@signalapp hello there 👋
It'd be great if you consider alternative options for authorization in the app, rather than relying solely on SMS. In Russia, obtaining a code via SMS is impossible, even with a proxy. However, a few other services have introduced the option of receiving it via email.
Over the holidays, I wanted to make it easier for me to get to my saved credits cards on my iPhone, iPad, and Mac for looking up card information or copying and pasting, so I wrote a small shortcut. https://rmondello.com/credit-cards-shortcut/

It handles these cases:
OSes 26: Opens Wallet settings > AutoFill Cards
iOS <26: Opens Safari settings > AutoFill > Saved Credit Cards
macOS <26: Opens Safari > Settings > AutoFill > Credit Cards (requires “Allow Running Scripts” only for macOS <26 to work)
Please feel free to repost or share this to people you think will appreciate it, but please don’t put “Ricky Mondello” into a headline or anything. This isn’t newsworthy; it’s just a small shortcut. :)

(Doesn’t have an RFC number yet but has been approved, will get one in a few weeks.)
This specification defines the QUERY method for HTTP. A QUERY requests that the request target process the enclosed content in a safe and idempotent manner and then respond with the result of that processing. This is similar to POST requests but can be automatically repeated or restarted without concern for partial state changes.
