I just say "post grezz sequel". Sorry if it pisses people off, but it's a stupid name, so I'm gonna say it the way I want.

Rules of English, the closest I'd come is n-jinx. You don't pronounce letters individually, unless reciting the alphabet or something.

Unless you pronounce the letter "B" the same way you say it, like the bug that makes honey.

We don't say "beenefits" or "bee eee an eee eef eye tee ess"

Wtf?

It's Jason. If they wanted it pronounced that way, they should've spelled it differently...

Like GIF

Sorry, no, at least one could argue GIF. JSON is a single freakin' vowel short of a common male name.

Morons.

But, how?

(I know, it's in the article, just really surprised/impressed. Surpressed? Imprised?)

Time to start blocking all FF domains and IP addresses. Just like Facebook.

Wait, what??

You can't just post that without a link!

Frankly the military should re-evaluate.

As good as Signal is for the average non-technical person, organizations with resources would be far better served by hosting their own, using something like XMPP with encryption, with servers only permitting connection from their own compiled clients, run in a container on the phone, which have been available since at least 2010.

No business I've worked for would accept Signal as a solution, in part because you have little control over it.

It was a worry long before.

Trek started going downhill after TNG.

At least DS9 tried to maintain the "morality play" idea while expanding into a larger-world concept.

Then Enterprise struck, with the "gotta fill the back story for all the kids who just can't stand to not know all the details of how it started".

This concept/approach has killed so much stuff in the last 20 years.

Signal has already said they'd "leave Sweden first".

But what does that mean today, when the Internet is non-local, and I can run my own VPN with Wireguard or Tailscale?
