Oh definitely. At least Reddit can be searched (let's see for how long though)

My wife is T1 too and I wholeheartedly agree. The development in that area is outrageously slow and locked down (and then there's healthcare providers with whom you have to fight tooth and nails to get your ancient pump upgraded - another story and country-specific).
What about that trunk though? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
But now we have AI! Both and many more problems will be solved any time now...
With new possibilities due to new tech user demands rise, too. People asked for features like group or video chats or coupled devices (not trivial with E2EE) and since good companies listen, they developed those and still do.
Also, I don't think there's a single IRC client still in use that hasn't been updated since the 80s. I wouldn't be surprised if your favorite client got an update in the last couple of months - and that despite it being a trivial protocol.
Why isn't it on F-droid if it's FOSS?
That got me interested and apparently, they fear forks running out of date.
Concerning F-Droid, we already providing an auto-updating APK directly from our site, and we really don't want forked versions of the app maintained by other parties connecting to our servers. Not only could the users using the forked version have a subpar experience, but the people they're talking to (using official clients) could also have a subpar experience (for example, an official client could try to send a new kind of message that the fork, having fallen out of date, doesn't support). I know you say you'd advocate for a build expiry, but you know how things go. Of course you have our full support if you'd like to fork Signal, name it something else, and use your own servers.
While that statement got plenty of thumbs down, I hate to admit that F-Droid is indeed out of date quite often. I currently can't find a source for this but I once read this has something to do with their signing process.
Did you start with Fallout 1 or 3?
Well, hardly any consumer actively buys Windows since it comes pre-installed on most PCs.
I swear it's always Adblock Plus in memes about ad-blocking. Who makes these memes?
Really? Traumatized by porn at 18 years old?
If you're afraid of triple letter agencies you probably shouldn't engage in social media at all.
The privacy concerns are about coercion from the user base. The bar to spin up a private instance to get to the voting data is far too high for 99% of the users.
Not curious enough to actually read the article, eh?
One may argue about money laundering but it's pretty clearly fraud.
