They also depend on the Intel SGX secure enclave which can limit their choice of cloud providers.

So when I read from Meredith that (paraphrasing) "there's no other choice than hyperscalers", I think Signal may have made a mistake and they know they can't fix it anytime soon.

I'm a happy paying user of @signal.org but I'm disappointed by @meredithmeredith.bsky.social thread about the AWS outage.

Signal chose a centralized design to be more nimble (watch to media.ccc.de/v/36c3-11086...), but that comes with drawbacks.

The ecosystem is moving

Considerations for distributed and decentralized technologies from the perspective of a product that many would like to see decentralize....

yep, I was tempted by the Pocket version but that's a bit expensive for a device I won't use much. On the other hand I bought Linux phones that are almost as expensive and way less usable...

It's going to be absolutely critical that we be able to hack on and trust the hardware we use. I think the hardware from MNT is the best bet we have for a computing future we still have a say in mnt.re

I hope the MNT Reform Next is going to make MNT's stuff more accessible to more people

As a French I'm very confused by that waffles vs pancakes drama. Everyone knows that crêpes are the real thing.
