I have Signal for Linux.  Had to install it from a terminal, but it's
one of the essentials.

Amendment XIV
Section 1.

[...] No state shall make or enforce any law which shall
abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the
United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of
life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;
nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal
protection of the laws.

Dobbs rewrites this, it is invalid precedent.  States are
liable for denying needed abortions, e.g. TX.

I had issues getting Signal Desktop to work for Fedora back when I was
using Fedora.  Had to resort to Flatpak (yuk) and it failed to connect
to the account anyway.  The Debian version works nicely.

Still a bit of a bloated app.

I installed it once on phone for a one-off purpose, then wiped it.

Most of my trivial everyday comms go via whatsapp. So it stays on.

Being able to video call around the world for nothing is useful

The biggest threat to humanity comes from socialism, which has utterly 
diverted our attention away from what really matters to our existential 
survival, to indulging in navel gazing and faux moral investigations 
into what the world ought to be, whilst we fail utterly to deal with 
what it actually is.
