Session provides protections against these types of threats in other ways — through fully anonymous account creation, onion routing, and metadata minimisation, for example.
There's a few clients for Signal, nobody is preventing developers from creating apps; there's Molly, gurk-rs, Axolotl, Flare, signal-cli, Pidgin (with the Signal plugin.
The problem is 3rd party clients don't implement all features because it takes a lot of work and they're created/developed by volunteers - just take a look at Matrix and how many clients support all features or even just group end-to-end encryption (E2EE). Last I checked many third party Matrix clients didn't support encrypted group messages, primarily just Element, the reference client built by the matrix developers. So you have the same problem on Signal that you have on Matrix.
Never forget: The second-largest egg producer in the country - a family farming company of a Republican candidate for the US Senate- was found liable to fix the price of eggs.
Censorship-resistant peer-to-peer messaging that bypasses centralized servers. Connect via Bluetooth, Wi-Fi or Tor, with privacy built-in.
I think the reason these apps don't take off is the compromises they make in order to work the way they do. When you do need them, you best hope you're able to get them and get others to use them as well.
For women in Texas, a new study says you're getting the short end of the stick. WalletHub ranked Texas among the five worst states for women to live in, with its study released Monday, February 26.

Correct me if I'm wrong but does FOSS not simply mean the following?
software that is available under a license that grants the right to use, modify, and distribute the software, modified or not, to everyone free of charge

From my understanding AOSP's license grants all those rights. I think what you might be opposed to is that it isn't developed out in the open, which is a fair criticism.
Firefox is not doing well, and greedy CEO's are not helping the cause. I wish they'd take a playbook from Nintendo's leadership, show they really back the product, and take a pay cut to help the cause.
I can't imaging the CEO being significantly impacted if they had to go from $6,700,000 per year to $3,350,000 and could single-handedly save at least 10 engineers at $300,000+ each to continue to work on core features and guarantee long-term success.
Nintendo's Satoru Iwata on layoffs:
If we reduce the number of employees for better short-term financial results, employee morale will decrease, and I sincerely doubt employees who fear that they may be laid off will be able to develop software titles that could impress people around the world
out of the loop since I've moved to debian and been using flatpak for the last few years, what software are you installing via PPA that isn't generally available via flatpak?
