When Signal was designed, our threat model was protecting the communications of civil society, journalists, just regular citizens ...

The threat model of military operations & sharing your hate of Europeans was not what Signal was designed for. Ephemeral messages and cryptographic deniability are not fit for communications that require accountability.

Dear American friends, I know for a fact that many of you were as horrified as I was over the shameless display BLOATUS put on in the Oval Office yesterday.
I decided this morning that rather than seethe about it, I'd do something meaningful with my anger.

Due to rising costs, I'll be adjusting the prices of my game assets. This helps maintain quality and allows me to continue creating content. There'll be a 10% price increase, making the new price... well, still $0 I guess. Thank you for understanding.
