becomes less of an issue once Forgejo (Gitea fork) implements forge federation.

I hope this changes (even if a little bit) once Forgejo (FLOSS Gitea fork) adds forge federation.

I’m not sure - conduwuit does seem to have more active development but it’s not as though conduit is dead either…I also can’t find any other reasons to use conduwuit mentioned on its repository, so I’m just going to stick to conduit.

I’ve been using Conduit within a docker container for a while now, and it’s worked pretty well aside from the mautrix-signal bridge (this was fixed in version v7.0.0, I think). Other than conduit, I tried out dendrite, but the latency in sending messages was unbearable.

I’ve previously had issues with Matrix being incredibly slow and unreliable with federation (I’m self-hosting). However, that’s pretty much in the past now and I seem to have somehow resolved that issue.

I’d just like to add that you can use a temporary phone number service to sign up to Signal as you only need a phone number to register, not to actually use Signal.
