  • While passing on american products in general is a good thing, not all products are equal. Signal is far better for privacy than anything in europe currently. Until there is a good option, supporting an open source non-profit company won’t give the US any profits from your usage. And that’s what really counts. To be honest, signal is the only safe system currently. What makes it unsafe is proprietary software on the clients it’s being used on like IOS or whatever android branch it’s used on.

    We really should have something, especially as privacy in europe is really in danger with the chatcontrol agenda. We need both an operating system, and safe communication made in europe, and even more importantly, EU legislation that prevents things like chatcontrol even to be considered.


  • I’ve been there twice, first time during 2008 and the security was crazy. Had homeland security already doing background check in the airport at the checkin counter, and while there i had two “VIP” searches due to connecting flights. Next time was just a few months ago, was scared they’d do some nasty searches and checks again but this time it was far more pleasant, signed a form on the internet, although it cost a bit, everything went smootly. I was suprised that the traveling was like going to all other places. The people are great, the food is great and really an overall great experience.

    I will NOT set my foot there again as long as Trump is in power and really, i was scared to say anything on the internet before going because he’d already won the election which is quite telling but since biden was still running things i felt safe taking my electronics. Now i doubt they’ll ever let me back in 😂
