  • Didn’t have time yet to watch all of the video, but on my own GrapheneOS device, and assume especially useful on tablets, I have been using Molly for Signal messaging.

    Its cool because I can use an existing account (already attached to a phone number) so the device doesn’t require a SIM. The normal Signal app does not support this.

    Unfortunately at the moment I am having to use “Molly” not “Molly FOSS”, meaning I have some of the proprietary blobs in normal Signal app. It is currently too much hassle (for me) to setup notifications with the FOSS version.


  • Interesting argument. I have used both typescript and JavaScript, but I spend 99% of my time writing firmware in C, because of this I LOVE strongly typed languages, and I get kinda annoyed/paranoid when my variable COULD change type quietly so end up doing (perhaps too much) type checks etc.

    I can say with surety I hate programming in both Typescript and JavaScript, but I definitely hate Typescript less because of the typing.

    Having said that, I don’t really like the compiled javascript that comes out of the typescript compiler, because it puts some distance between the user and the code and I am all for clarity, especially when people have to go out of their way to not run this code.
