You still need phone number verification to create an account, that hasn't changed

That was interesting how they adjusted sizes based on adjacent letters. Good idea

You can compile the infinity APK yourself with your own free API key and continue to use it. There are guides and automated scripts available that can do this for you.

Suspicious stew...

Oh no, some people won't take a side because they think things are complex and they don't understand enough.

Oh no.

This is a well known issue for a lot of people and signal has been promising to fix this for years. Using a phone # for verification reduces spam and bot accounts, but like you said it drastically reduces anonymity.

That said, anonymity != privacy. You could anonymously place a note on a car telling the owner to learn to park, but it's not private since anyone walking by could read it. Likewise you can send an encrypted signal message to another user who knows who you are, so it's private, but not anonymous.

Yeah they really buried the lede here. The big news is the claim that they can sell cultured carrot cells for cheaper than grown carrots. The 3D printing part is besides the point.

Also the carrot shape isn't really ideal for cooking. Annoying to split into smaller pieces. If you have the freedom to print it in any shape then I'd take big blocks personally. Much easier to stack, store and cut into arbitrary shapes for cooking. Molds definitely seem like a better idea for mass production than slow 3D printing.

What you have to understand is that often a conversation is not really about whatever the topic is. Conversation is like a game and the goal isn't to win, but rather to play a good game with other people. If you keep blabbing on and on about the topic without letting other people play then you're ruining the game.

That's called hearsay.
