I'm a happy paying user of @signal.org but I'm disappointed by @meredithmeredith.bsky.social thread about the AWS outage.

It's going to be absolutely critical that we be able to hack on and trust the hardware we use. I think the hardware from MNT is the best bet we have for a computing future we still have a say in mnt.re
I hope the MNT Reform Next is going to make MNT's stuff more accessible to more people
