Was this title intentionally written in a way as to make people think he had died?
Yes, it is still OK to use those services. The law is aimed at the messaging/social media businesses, not individuals, and is vague enough that they won't have to do anything around their E2EE until there is viable technology available to square the circle of allowing for the checking of illegal abuse content while not functionally destroying E2EE. So potentially never.
This is what I use. Not amazing, but given it's possible to use Messenger through it as well if needed, it's better than nothing.
I'd been on the waitlist for more than a year, but finally on. I downloaded the app a little while ago to keep tabs on my progress through the waitlist and they definitely have been speeding up the process of getting people onboarded to be fair.

SlimSocial is the only one that I've found that still works, though might require some messing with the settings to get Messenger working through it.
Matrix bridges are an option for those willing to put the effort in and self-host. I might get round to doing this at some point.
It's not open-source, but I've settled on Beeper for the time being as the simplest option to get all my messages in one place.
Rishi Sunak announces government will seek supreme court appeal, but Labour says policy is unravelling after judges’ decision
Who would have guessed?! Now to wait and see how many commentators and newspaper editors call the judges 'enemies of the people'.
I know there's already a few posts about how people listen to, or discover new music, but I wanted to see how other people get their music. Do you buy CDs or vinyl? Digital downloads? Use streaming services? Something else? And why?
Until a few years ago, I would jump between streaming services depending on the best deals I could get, but got very concerned the more I read about how little money most musicians get from streaming listens (especially via Spotify) - and given I tend to listen to less popular bands/artists, it seems particularly bad for them.
I have a small selection of CDs and vinyl, but mostly buy my music digitally - directly via Bandcamp if the artist is on there, or through an online store like 7digital (or even sometimes if no other option, Amazon) if not. I have a home server where I keep my music and like to be able to stream it directly to my phone, so this tends to be the best of both worlds for me.
Interested to know what others do!
