This isn’t a logo. It’s a cry for help from a severely distressed mind.

I got curious and did the math if $44B was denominated in $100 bills.
That’s 496.85 cubic kilometers of cash. Or a pile of money that covers half of the continental US, stacked 1/4 of the height of Low Earth Orbit.
I honestly don’t think one could physically burn that much cash since May 2022 in real life.
Edit: more mind bogglery!
The earth is ~40,000 km in circumference, so you could stack the bills almost 28m high around the equator (or circle the globe 256,482 times.)
I love revisiting comments like these every 4 years.
Are you saying “crassholes” or “assholes”
Then why are they even still there?
Sunk cost fallacy or misplaced hope are other options outside of Napoleon complex.
Indeed.
It’s a very basic trade that it seems few understand. You MUST trade a bit of convenience to increase your security, or mistakes will happen.
I recognize you’re probably not the original commenter, but this is the same flavor of strawman.
App is app. Other app is other app.
In one app, it was possible to send both SMS and encrypted messages. In the other, just SMS.
I don’t feel that it’s me being intentionally dense here because, again, you’ve concocted an irrelevant scenario to argue your tenuous position - which I already agreed is possible, but irrelevant in this context.

Appreciate the heads up on session.
Not doubting that pushy idiots are going to pushy idiot, but I think you’ve strawmanned the actual reason hard enough.
Most people who want it back don’t need, want, or understand why secure messaging exists.
Here’s the simple facts:
SMS is not secure, or private.
Signal is for secure, private comms.
As mildly inconvenient as it is, Signal explained their reasoning in great detail, and I happen to agree: There should never have been an insecure option on a secure messaging app.
No. I already fucked reddit, thanks.
It was for the music in a linked game download, and owner decided to close up shop.
Sys admins are already worked to death, so anything that can be done to simplify makes perfect sense.
Especially on mobile. News sites are legit impossible to use, let alone tolerate.
Which is why it boggles my mind that every company I have worked for uses it as the stock alternative to Edge over Firefox.
I vaguely recall that they received a takedown notice.
Bingo. Enshittification is mostly confined to companies that have gone public or whose sole aspiration is to do so quickly.
It shifts responsibility from satisfying customers/users to satisfying shareholders (who are never satisfied).
You can build the perfect product and ride a gravy train as a private company in perpetuity. As a corporation, you’re just going to strive for perpetually increasing profits on a quarterly basis with no real loans for the future.
Can’t just have a royal rumble. You’re going to need to iterate ALL of the flavors into factions if you want a war.
I vote everyone vs Arch (btw)
