I'm the president of Signal. I love dance music in the mornings, night yoga, and acting like a tourist — here's a day in my life.
Meredith Whittaker wakes up by 6 am whether she's in New York or Paris and checks her Signal, where the entire company operates and communicates.

The real horror of the story is not the software, but what people do with it.

if you're doing a side project and someone else is doing the same, don't let this discourage you
it doesn't hurt to have alternatives, different implementations, who knows if they will go as far as you do, and in any case, you will learn a lot and have something cool to show

show this to anyone else you know who also assumed DHH was just a normal conservative dude rather than a raging white supremacist lunatic
DHH Is Way Worse Than I Thought | jakelazaroff.com
DHH's politics are not normal. Maybe they used to be, I don't know, but as of right now the dude is_way outside of what most people would consider moral or acceptable.

We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe. signal.org/blog/pdfs/ge...

How is this not bigger news in tech/security circles.

Jaguar Land Lover lost $250M (£200M) and counting thanks to a cyberattack that it still couldn’t mitigate. This is growing every week.

The cost of underinvesting in security is very real. 1+ month recovery is bonkers

My dear friend,

This is either burnout or clinical depression, and if you're feeling like this, (while unfortunately temporarily common in our industry and current world), it is not normal long term - and it will very likely come with serious long term health consequences.

You need to seek help!

This is a project I've long wanted to do... congrats to Matt for pulling it off!
The iMac G3 from 2001 is my favourite-looking computer of all time, but it's completely unusable these days because of its age.

So I tore out its insides (leaving the CRT screen intact of course) and replaced them with a brand new Mac Mini M4.
This 25-Year-Old iMac is Faster Than My Gaming PC
I dragged this iMac G3, kicking and screaming, 25 years into the present by swapping its innards for a brand new Mac Mini M4.
