"Domain-verifications" is an invitation for everyone else that might need it to use the same standard and convention. "Discord-domain-verification" is not, it's what feels like polluting the global namespace with the…
No, in fact I don't. But this post wouldn't be of any help anyway. It feels like it's about nothing, there is no substance, just stating some obvious facts. Without examples that lead to some real recommendations, this…

Are you sure the counter is not broken?
It looks like the developer was so hooked on the idea of making it minimalistic, he forgot to make it a language-learning app. So it's a blob with a backstory. Design with no substance.
Maybe you'll appreciate having it pointed out to you: you should work on your usage of "where" vs "were".
XD XD
For the JS developers: similar useful behavior (and more!) can be implemented in JS using the wonderful Effection library. https://effection-www.deno.dev/

I was just asking to know your thought process, but this discussion probably won't lead to anything anyway — in my view a person's stance on vaccines, gay rights, what have you, doesn't make you any worse developer. If…

False dychotomy — there are more options than "protecting anonymity" and "revealing identity so that credentials can be vetted". He just writes what he believes under his own name, it doesn't necessarily have anything…
"By design", for me, doesn't say that it can't be changed — maybe the design was wrong, after all. Would it be a major hurdle or create some problems if fixed today?
Can you share the link?
Aren't these bugs that could be "simply" reported and fixed? Or maybe those would get a label "not a bug" attached by the TS creators for some reason?
This is not my point. Trusting someone else's code audit is infinitely more valuable than trusting any "vibe check", since it touches the actual subject matter.
I don't claim that the problem does not exist, but I haven't really felt it during my daily usage with relatives.
I'll try from another angle: If I wanted to make a honeypot that undermines users' privacy and anonymity, I would make sure to be as nice to everyone as possible. The "vibe check" is irrelevant, the false positives are…
It's useless in the sense that it makes an anonymity promise to users that it cannot fulfill.
What types of abuse it really curbs?

SimpleX is not a phone and its model of distribution and being open-source makes it much harder to infiltrate than these projects you're hinting at.
And the appropriate basis of trust in the technology world would be source code audits, not scraping some individual's Twitter posts. If the users' communications are encrypted — which they are — there is no way for the…
Focusing on security and privacy is great, but I expected some downsides. I'm glad you decided to emphasize the dedication of the creator of SimpleX instead. EncroChat was not open-source, so it was much easier to be…
