There you have your solution Idaxit! Leave the US, split the state and rejoin the union (US) in case you still feel like.
...or maybe don't and just use the chance and bring your legislative and judiciary into the 20th century. You will be still a ahead of the then neighbouring US at least by a century. Maybe even other states feel to follow the lead. I've heard Florida is always easy to convince for such a move; maybe skip the war declaration this time. ;-)
Disclosure: I have no clue about the underlying political/"cultural" differences of Idaho in contrast to the rest of the states...or Florida for this matter.
I agree but I'm confused how you can use Signal in the same sentence then.
Reminds me at duckduckgo: makes claims and builds big branding about security but nobody (including me) ever questioned them. (Regarding article not at hand but of course also on HN.)
The first question I would ask: how does Signal finances itself when the service is practically "free"...
For the rest I totally agree: I could also convince some for XMPP/Jabber while at the same time it lets me question my relationship to those I couldn't move. I mean it's not that these days you couldn't install a second app if you already have 50 useless i.e. "coupon" apps installed anyway.
Though I really like the idea of having some backup infrastructure already for those discussed simple cases like (top comment for example): car broke down and you..
.. forgot your mobile
.. out of battery
.. out of "credit" (in case of prepaid)
.. cuz you got robbed
.. cuz you got raped....(!)
.. cuz you lost your fingertips and can't operate a touch display anymore..
.. possibilties are hopefully rare but endless but you're just in whatever emergency at 3 am and really need a to make a call!
But just for curiosity, whom/where you wanna call in 2022++ in case of overloaded networks like Sep. 11th in 2001. At least I didn't even "own" (actually set-up) my landline anymore.
Welcome to MMXXII. About X centuries ago "we" imported the Hindu-Arabic numerals. I know, Latin numbers carry the myth of being more "safe" but really you should try the arabian numerals. They revolutionized math and eased reading text alongside.
thumbs-up
