At the time I was changing to signal, I only had google messages on my desktop, so I would answer accumulated messages at home.

There was no cell service at work so SMS didn't work, but I could use wifi.

In modern times, we have RCS so it's kind of not really a problem anymore, but everyone I know uses signal now anyways.

I didn't make it hard, I got Telegram and Matrix and met people halfway where I could. But naturally everyone I know just settled on signal since it also did SMS so it replaced an app rather than added one. Plus id didn't feel like a "sign up" since it just worked. Those days are gone but the network effect is already chugging along.

Adipose tissue is estrogenic, if anything it should enhance results.

I make the private option easier than the locked in version.

Homeassistant will let us see our locations, run lights, run media centers, control AC, etc. So why do you need Google Home or Google Maps Location Sharing?

Signal will let us chat over WIFI unlike texts, and I will answer it unlike a Google chat account. Before the SMS death it was easier since it did SMS and signal in one app, easier to convince someone if it can replace the old one and add new features.

I configure two SSIDs, one for things I trust and one for those I don't. I can run firewall rules and add security on the backend where they can't see it.

Tiktok you can run a campaign against it by saying it damages cognition, is harmful to youth, supports the CCP.

You can run a pi hole style filter list,ehich might break some stuff so you have to be willing to play tech support.

I don't know anything about kids but it couldn't hurt to teach them some simple skills like html so they get a taste for what's happening behind the scenes.

The school district lawyers have to use whatever argument they think will work best to win the case, it is their duty to their client.

No matter how unreasonable a position it is.

Makes it so annoying to only want it for star trek only to have them delete some of my favorite star treks

Very car-brained to not consider a car heavy machinery.
