From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I downvoted because Signal is not the best solution for privacy. XMPP is.
at least glowies didn't get to it yet, correct me if I am wrong.
I have no clue who or what "glowies" are :P Searched the web and found this: en.wiktionary.org/wiki/glowie. Correct?
yeah basically feds. No offense but how do you not know this already? XD I assumed most people in this comm already know what that meant
Alright. Haha, I filter out Big Tech and far-right shit on Mastodon :P It's probably because of that. And if some far-right person starts to chat/talk to me, I often ignore him/her. Luckily, that haven't happen... yet.
And to comment your first comment further. JD Vance uses Signal, or at least used. There was a massive Signal leak with him involved few months ago.
ah poop I live under a rock sometimes. But yeah I heard that trump and his wives' signal chats got leaked didn't think that signal itself got breached. I also hate those dumb big tech and far right people XD anyways ty for the info
I live under a rock most of the time, so welcome to the club. What I know of, the leaks are screenshots from the devices. How a 1-on-1 chat on Signal got leaked other than by screenshots is beyond me, though. If there is a breach in Signal Protocol, there's a breach in OMEMO, too, since OMEMO uses Signal Protocol.
you're wrong but also obnoxious
Let me know how and where I was obnoxious in my previous post :) That way, I can learn from my mistakes.
ya it's ok sorry my man I take it back
