Except sometimes you can’t not use the service.

It’s completely unreasonable to expect people to quit their job just because they disagree with the terms and conditions of a single piece of software they’re required to use for work. If that service is collecting their data, there’s basically nothing they can do about it.

Because they have unfathomably ridiculous amounts of money that they spend on lobbying (read: bribery) so that they stay not responsible.

It’s so beautifully human that decades of scientific innovation paved the way for this technology, only for us to use it to look at boobs.

Signal doesn’t trust messages server side.

first they had machine code
then they wrote the assembler in machine code
then they rewrote the assembler in assembly
and assembled it with the machine code assembler
then they wrote the C compiler in assembly
and assembled it with the assembly assembler
then they rewrote the C compiler in C
and compiled it with the assembly C compiler
then they had the C compiler
and everything else was written in C

(note: this is a massive oversimplification and ignores much of the history of programming languages, but it at least gets across the idea of how bootstrapping is done)
