I recognize you’re probably not the original commenter, but this is the same flavor of strawman.
App is app. Other app is other app.
In one app, it was possible to send both SMS and encrypted messages. In the other, just SMS.

I don’t feel that it’s me being intentionally dense here because, again, you’ve concocted an irrelevant scenario to argue your tenuous position - which I already agreed is possible, but irrelevant in this context.

Appreciate the heads up on session.
Not doubting that pushy idiots are going to pushy idiot, but I think you’ve strawmanned the actual reason hard enough.
Most people who want it back don’t need, want, or understand why secure messaging exists.
Here’s the simple facts:
SMS is not secure, or private.
Signal is for secure, private comms.
As mildly inconvenient as it is, Signal explained their reasoning in great detail, and I happen to agree: There should never have been an insecure option on a secure messaging app.
It was for the music in a linked game download, and owner decided to close up shop.
And it feels so good! I hated how breaking in to the mobi files wrecked the formatting.
Appreciate the correction! I haven’t dealt with Amazon for e-books since I got my first Kobo reader 5-6 years ago, so I’m out of the loop.
I vaguely recall that they received a takedown notice.
Kobo consistently makes better products overall, but the ability to avoid Amazon (and the nonsense that comes from their proprietary format) is priceless.
I relied upon tips for ten years, and this is as clear as day to me: Tipping makes the customer a scapegoat.
This is a clear cut case of the (intentionally) adversarial relationship created between customer and employee being used to shield the root cause - the low paying employer.
If work were compensated appropriately, tipping would not be necessary. In order to get to that, we need the workers to assess blame appropriately.
Unfortunately, unless the workers are able to do that, they will continue to incorrectly blame customers for their inability to earn a living wage.
If you want to see this adversarial relationship in action - visit the forums where DoorDash drivers and customers discuss the issue.
The only way a customer can help to force the employers hand is to stop tipping - which will negatively impact those who rely upon tips before they turn on their low-paying employers. Only then will things change without a federal law mandating a thriving wage.
2013 was a terrible year for media consumption.
Google killed the only thing about Google that I had any sort of true feelings for. It was exactly what I wanted in a feed reader. It almost killed my affinity to read the news during my commutes.
It was the same year that The Onion stopped printing paper copies, too.
It was also the year The Hangover 3 was released at the request of nobody, but I digress.
RIP Google Reader.
Current models waste space, weight, and durability by including an “off” button.
I love comparing apples to orangutans. Really paints a clear picture.
I can’t imagine that archiving and instance migration aren’t on the hub roadmap, but they’re probably well beyond the horizon.
Nascent tech rarely prioritizes development for contingencies like it’s own decay/demise.
Bad mojo. 😆
I like to commit crimes while screaming that I’m committing crimes.
It makes the crimes more obvious so that everyone knows I’m committing crimes.
reconsider your approach.
Start with the fucking name. Yikes.
We should all take a moment to consider this attempt by Microsoft to force AMD and Intel to integrate ‘chip to cloud’ nonsense.
There. Now realize how hard we will all shit on either company if they actually implement it.
Indeed.
It’s a very basic trade that it seems few understand. You MUST trade a bit of convenience to increase your security, or mistakes will happen.
