I think Textsecure[1], the predecessor of Signal, is even older (2010)

And Wikipeida also says that the first version of the Signal Protocol is from 2013[2]

So Telegram launched by about a month early, but the people behind Signal had released prior art earlier, and merely the protocol a few months later, but the Signal app didn't come out until 2015 according to Wikipedia.


While I agree that 1.7k issues are a lot, also keep in mind that there are 9.6k closed issues and they are bugs and feature requests over 11 years that never get closed as there might be someone else coming across some feature request one day who wants to implement it.


Fun fact that should be point out: Most of those issues and pr’s comes from core team members. There is almost no community around it, but looking at these numbers you get the impression that it is otherwise.

And the Italian one: https://github.com/immuni-app


Maybe also report it to the Italian data protection authority directly: https://www.garanteprivacy.it/

Thanks for linking, I intentionally saved all files to archive.org as I was sure a lot of people would only notice when it is too late.

Unfortunately it seems like they are also using this as a chance to change the license from a Creative Commons BY-SA to something else.

And the announcement is really short dated as I am sure a lot of services will have to be updated now over the holidays.

At least the last files before the change will stay under the old license forever.

Might this be consistent with their statement:

And speaking of WordPress analytics: There is now a new official WordPress plugin that contains a whole Matomo instance, so you don't need to set it up seperatly.

I want to question the "global" a bit. I zoomed into Vienna and there was just the normal OSM tileset (showing lots of public transport) without any additional data.


Not sure if this is a loading bug on my end, but if I zoom out, I'm seeing information for the UK, Ireland, India and nothing else. Zooming in anywhere else doesn't seem to reveal any more data.

Indeed, I find the following: https://tracker.geops.ch/ more complete.


Yeah, this reminded me of that project as well. What are the differences or USP's when it comes to using this BuzMap?
