Signal introduces usernames and phone number privacy.
  • That sucks and is quite unfortunate, would've been cool to have another option other than signing up with your phone number but I suppose it's alright

  • Signal introduces usernames and phone number privacy.
  • About time!! Been waiting for this for so long. This will definitely make the usability of Signal better and it'll also be more accessible to people who wanted a Telegram like way to talk to other folks. Requiring a number to still register isn't a bad thing in my eyes though sometimes it can be frustrating so I hope that there's an option to create an account without a number. Maybe the account will have finite time before it's auto-deleted if you don't input a number some time later to ensure that this option isn't abused to all hell by bots and malicious actors alike.

  • Choose your ultimate lineup!
  • SOAD, Mudvayne and Static-X

    Imagine a show where all 3 bands play new material, Static-X has already released some new stuff but SOAD (excluding those two single in 2020) and Mudvayane have yet to do so

    It'd be an amazing show for all I know!

  • While it's true that voting for a purely retaliatory reason would be good but wouldn't you want your vote to have some amount of change? I'm not discrediting the integrity of the smaller parties but it really won't make much of a difference to vote for them even if it is towards a good cause simply because their size is too small to compete with the giants or even in state elections. Andhbhakts are everywhere unfortunately.
