There's zero evidence the Spanish power outage was caused by a cyber attack, that's just fear mongering.

That's true, I was mostly speaking to that specific use-case. It certainly sounds like it has generally superior functionality to ls, but for me personally it doesn't beat out the utility of already being present on every linux system I'll touch.

That's unlike something like rsync which is genuinely more useful than scp for anything other than simple file transfers.

The default output of ls is uncolored, but some distros include an alias in your .bashrc for 'ls' to 'ls --color=auto', so you definitely don't need a whole other utility just for colored output

What a ridiculous response, the dye's link to cancer has been known for decades. The EU banned use of it in 1994, over thirty years ago, and its already banned in China and Japan. Trying to paint a government ban of a known carcinogen as "big daddy government running peoples lives" is pure idiocy.

It's something you wouldn't have a problem with until you sat down in a booth and suddenly your back is covered in some shirtless person's sweat.

You might think that but it's actually established parlance

This comment is honestly so telling. You're okay with Trump getting re-elected and sending even MORE weapons to Israel, just so long as you personally don't have to feel anything on your "conscience".

Sounds more driven by selfishness than actual compassion if you ask me.

This comment reads kind of weird, as if you feel personally snubbed that they "ignored" your concerns when in reality the app developers just had different ideas about what direction the app would go in.

Like, that's totally fine! At the end of the day if you were only interested in a replacement SMS app then Signal just wasn't for you. As someone whose primary interest is the security and privacy guaranteed by Signal not only encrypting messages but also message metadata (something Google's RCS explicitly does NOT do) I'm perfectly satisfied with how it functions.

That said, I don't care about stickers or the weird crypto integration, but it satisfies my other needs and includes a desktop client to boot, so I have nothing to complain about.
