Signal is good, this interview is good, and this photographer is good because they made Meredith look like PJ Harvey.

Signal Is More Than Encrypted Messaging. Under Meredith Whittaker, It’s Out to Prove Surveillance Capitalism Wrong

On its 10th anniversary, Signal’s president wants to remind you that the world’s most secure communications platform is a nonprofit. It’s free. It doesn’t track you or serve you ads. It pays its engineers very well. And it’s a go-to app for hundreds of millions of people.

@evacide Signal is good, really good, but it isn't great, not yet. Some things don't just work, at least not in my own experience.

Video calling is shockingly bad still, audio is hit or miss in it, but usually miss.

Messages sometimes don't send, and I've been told a few times that messages that have been sent to me just never make it. I'm not using another proxy or anything, just default install.

On the whole it's my preferred solution, but it can't be my only solution, not yet.
