The xz sshd backdoor rabbithole goes quite a bit deeper
Moxie's reasons for disallowing Signal distribution via F-droid always rang a little flat to me ( https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Android/issues/127 ). Lots of chatter about the supposedly superior security model of Google Play Store, and as a result fewer eyes independently building and testing the Signal code base. Everyone is entitled to their opinions, but independent and reproducible builds seem like a net positive for everyone. Always struggled to understand releasing code as open source without taking advantage of the community's willingness to build and test. Looking at it in a new light after the XZ backdoor, and Jia Tan's interactions with other FOSS folk.

Signal v7.0.0 with phone number privacy
There's nothing on Signal blog as of yet, but Signal's git repository was tagged with v7.0.0 yesterday and we can see from the commit history since the previously tagged version (v6.74.4) that there will be a setting to hide one's phone number [1], as well as disabling the previous default behavior of advertising that one is on Signal to all their contacts already using it [2].

What are you shocked people are still doing nowadays?
Signal works the same but without the user tracking from Meta/Facebook. Many people use it as well but I'm surprised that a majority sticks to WhatsApp.

Apple Just Confirmed Governments Are Spying on People’s Phones With Push Notifications
Sadly yes: Looks like an open issue 13290 for Signal, sounds like they were/are indeed still interacting through google's push notification service, wat, and per a link at that issue it was a chore for Tutanota to break away once they realised it was a problem some years ago (though at least they thought about it years ago? wtf Signal...)

Which are your favourite foss apps that are yet to get Material you treatment ?
Best foss YT client no doubt, it plays every yt video with rare crashes, Libretube is best UI wise and have MU but it can't play every yt video, so it this app in MU will be bliss :) * Tasks.org apparently dev of this app tried to implement MU but i think he said, due to code languge it is not possible * Aegis/Authenticator Pro Both are best 2fa apps there is no doubt but i prefer Authenticator pro for it's more features and seamless backup...Dev. of aegis denied MU in issues page of his repo, Maybe Auth. Pro will have it :) There is Mauth with MU but still in Alpha so it's unusable * Bitwarden It is always a nice thing to see this app in MU :) best password manager (I know for 2fa app and password managers we don't supposed to look of UI but still) * Forkgram Besically all telegram clients lacks MU, there is workaround with TG monet (which i use) but you have to manually apply theme everytime so inbuilt monet will be great. Nonfoss apps like MDgram have monet theme (but this is foss sub) * VLC Just imagine how nice it would look if most widely used media player follows MU :), let's hope it will get it soon :)
