And we should be thankful that. But merely existing isn’t cool.

And that wasn’t wrong.
I never claimed Signal was compromised. I said it was funded by the CIA. In another comment I even explicitly caveated that it is actually seemingly secure, in spite of that financial connection.

The ones built by leftists don’t pay as well.

The truth is in between.
The CIA funded Signal to be a truly secure and open source messaging platform for overseas dissidents to use, wherein they could support their efforts, while pursuing US political objectives.
Eventually, people in the US started to use it to evade oppression, and the CIA went “NO!! NOT LIKE THAT!!!”
Regardless, the proven facts of the matter are that the CIA funded Signal.

No lol but I guess they did it twice?
It was in the news a year or few ago that the CIA was ceasing its funding of Signal.

Allard stated his opinion and said that “They will also be forced to leave, even if they are born in Sweden, because they have no natural connection to Sweden. They are not Swedish.”
Lol how is being born somewhere not a natural connection???

Signal was kickstarted by the CIA, so dissidents in regimes they wanted to topple could communicate securely, but at least that seems genuine.
Matrix was an Israeli spy company’s invention.
Telegram is Russian.
Reddit started out as the creation of Aaron Schwartz, but he got demonised and committed suicide. Then it was left to that shit eater spez, who sold his soul to the Epstein crowd making Ghislaine Maxwell a powermod among others, also hosting r/the_donald and bridging Trump’s popularity from 4chan into the mainstream. Now he sells everyone’s data to Google, while still not paying the manufacturers of that data anything.
TrueCrypt got shut down because it was too cool.

I’m happy to do that, but without any update notification a new update will likely go unnoticed for some time.

One of the big issues with 7-Zip is that it only really updates manually. There is literally no update functionality baked in, at least in the version I’ve been running.
Aaron Swartz is and always was the guy who coded the core functionality of reddit. He was the man who Tim Burners Lee said would lead the charge for the internet into the 21st century.
Instead, the FBI drove him to death.
Spez and that other dude had the idea to make reddit, but Aaron built it for them. Then Randall from XKCD made the “Best” sorting algorithm.
Then Spez shat all over everything for personal gain.
Then you came here to post.
