The only way to preserve privacy while having a central and easy authentication mechanism I can think of is to use IndieAuth[0] which is built on top of OAuth 2.0.

Of course, you will need to be your own provider, using an IndieAuth provider service defeats the purpose, which is what I see most IndieWeb devs are doing.

You will need to own a (sub)domain though.

We can have a small community somewhere, but people who search for niche things should find them -- which used to be search engines after the .com boom and the burst. Now we are back to the small forms again, which is lacking the reach because--- new people can't reach the forms as they can't find them in the first place.

If someone new to the internet find the website, then nothing else matters.

- People using the search console see the drop

- Product owners scratch their head

- Investors backing out because not having many visitors

- Small bloggers adding more ads because their revenue is dropping

- Sponsors backing out from their blogs because it's loosing more visitors

- Small web crumbling

- People google what is happening

- Google says 'The "small web"—independent blogs, personal forums, and niche websites—is disappearing due to corporate consolidation, aggressive AI-driven search indexing, and high maintenance costs. These factors have pushed independent creators onto walled-garden social media apps, leaving personal websites to suffer from "link rot".'

Content is the main body of the article (press tab ones you land the page, it will take you to the main content if you don't know what that is), which contains only one Acronym, “SC 3.1.4” → which is a link that take you to a place with its definition. I don't understand what you are fighting over. But I'm not going to reply more to someone who defends people who do not know how to write articles that are more friendly towards the reader.

Not having the system (it's not like it's already in use anyway) is always a good step in the right direction. And a replacement built-in UK will provide more jobs, more tax money, and digital sovereignty for UK.

> Money is anonymous.

Unless you pay in cash (or some cryptocurrency that doesn't leave traces), money is not anonymous. Not sure what made you make that claim.

> Why would they have some kind of pipeline account that goes directly from the fees to political spend?

Is the pipeline account you mention here the delivery company's account?

> This is like claiming someone set up a special account where all their paychecks on rainy days get spent directly on weed. It makes zero sense.

Pretty sure that already happens, that's one of many ways to do tax evasion with offshore accounts.

You don't need to know the account or account number, just need to know the transaction logic, which most backend developer will know of as long as they work in that area.

If the product managers keep boasting about their new strategy (which I have seen in almost all companies I have worked for), even the juniors will know what's going on.

But, RMS is known to be socially awkward, the same goes for many autistic individuals. It's just that he doesn't mask and comes out as “rude”. If send an e-mail, he will usually take his time to write down a succinct response.

There are a few reasons for that.

1. The link to APK cannot be found on the official site[0], so it needs to be looked up in a search engine.

2. Even when downloading from the site, they try to scare you away with a warning [1]. The reason for warning could be avoided by hosting their own F-droid repo, but they refused it, claiming you can download APK and not listening to reason[2].

Though for people using F-droid can still get Signal through the Guardian repository [3]

Thing about the signal APK and the Guardian one is that, it still have the so called "crap" in the final APK, it just runs a background service when required google services are not detected, causing battery drain for many[4].

The drain could also be avoided by supporting UnifiedPush (it can fall back to FCM when it's detected), but they don't want to do that either[5].
