Vorbild Skandinavien [...] Manche möchten wohl auch deshalb teilweise arbeiten, um die eigenen Lohnverluste zu begrenzen.

Tolles Vorbild. Und ein Schlaglicht darauf, um was es eigentlich geht. Angst und Ausbeutung.

Signal forks can have unexpected behaviours like retaining deleted messages and also they don’t get updated at the same rate that Signal get updated.

There are ways to save messages before they are deleted even if the stock app is used. Do not ever rely on this feature to work in a "safe" way.

Every couple of years I hear a story about hackers disturbing signal with backdoors, which would be impossible or very hard to be done If they blocked third party clients. (Ex: 1)

That is a problem the users who prefer 3rd party clients have to deal with. Obviously if you care enough to not use the official build, you of cause have to take care of using a trustworthy source. That is not "your problem" though.

The amount of people who use third party Signal clients are very few anyway.

That sounds a lot like "I don't use it, so none else needs it either" argument. In my opinion, none of your arguments above are a good reason to combat 3rd party clients.

Not in all situations. And in a way a user will not be aware of. The service or website can define what type of passkey is allowed (based in attestation). You may not be able to acutally use your "movable" keys because someone else decided so. You will not notice this until you actually face such a service. And when that happens, you can be sure that the average user will not understand what ia going on. Not all passkeys are equal, but that fact is hidden from the user.

In addition, Huawei now blocks sideloading Android apps to promote its ecosystem growth.

Well looks like I'm never going to get a device from this manufacturer then.

Du hast natürlich völlig recht, bei Diebstahl geht das Diebesgut ja bekanntlich in den Besitz des Diebes über. Bei verschlossenen Türen kann man ebenfalls nichts machen. Schade um das schöne Rad dann.

Die Angabe gehört direkt mit aufs Preisschild. Dass man für jedes Modell eine Webrecherche starten muss, um dieses essentielle Detail herauszufinden ist eine Frechheit. Musste damals beim Kauf meines Bikes lange suchen, am Ende waren nur zwei Bikehersteller übrig die a) überhaupt Angaben gemacht haben und b) dann auch wirklich mehr als 120kg hatten.

Anstatt sich mit der Versicherungswirtschaft oder der untätigen Exekutive auseinanderzusetzen sollte man heutzutage lieber selbst sein Recht durchsetzten. GPS und Bluetooth machen es möglich.

Sad to see Mozilla being managed into the ground, betraying their principles and selling their users.

That is not entirely correct. The reported found the app using permissions that are not covered by the manifest. It also found the app being capable to execute arbitrary code send by temu. So it cannot be clearly answered if the app can utilize these permissions or not. Obviously they would not ship such an exploit with the app directly.

This is your best option. I did do movie nights with friends during the pandemic in a similar way, but I used OBS Studio to create the stream and Monaserver to stream it to all users. I did not know VLC can handle the streaming to users directly, making this dead simple to setup without additional software. You just need to know how to configure your router to allow the needed port forwarding.
