Are you suggesting to add to your total blood volume 2% of acid 3 times per day?

I suggest trying telegram. While it asks for phone number, that is just unique login id, and you have option to not share it. Security for groups is not on same level with Signal, but for personal messages you can use end to end encryption, and it's easy to use

It's just a login id, get a throwaway number if you need more security. You can use it without revealing your number to anyone

On the opposite, telegram client is not bloated, it is one of the few apps that i find is done right, and very lightweight. Even linux desktop version.
As for phone number - it's only used as login id (unless you intentionally share it with someone), you can use it for years, without anyone knowing your phone number. Also, it is not intended to replace signal, or be more secure, it's designed with reasonable security for the masses. And as comment below says - you still need phone number for signal

Why would you ever want to encrypt stickers?

While I agree that building strong encryption into base system is good, and having stickers is good - it is simply not worth the development effort to encrypt stickers.

Compared to Telegram - they have strong 1-on-1 encryption, while groups are only device to server encrypted, i wish for something intermediate to exist - group encryption, while having authorized (encrypted) bot API should be better work direction.
Also don't underestimate the look and feel of native client. Much better to focus development on having native lightweight client (again, look at Telegram, it's amazing) - and you will get large userbase, even without having encrypted stickers.

I thought they were already doing that, just with beer names.
Next virus should be called Duff virus

I constantly click and select text while reading. Do i have rage issues? I usually notice rage, only if website starts opening some popups on my clicks

Then slashdot would be https://org.slashdot/ which wouldn't make any sense. We would probably be reading alternate site https://org.dotslash/ which again looses part meaning

While it negates some of logging and access control, there are valid use cases for it.
If i need to test multiple commands involving long similarly looking filenames, i use mc, which allows faster filename copying, and generally is much more comfortable than pure shell. Sorry, but i don't want to TAB-complete for 20 pages of filenames, mc provides me that way easier.

Good luck trying that in europe. The moment you approach country airspace with disabled transponder, you will be greeted with 2 fighter jets.
Russians have tendency to do that, perhaps they have some really low quality transponders that break often.

There is very big difference - Japan is near ocean, and has tsunamis and earthquakes, while germany has none.

MicroB was terrible design, as i am harsh with my equipment, i was basically changing cables every 2 weeks, and port of the phone at least every 3 months (constant charging on the go, and usually getting cable stuck in door). USB-C is huge improvement - in 2 years i have 2 cables that are not good for data anymore, but still good for charging, no broken ports.

Nobody forbids apple making C connectors from titanium/gold. If one manufacturer starts doing that, several will follow

There is loss/benefit ratio for both options, but i agree that having universal charger for all phones would benefit users in long term.
Of course concern about innovation is perfectly valid, and law should have expiration date when EU should review new proposed standards and adopt new if there is improvement

You can't exactly scan data sent by proprietary protocols like whatsapp.

If devices are intended for LAN, they should be safe to work on internet, and have reasonable security. There are very few LANs that are not connected to internet.
Telenet over USB is not the issue here, it is just serial terminal - so that example is irrelevant.
