I did call out data density in my first comment. Did you somehow miss that? Not all things that need storing are megabytes in size, though.
Why would you assume that paper means punch cards? Printers can store far more than a machine word on a page, are relatively cheap, and are widely available. For some things, this can be superior to both magnetic and flash storage.

Note that Apple has been participating for more than 12 years.
I was excluding media that are impractical for most people to use.
Strictly speaking, I think paper beats magnetic tape on longevity.
Unfortunately, it loses on data density.
I disagree.
Despite disagreeing, I appreciate that you used your words. Thanks.
I suggest browsing the apps available here:
Edit: I have no idea who would downvote this or why, but doing so is not helpful to anyone, in any way. If you have a question or concern, please just write it in a comment.
I was referring to the image-only link and the embed that you suggested. Sorry if that wasn't clear.
Neither of those is a good approach, because part of every xkcd comic is the hover text.
It was a few years ago when I read Signal's statement about this, so I'm afraid I don't have a link for you.
I believe you when you say Molly functions, but it's important to note that without Signal's blessing, anyone using Molly can be locked out of the network (and their chats and contacts) at any moment. It's not the same as official interoperability.
I wonder if the Digital Markets Act will eventually force it.
Unless Signal's policies recently changed, Molly is not interoperable, since Signal does not allow third-party clients to use their servers/network. That would make point 2 correct.
If that policy has changed, then someone please link the announcement so I can update my notes.
Won't that make the front fall off?
