All of Telegram's Lies About Privacy

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Signal
Yeah, the glaring problem of having to share your phone number is gone too:

They still don’t have backups on iOS which is a deal-breaker for me.
Why would you use iOS if you care about privacy?
Because it’s far better for privacy than any Google-Play-Services-ridden version of Android, and sometimes in life you don’t want to have to deal with custom ROMs anymore.
But also that’s an exceptionally dumb question, because the implication is that privacy can’t matter to people who don’t go to the same precise lengths someone else does.
Honestly, my problems with Apple go beyond just the privacy issues.
Fair enough, Apple has some pretty fucking terrible anti-consumer behavior. Privacy is just one of the few things they do well.
After Signal's lie about dropping SMS support because of "engineering costs", I really can't believe anything else they say.
Plus the app experience sucks, it's no better than SMS.
Are you talking about the signal from five years ago or something?
That's not true, but even so, the whole point is to be an alternative to SMS. It provides that experience, so I'm happy.
I couldnt find a working Ubuntu touch app last i tried to use it
Ubuntu touch is dead. Are there at least native browsers for it?
Is it? I still get regular updates. Yes there are a few, i use Morph
https://www.ubuntu-touch.io/
For some reason, I thought Ubuntu touch was EOL. Probably because I tried it on a Redmi 5 and it was an unofficial 2018 build. Is the Morph browser still supported? I checked the Github page and the last changes were 3 years ago.
