If Chromebooks are anything to go by, if google had their way you'd only be allowed to search prescreened questions they think are best for you. Can't have you experiencing anything not advertiser friendly.

Yea, I couldn't tell you the specifics. I know new members of group chats don't see any previous messages. I think it might re-negotiate the keys every time someone is added. It's probably not meant to scale up to very large groups (tho I've never tried), but I've noticed no issues in 25ish people chats.

It works about the same as any other app's group invite link. It can be set to automatically add the person or be treated as a request to join that needs approval.

Thanks for the detailed reply. Signal does have location sharing and invite links, FWIW.

What polish and features is signal missing?

Yea this is a very worrisome denial.

All good points. The main takeaway here should really be about what this particular breakthrough offers, which is an abundant, more environmentally-friendly source material that could be used to replaceLi-Ion in a lot of use cases. And maybe most/all uses with its own improvements over time.

Fair enough. Happy May Day.

I did give it a knee-jerk reaction, true. I've since had my morning tea and am mostly just wondering what you get out of yelling at people on the internet. Not that I don't occasionally do the same. Maybe I'm asking you to better understand myself.

Honestly I looked at your comments and they're all just aggressive, and I was genuinely wondering why. You're not trying to share info, and you're not trying to convince anyone of anything. What's the point? Is this helpful to you? It just seems like you're upsetting yourself.

EDIT: Actually, I take that back partially. You are sharing links. On my mobile app I only saw your comments, not your posts.
