It is an American company, therefore bound to US law, which means NSA involvement, which means guaranteed backdoors to encryption.
That’s a very strong assertion and, given an open-source client and a documented protocol, one that is very easy to prove if true. So I presume you can point at what, in the Signal protocol, is a backdoor in the encryption.

I just wanted to say: it's great seeing the first screenshot on macOS, and thank you all for making the effort to create great cross-platform software.
It's far easier to convince someone to move to a different OS if all of their existing apps work. Replacing each program that they depend on one at a time can be done slowly, over multiple years, and at some point you realise that you're not locked into an OS at all.

I was never excited by VR because I’m in the 10-20% of the population that uses some of the visual cues for depth that VR doesn’t mimic and so gets motion sick.
I was excited by AR. The technology is almost good enough to be useful. It’s currently at the stage smartphones were when I owned a Nokia N80: not actually useful, but you can see the potential. But, for it to actually be useful, it needs to be designed with private as the number one requirement and that’s not something I’d trust big tech to do, so I don’t see the interesting use cases appearing any time soon.
Machines that confidently generate wrong answers? I’ve dealt with enough humans like that to not want to see it automated.
