Nope. It's not "attacking own user base". These comments are ridiculous now. It's safeguarding a open project by removing scammers and abusers that exploit it. Scammer should host their own or use github.

Are these comments written buy bots? It's the mainstream ones that have been screwing people without any recovery options, there were many horrifying top posts in hn itself in last few years.

"it is impossible to hide malware in open-source software"

No nobody said "exactly that". But many times I've seen people claiming to trust open source as it is safer and people can check and build themselves. Seen it too many times. But reality is different than what is claimed.

But you will associate maskot or picture of any movement to annoying people when more people used it.

You would do this for any profile picture that everyone will use. People here just don't like any movement as they are supporter of corporate. They are either multi-millionaires or temporary embarrassed millionaires. They will make every movement including unions negative.

Then signal must be very insecure, poorly coded app in first place, that needs to updated every or every other day. They also don't give any explanation of what that updates are.

Meh! Practical result matters not papers. Everything done in paper. What I've seen in India is trees are planted with publicity, photos, but are not take care of and dies, another program starts and plants thousands of trees, dies within a year, circle goes round. Otherhand seeing many hills destroyed for construction needs.

The number of planted tree grows but benefit not seen, except for the group doing it. People are too into feelings, by seeing the headlines they need to feel good that's why so much publicity is needed, so many banners everywhere, ads in news-paper spending billions by gov.

This is just an excuse. There needs to be a hard english sub and then keep other languages can be single video with different text file. Deleting 80% good things only to keep other 20% happy should not be an excuse.

Only english is the most popular and just keep it. Most of the good hard subs are made for english and that is what people want.

Various allergies are a decently big thing in many parts of the world

Maybe we live in bubbles.

I am from Asia. I have only seen people need to be taken to emergency hospital in American tv shows for any allergies. Here I've never seen it in my whole life and didn't even know allergy can be this dangerous. We don't have peanut allergy too. First time even I saw it in TV, I was very confused.

Allergies do exists here, but "not to the extent" like what I've seen in American TV shows or heard online.

Only thing I remember is people need to take medicine for to allergy from venomous caterpillar hairs, they mistakenly touched those. And stung by honey bees, wasp etc.

I only use ff on windows. No issue. I do have premium. May be adblocking YT is broken. I have ublock turned on too, but no issue.

Wow, Americans will support anything for a company. The mental gymnastics is absurd for love of the corporates.

Palantir is doing in reality, not someone else. So come to reality and say who is evil in reality not in some hypothetical world.

If another company does it in future then say that company is evil when that actually happens.

It's very simple. But immoral people will think too hard to make things complex to support a immoral company.

If a company is so small and weak that they can't support GDPR etc., then that company should not exist.

I don't care about any companies like Americans do with American business centric laws that hurts normal people. Life isn't about lowest price at any cost model. Buy from china (as everyone is doing but try to hide it) if you want low cost. I don't give a damn if all those companies die for not complying GDPR, fuck them.
