Re: "...only way we could find to install the Signal messenger..."
Obtanium will fetch and install Signal updates as well.
I keep F-Droid around, but mostly as a catalog.

This is the perfect time fir Vivaldi to change horses and base on Firefox or one of the hardened derivatives like IronFox or Fennec.
The result would have the plugin array of Firefox with the bookmark handling and UI of Vivaldi.
I don't think it's right to blame the victim here, as Google has clearly embraced being as vile and evil as possible. I'm thinking that gmail has given them enough kompromat to fend the regulators off from the sleigh, but the damned wolves keep changing with elections.
From another source...
"Another medic said Ramesh told him that immediately after the plane took off, it began descending and suddenly split in two, throwing him out before a loud explosion."
Composite airframe problem?
Agree that he's fortunate to be alive, and also that we're fortunate to hear about that splitting because he survived.
I agree with some of that; I don't get along with either WP or CP people and don't care about it.
I want a tool. Not joining the Hammer Assoc. because I want to pound nails.
Have several sites running CP converted from WP with no problems, but I had stopped upgrading after nicht-so-Gutenberg arose and the mental health concerns became more obvious, so my favored plugins are sometimes old and I kept my own repository, so I can use CPs plugin Upload feature to add the ones I like. Some of us have backups for some inexplicable reason or reasons.
At some point I'll either quit or move on, CP allows some procrastination.
So far everything else I've tried looks worse. All those plugins, self-updating, large enough community to populate -cons all over the globe, etc. make it hard to beat.
The one Molly White wrote for her own sites looks interesting and simple, but I haven't tried it.
Classic Press is a viable fork that the Reg ignores (despite Situation using WP itself in one of its spinoffs and therefore having a perfect opportunity to report on CP firsthand).
It started with using 4.9, the last WP version before Gutenberg, now uses current versions with that removed.
It uses WP plugins.
The community hired its own devs, has its own forum. Far as I kniw, it doesn't sell hosting, but I haven't delved.
While it's fashionable around here to dismiss people who use WP, it's been around a long time and some now have decades of personal IP on their site.
At the time (2003?) that Carthik made his post about its beginnings, and switching to it, the other big choice was Movable Type, which was not run well.
Matt possibly had issues back then, his site's subtitle was Unlucky at Cards, which I thought rang weird, success tends to magnify quirks.
I see Classic Press as the way out. It's straightforward, uses the same bones.
If someone wants to put down their dismissively ironic waving hand and provide a way out that's better, my gantlet is hereby thrown down.
Until then, CP works and it converts a WP site to CP with a plugin and a few minutes, bye Matt.
I want the equivalent of Little Snitch on my Android phone.
But I also recognise that even uBO can see where I surf, in order to work.
A new paradigm us needed all around, going beyond browsers, it can utilise fake user creds and be useless for data collection, yet display content.
We need to make the web useless to big tech, to shut them out from real humanity, their C-suites included.
Railroad in USA ran (might still) a car and engine tracking system for their entire system on Access. A disaster in my eyes, but they sold a copy to a Canadian railroad and I did well training their people to use it.
They had a row of techs in their center with big screens with multiple terminals running on them for "data quality", who were very busy lads. Every time anything didn't work IRL the floor manager typed DQ in entire columns and sent them off.
On Android, Fennec via FDroid is slightly hardened FF and IronFox continues the former Mull since its dev stopped. FF plugins work on them. For financial logins, etc.
Still use Vivaldi v1.x for unimportant logins like here and weather and misc chrome/blink reqs because it renders old Reddit better than 2.x for me.
The ship's builder has commented about its unsinkability and how no threatening incidents happened before Lynch owned it.
Some crew are under investigation.
Why?
Because there is an access door on the side that was "never" used but could foment fast ingress of water.
This is not an IT mag, but has more current coverage...

I find it interesting that The Reg is covering the civil damages case but not the current criminal cases.
"Without comment, the NTSB posted a 41-page document summarizing the findings of the Engineering Group formed to inspect the systems aboard the containership Dali which blacked out in March and destroyed Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key bridge. The report lists a few minor issues while also showing a loose cable found in the breaker system when tested in a simulation caused a brief blackout.
The NTSB notes that initial troubleshooting led to the Engineering Group narrowing its focus on the vessel’s electrical switchgear. The tests detailed in the report took place during April in four separate examination sessions.
The check of the wiring on the transformer and a relay found a “cable was loosely connected,” a condition which representatives from Hyundai informed could create an open circuit and interrupt the 110VDC power on the HV side of the board. According to the report, the engineers said it would trigger an under voltage release trip which would result in a 440V blackout.
After explaining the situation to the NTSB and the other participants, Hyundai conducted a simulation. When the engineers disconnected the cable, all the equipment powered by the Low Voltage (440V) Switchboard blacked out. These included lights throughout the vessel. The report says the system recovered making an automatic transfer and regained power after approximately 10 seconds.
The inspection and testing were conducted by a team of experts including representatives from the vessel’s owners Grace Ocean and operators Synergy Marine. HD Hyundai which built the vessel in 2015 participated in the four examinations in April along with ClassNK as the vessel’s class society and the Maritime & Port Authority of Singapore as the flag state.
No further analysis was provided on the results of the tests and the NTSB declined comment. Its teams are continuing their analysis. They are not expected to release a report until up to a year after the incident."

BOFH and PFY need a field trip aftet their office fire. Let's get them out thete to see if a Hyundai-made vessel can be stolen with a USB key.
