  • This has nothing to do with Signalgate directly, except that it affects some of the same Trump officials.

    Furthermore, the main concerns about Signalgate isn’t Signal’s security. While we can obviously never fully rule out that Signal could be compromised, there are many other ways the chat could get compromised:

    1. Someone’s Signal account could get compromised if someone else steals or guesses the password (like in the Spiegel article).
    2. Some unauthorized person could accidentally get invited to the chat (for example a journalist from the Atlantic).
    3. One of the phones could get hacked. (This is likely to happen if someone takes their phone to Russia.)

    Additionally, Signal was used to avoid any records of what was discussed.










  • This map is not about a nation’s word for Thursday but about the word in different languages. Austria for example isn’t labelled with any word because Austrians speak German and the German word for Thursday is already placed in Germany. The English word Thursday is placed in England, its most logical location. The Gaelic word for Thursday meanwhile is placed in Scotland, its most logical place. This doesn’t imply that the majority of Scottish people speak Gaelic, only that Scotland is the country with the highest number of Gaelic speakers while England has the highest number of English speakers in Europe.
