Linux is the only viable operating system that is not vulnerable to US government sponsored supply chain attacks

Well I certainly don't agree with that, and in many cases (at least with specific Linux distros) I would even argue it IS vulnerable already. Maybe we have different definitions of "viable" or something. The Linux kernel itself has also been forced to make political decisions at the demand of the United States, such as removing support for Russian CPUs (but somehow Chinese ones are A-OK).

    Curious how large organizations are dealing with the lack of tight group policy control that they're used to on Windows, and users having far more options for circumventing any given restriction.

    The new app design will still be necessary if that were to become a feature, so this is a halfway step either way.

    One thing this lets people do is utilize burner numbers without a physical phone tied to it. They can use their provider's web-based UI to receive text messages for the signal confirmation, but can then use the app solely from a desktop.

    This also paves the way for an official command-line client, library or SDK that could be used for automation.
