When I moved into an apartment junior year of college, 1995, I figured out the phone number could be remembered as "OJ YAWNS" and my friends never forgave me for that. #GenXProblems #PhoneNumbers
TIL that 1-555-01XX is reserved for test phone numbers, aka the example.com of phone numbers. I was almost tempted to use 1-900-490-FREAK before learning this.

@elr @neurovagrant @Seirdy because #Signal can't be #SelfHosted (unlike #XMPP and even #Zulip) I can't recommend or use it any professional capacity because I've to comply with #GDPR & #BDSG and that includes evidently having control over data and being able to comply with #auditability and #datadeletion requests in any organization.
Also #Signal does collect #PhoneNumbers and enforces #Cyberfacist embargos.

@ff0000 I have #radicale installed on a machine at home, and the phone, laptop, etc sync to it when I'm at home in the lan. For #contacts and my #calendars.
It's #caldav/#carddav, so pretty platform agnostic I guess (I don't know about #ios stuff, but #linux / #android is really smooth)

I'm reading Are Gen Z, Millennials and scammers killing off the humble phone call? via the Canberra Times app https://www.canberratimes.com.au/story/8068559/
True, this. One issue she doesnât address is the annoying policy of some businesses & almost all government departments having âcaller unknownâ as their number, which is also popular with scammers. That wastes a lot of time as I donât answer unless I know itâs a real number

@dcz good advice. i do something similar already, still email is insecure. In general, we really shouldn't have to do this just to use services. I would say the same can go for #phonenumbers - they need to die too

The penalty was issued in response to the leak of 533 million #Facebook users' data reported in April last year. That included #phonenumbers, #birthdates, #email addresses and #locations, information that could be exploited in #phishing and other attacks https://www.engadget.com/meta-fined-265-million-euros-over-data-scraping-142937633.html?src=rss

I really wish #Signal would move their servers out of america and stop using #PhoneNumbers for registration. #MollyIM (signal #fork) is trying to set up their own signal like service that doesn't need a phone number but would use a pseudonum-like system for identification. @session does something a bit similar, and the #XMPP server I use doesn't require an #Email-ID either.

True. This also means that if you're banned, you can't sign up again, and you can't make alt accounts either.
@realcaseyrollins
Signal does claim to be open but if memory serves, build is not-reproducible and #phoneNumbers as identifiers make it a poor choice, in our estimation, there are other #XMPP with #DoubleRatchet/#OMEMO.
The reason many clamour to get high on a broken ladder is unlikely to be explained in clear or encrypted text. That's what #subtext is for.
