It's something you wouldn't have a problem with until you sat down in a booth and suddenly your back is covered in some shirtless person's sweat.

You might think that but it's actually established parlance

This comment is honestly so telling. You're okay with Trump getting re-elected and sending even MORE weapons to Israel, just so long as you personally don't have to feel anything on your "conscience".

Sounds more driven by selfishness than actual compassion if you ask me.

He had a severe benzo addiction and rather than going through the normal treatment of tapering off use, he opted for an experimental treatment offered in Russia where he was instead placed in a medically induced coma to avoid the worst of the withdrawals. This had other side effects though and he later described having to relearn basic motor functions after being awoken, so who knows what else that did to him.

When asked about her anti-trans votes, [Thierry] called gender-affirming care “Black genocide.”

Does anybody even know what this is supposed to mean??

Lmao, I can assure you that to people who hate gay people, you will ALWAYS be one of those people no matter how pathetically you grovel at their feet, the democrats have nothing to do with that.

She did say it and its on video. Vivek himself posted the clip on his twitter saying "I disagree with her but respect that she had the guts to speak her mind" How embarassing.

This comment reads kind of weird, as if you feel personally snubbed that they "ignored" your concerns when in reality the app developers just had different ideas about what direction the app would go in.

Like, that's totally fine! At the end of the day if you were only interested in a replacement SMS app then Signal just wasn't for you. As someone whose primary interest is the security and privacy guaranteed by Signal not only encrypting messages but also message metadata (something Google's RCS explicitly does NOT do) I'm perfectly satisfied with how it functions.

That said, I don't care about stickers or the weird crypto integration, but it satisfies my other needs and includes a desktop client to boot, so I have nothing to complain about.

To answer your first question, AWOL is also used colloquially to describe people wildly or destructively ignoring the responsibilities of their job. So it'd be an apt descriptor if it was talking about a REAL priest but in this case it's just flowery wording (presumably for alliteration)

It doesn't get a whole lot of attention but it's the most mature open source authenticator app and one of the first ones you would find in fdroid. With that said, there's nothing really standout about it or its features, it just works.

They can only reveal metadata since they keep everything encrypted, but that was enough to track down this person's Proton recovery email address? That's disconcerting.

Trying to use a commercial privacy service to threaten election officials is definitely some dumb shit though, but I bet they could have avoided that outcome with some better opsec

Says who? There's nothing wrong with having multiple DEs installed, and any decent desktop manager (like sddm) trivializes launching into any of them.
