Extremely competent, saying Signal is not private by design.

While very disingenuous, it’s not technically incorrect.

Signal is secure by design, and is extremely good at that with a very well designed and vetted cryptographic protocol.

But privacy isn’t one of their primary goals, nor should it if it comes at the cost of security; for example, for the longest time you needed to share your phone number with everyone you wanted to talk to, and everyone in every group chat you are a part of could see it.

You bring up a lot of good points, but something I would to add is that there is a reason why you wouldn’t want it to act like a standard xinput device without steam.

One big usecase for the steam controller is as the primary (and possibly only) input for a HTPC (such as the steam machine). So having the controller act as a basic keyboard and mouse without steam (ie: lizard mode) allows you to navigate menus that a standard controller can’t such as pre-boot Operating System menus or BIOS menus without having to breakout a keyboard and mouse.

If you’re interacting with a command line terminal frequently then yes, since Ctrl+Shift+C is the shortcut for copy in most terminal emulators as Ctrl+C is used for terminating the current running command.
