Why do you want them to switch from Signal? Federation? Other than that Signal's great. Idk specifically about Signal bridge but I'm in a room with Telegram and IRC bridged and both bridges work pretty well. The room was bridged to XMPP as well but XMPP bridge was weird (resent random messages sometimes) so we removed it. Give it a try though and if possible tell me how it works? I'm curious :p

Yes I do that when I can! It's super convenient with the map editing plugin. I probably wouldn't contribute if it didn't exist xD.

I'll check out street complete thanks!

EU's Digital Markets Act might interest you :p

What did you find confusing about Element? The most confusing part for most people is the federation but since you're on Lemmy, I assume that's not the case for you.

Running de-googled Lineage OS (Android 10 equivalent version). Biggest drawback for me is maps. I make do with OSMAnd+ but I have to search on Google Maps, get the coordinates and paste into OSMAnd+. Other than that no issues

You should read about EU's proposed law DMA. It aims to solve this problem of not being able to contact friends if you uninstall WhatsApp (or any other app). The link explains it better lol

Okay thanks! I thought it meant INR would be legal tender there.

I checked network logs. Apparently my bank encrypts both uid and password before sending. I put 8 chars and it gave error so I'm assuming no

Banks make the worst possible UI and justify it by saying "security" xD

Wtf lmao. How to I check if mine does it💀

This is one of the dumbest shit ngl. My bank also does this. However they go one step further. They force a maximum 12 letter password and 1 character of each type (capital, small, number, symbol) is necessary. This actively reduces password security smh

Yeah now that you put it this way I realised my mistake. Thanks
