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)

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.

My admin friend told me that all email is now secure and encrypted by default.
Of course you have to trust whoever is hosting your email though. Don’t trust Gmail, yahoo, hotmail etc
Selfish people don’t care about those factors. The existing graph has a better chance of swaying them.
I suspect the ranting author failed to appreciate that Bluetooth is probably cheaper to implement for the audio because regular headphones require three wires while power supply only requires two. Ingenious really.
EDIT: Proper wired headphones would also require a soundcard in the dongle.
The guy was having a funny geeky bitch. He was laughing at himself. He doesn’t expect Apple to change anything.
EDIT: I think you are right, that last paragraph of his is weirdly serious. Would have been pure comedy without it.
Misleading title. He did not win the appeal.
He won the opportunity to have an appeal hearing.
It is last week’s news anyhow.
Aren’t ads dispersed throughout the discussions? If not, then why not?
Am surprised to see Australia rates highly. 40% of students don’t know it takes about a year for Earth to orbit the Sun.
I would guess that half the population doesn’t understand compound interest.
I would also guess only 5% could describe the scientific method, 1% could describe the use of normal distributions.
I would guess that 20% of locally born Australians would not know how to use punctuation or grammar for clear expression.
Is this a worldwide trend? The rise of flerfers suggests it is.
I prefer promotion of humility and a lifestyle which puts the emphasis on values relationships, nature, personal time etc, for instance…
In August 2020 the Chinese government launched “Operation empty plate”, a campaign to stop food and beverage waste and cultivate frugality.
However banning materialist fetishes will probably do more good than harm anyhow. Slippery slope though.
Yes on Android I can do split tunnelling too as well as 4G. So a total of four IP’s (not three).
It is annoyingly inconsistent that the Android app split tunnelling is done via an exclusion list but the laptop app does it via an inclusion list.
But you only get two IP addresses on each device, right?
“Split tunnelling” lets you use your regular ISP for some apps but Proton for others. So you can use different browsers to appear to be two different people on a single web site.
Then how is the authenticity of a number tested by Signal?
