Me too and I used my tuta email address as my email for bitwarden. If I had forgotten my password then good night. Back when I created an account they didnt have a popup telling you about 6 month deletions, my email was just gone some day.
8gb of DD3 ram, 1.1ghz 4c/4t CPU from 2016. Many people who buy this will have it for at least five years. This is what the average computer experience looks like, just imagine how windows runs on this.
so many people I've gotten to switch to signal have asked me about them discontinuing SMS support. my family members aren't going to keep using signal just to message a few others, when the majority still use text.
The stance of Signal is insulting to anyone who lobbied to friends and family for them. In addition to making us look like idiots, when they kill the feature it is very likely that we will be called to the rescue, because the Signal archived SMS messages will dissapear.
As a growing company, I don't know how they expect to get away by alienating their staunch userbase. Even Meta made concessions when Whatsapp userbase revolted against upcoming changes.
In the meantime, Google have revamped their messages app, which of course continues to support SMS.
They did same when they forced people into PIN code they didn't want with full screen or 1/3 screen unremovable nag message until you created PIN, it took them about week or two before they backpedalled from forcing it without option to opt out, but it was too late for me and my extended family, we all uninstalled this POS app.
Just for fun now I installed it to use as my default SMS app after this whole hullabaloo with SMS removal, I use Johann's fork, so I am just curious how long it will keep working as Signal messenger with no APK expiration. Though I am definitely not telling anyone I am using it, tried to isntall it on wife's phone, never received verifying message or phone call, no matter how much I tried and mind she has the regular phone with almost stock ROM, while I use Lineage with no gapps.
I will ditch it in a second, if there will be other IM with SMS support other than Facebook Messenger and Skype (Lite), ideally some Matrix client with SMS support, that I could promote even to my family.
This is surprisingly hard to explain off the cuff. In DNS, zones are separated by dots, and a fully-qualified domain name ends in a dot. The zones exist because there are too many domains for just one server to handle and this way zones can be distributed and managed separately. DNS queries right to left, for “Google.com.” it would look at “.” and query the root servers asking if they know “Google.com.”, they could reply saying ask “.com.” at this IP. Then the .com. servers look up Google.com. and (eventually, there’s one more lookup for a Google server) return its IP address. Google.com. loads in your browser because an A record is returned by a Google name server. “ai.” is an A record returned by the name server for .ai, as registered in the root DNS servers. Similarly, Verisign could register an A record for .com. But they haven’t... um... Google for how DNS works for a more thorough and perhaps animated example.

Though that's not really true in practice. Com hasn't exploded under the amount of traffic it faces, and merging in the other zones would only be about twice the load.
Com only handles the NS records and glue records for its direct descendants though. If there were no zones below com, its nameservers would melt from the update requests alone.
