I'm not excusing burning down innocent people's property, but Teslas are not cheap.

I doubt anyone who'd lose one would have their life destroyed.

You can have one, as a treat.

What exactly is Signal supposed to do here?

They're not supposed to be able to help in any way, how would they determine if a specific user is using Signal for phishing or whatever without decrypting their chats?

Being European would make zero difference here, unless the European service is backdoored.

It's going to be really difficult in a standard setup.

If you really care maybe try something like Tails.

It's not like physical media makes any difference anyway these days.

Actual disk often gets just a glorified installer, and even if it includes the entire game you're likely to have to activate it online anyway.

The "own your games" ship has sailed long ago, unless you only buy no-DRM and your own backups.

Sure, right after they implement other advanced features, such as AFK detection on Wayland!

There's no reason an app should be more trustworthy than the email.
It's pretty standard for scummy companies to make the process as annoying as possible.

They already said they don't want to.

They asked you to install the app on purpose, in hopes that you'll decide it's too much hassle and decide not to delete the account.
