I've said it a lot: Nobody is coming to save us. We can only save ourselves.

A lot of people forget that Google was once the anti-Microsoft. They were the good guys until they stopped being the good guys.

I looked into telegram and signal before deciding upon other technologies, and I could see both of them becoming a weak link in a communication chain based on their ultimately centralized nature.
