Several reports and commentaries in similar vein have been coming out recently https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-11-23/ukraine-risks-being-forced-into-talks-baltic-diplomat-says#xj4y7vzkg

I use OpenBoard and is very happy with it.

I primarily user Startpage and DuckDuckGo. With all the controversies surrounding it and its founder, I can’t bring myself to trusting Brave.

OP was asking about Brave’s search engine here, not the browser.

Brendan Eich was also spewing misinformation on Covid-19 during the pandemic https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/22/business/brave-brendan-eich-covid-19.html

Same here.

Signal is already making some progress on building protections against the use of quantum computers to break its encryption https://signal.org/blog/pqxdh/

That was also a hack on Twilio. Signal itself wasn’t compromised in any way if I am not wrong.

Signal fiasco?

What does itoddlers mean?

As others have pointed out here, Signal is a very good choice.

This looks really good! Thanks for suggesting this.

Discord is not FOSS and is a privacy nightmare.

Yes.

Yeah, a recovery mail address (which is optionally added) that was connected to a Twitter account. There is nothing dishonest happening here. They don’t have access to our mails, but they are legally bound to share the metadata they do have access to when there is a lawful request from a government agency.

This is a good explanation, thanks.

I still use them for my TV and AC remotes, flashlights and wall clocks.

I never realised that many people don’t need to use it anymore.

Their daily active users declined by 82 percent from its peak https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/news/threads-user-base-has-plummeted-more-than-80-metas-app-ended-july-with-just-8-million-daily-active-users-/articleshow/102435552.cms

The number of users are just stabilising. This is expected after a sudden spike in users.

Its very rare for me to find a bug on Signal. The app has been really stable over the past few years. In the rare occasions when I did come across one in the past, I reported them in the support forum.
