Alright I'm gonna put a bigger effort to switch to Signal this time around and get a few friends roped in. I installed the APK just recently. I have some questions and am hoping some of y'all fedibrains would have an answer.
1. Is there any privacy difference between Signal from the Google Play store vs installing the APK from Github?
2. Given how locked down iPhones are, could that make Signal inherently less private?
3. Are calls also e2e encrypted?
4. Is it safe to put my Signal username on my bio? Or should that only ever be shared in private?
5. Can anyone with my Signal username also see what name I set as my first name?
Some of these questions might be dumb because I'm still learning the ropes. Thanks in advance!

However, as a music fan first.. I want the artists I love to get paid even on old stuff. As a visual artist, I would never devalue my old work just because I improved. As a musician.. I wonder a great deal about why one musician might sell and another would give away.
I sell, because I need money to live. It is that boring and thoughtless. Lol
Is it because music is intangible that it seems to hold so little monetary worth?

i feel charging for it would just cause unnecessary barriers. not only that, i have certain quality standards. the stuff i put out previously did not meet them, therefore i wouldn't sit right with me to charge for it. maybe my influences have set impossibly high standards for me and maybe its been a steep hill to climb. but i feel it has helped a great deal with self discipline.
that last part about the value of music can be a whole discussion in itself, one I don't have enough brainpower to partake in on my work break lol.
nostr:npub1hd2rzs04wqq4pqavyr9dnmczg80nzgwg0p73eu3y63ck3gf4ejwsz2zm0u its old and a poor reflection of what I am capable of now. new stuff will be sold.
