Or just use Safari. I use a browser for FB for years on my Android phone. Only problem is that when I try to chat it tries to install messenger unless I am in desktop mode.

On a Windows laptop it is easy to use with a browser, even chatting.

Arguably a blend of Office and Yes, Minister.

I think it is just Ireland though (which is why I added Ireland to the title).

I see now that the photo is from the golf course not the speech. That he posed for that one shows once again how media savvy he is.

The first assassination attempt created the iconic image. That happened only 80 seconds after the shooting, ie as soon as security let him stand up. Here is the uncut footage.

Didn’t even click to read the satire.

As much as I hate the guy it was marketing genius to do the fist pump immediately.

Same as his mug shot (although he probably practiced that one for hours in a mirror).

Many of his core followers are only semi-literate. They respond to iconic imagery.

He says nothing about the PIN, so I don’t think that is what protects Signal as OP writes. It simply doesn’t rely on SS7.

You only type your PIN into Signal about once a month.

I think you and most people in this thread have been mislead by the article because of the closing remark.

Beyond terrorism, the most dangerous pedophiles communicate on Telegram to exchange content.

But it isn’t the private stuff he is being prosecuted for though AFAIK (although it might have been reported by “traitors” within those chats).

Unlike Signal, there are public chat groups and channels and I presume these are the ones which got him into trouble for propagating illegal activity.

From another article…

terrorism, narcotic supply, fraud, money laundering, receiving stolen goods and others… he allowed an incalculable number of offenses and crimes to be committed, which he did nothing to moderate

The platform has faced issues of misinformation and hate speech, especially antisemitic speech following October 7, 2023.

No mandatory 2FA as far as I know.

Then how is the authenticity of a number tested by Signal?

Isn’t spoofing a phone number easy for scammers? If so, I don’t understand why there is (admittedly) so little spam on Signal.

Does Signal require 2FA upon registration? (I cannot recall)

I am living in a small room in Sydney caring for my bed-ridden demented Mum and rarely spend time in my house 100km away. Please don’t punish me for it.

I can’t really think of any other valid reasons.

My place is vacant 100km away while I look after my bed-ridden demented Mum. Unpaid.

My “vacancy tax” is the $1000 of stuff stolen by thieves who broke in.

If they are the only two options then it isn’t practical. Wouldn’t six characters be enough? One in 56,800,235,584 chance of guessing and brute force attacks could be avoided with a limit of 3 tries per hour.

EDIT: Or I could just content myself with the first 6 characters matching. I suppose there is my solution.

Definitely a UI issue because it is not clear what the user is supposed to do according to the UI.

Should I be sitting physically next to the person to confirm? Read out the gazillion character code to them over a regular phone call?

Symmetrical transparency.

It was Edward Snowden who said that “Arguing that you don’t care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don’t care about free speech because you have nothing to say.”

But the Australian eSafety Commissioner isn’t giving up her “won’t someone think of the children” rhetoric.

And good news in Australia (despite the disingenuous headline).

News today: vote has been postponed.
