    @fedora I just started using Fedora (thank you!), and I'm wondering if there is a safe, secure way to install Signal Desktop @signalapp? Do you have an issue with Signal?

    @Pandora_Delaney @ArtirKel @signalapp hmm yeah that does sound like a bug perhaps file a bug report and hope that the next update would fix? (sorry idk anyone at signal)

    @theweb3jess @signalapp @depressivehacks its not hard to lock down a phone to the most basic of functions are you that retarded?

    @The_Propapanda @signalapp I'm sure that if you can provide an exhaustive list of all names that might be used in phishing campaigns, signal can block them... That is a weak spot, but it's hard to fix.

    is AWS or some cloud thing down...? two apps not working including @signalapp debug log support - weird

    @FreedomofPress @signalapp It's very odd that you don't help promote apps that are even more secure than Signal like @SimpleXChat why is that?

    @TFTC21 Wait… privacy tools are supposed to protect users when access to their data is being forced, not become the problem themselves. Device privacy, encrypted communication, and network protection are all becoming essential layers. @GrapheneOS and @signalapp are examples of how privacy is being built into different parts of the stack.

    @theweb3jess @signalapp @depressivehacks "we need to shoot all dogs to safeguard children from dog attacks" - that's stupid it won't help "What do you suggest then????" This is you. Wanna shoot all dogs?

    @signalapp @404mediaco lowkey wild that it took a leak for this fix

  • Pandora_Delaney
    Pandora (Dr. *****) (@Pandora_Delaney) reported

    @MichaelAlleged @signalapp Unbelievable. Who do I have to **** at Signal to fix this?

  • BradyDale
    Brady Dale (@BradyDale) reported

    @LydiaMoynihan I can't help but feel like sovereign AI will be like using @signalapp or a VPN, something savvy people care about while consumers in general just won't be bothered to think thru Might be something corporates buy into tho. I could buy that.

  • ShaswotNepal

    @signalapp @404mediaco SMS Provider is down for Nepal. i am unable to log in to new device. fix it ASAP.

    @kanavtwt Problem is not with @signalapp. They just seem to be caught in the OS cross-fire.

    @signalapp I’m waiting on a verification code that never comes. Any help?

    @theweb3jess @signalapp @depressivehacks I take all of them. You’re all terrible ******* parents and judges of what’s good for kids.

  • timderoode
    Tim (@timderoode) reported

    @durov @durov the early OTF grants (2013-2016) for @signalapp are publicly documented. This might create a perception issue for its independence but doesn’t prove active/ongoing US gov backing or influence. Or you have other information?

  • MNMegan

    @PressSec Is @POTUS going to address the @signalapp chat with Israelis laughing about our service members dying for them? 😡😡👀

    @signalapp Would like to offer infrastructure security help if it’s wanted @signal

  • DustinFinn
    Dustin (BusySignal-KE2EFX) (@DustinFinn) reported

    OMFG - these arm chair security people calling this recent issue where iOS notifications where preview messages were held - calling it a @signalapp issue are just making me nuts. It’s an #OpSec issue / if you’re concerned - security is not one app it’s an entire process.

  • XLERBonX

    @signalapp Government LOVES to solve problems. That's why they're there, to solve problems. (I guess sarcasm still doesn't work on the internet.)

  • agaefendi_
    Chromatic Aberration (@agaefendi_) reported

    @Tech_Temp_ @signalapp Surely tech people will find a way and create privacy focused content like we always did. You’re missing my point. I’m saying for everyday people and mainstream devices being scanned for the huge problem of children trafficking. I’ve reported a few cases of such on this app even.

  • sebuzdugan

    @signalapp no repro matters but listed checked versions would help teams close noisy incident queues

    @sombradosul @signalapp @depressivehacks While true, it’s best to have a proposal to the problem Else, you are just another complainer on the Internet

    @callebtc @signalapp @smspoolnet even tho i dislike the titan, port your number to Google Voice for $10 then keep the free service. only problem is it registers as VoiP so doesn't always authenticate as a true phone number. but it verifies with Signal

  • by6nes
    tom (@by6nes) reported

    Anyone had problems with @signalapp just freezing soon as app is open, sometimes if im quick it will let me open a chat but it wont let me send messages etc, cleared cache, reinstalled etc still same!

  • cloudnine1080
    Jason Kling (@cloudnine1080) reported

    @signalapp 0 trust is the way. Demons can slip in and out of souls and can potentially cause a number of issues. We should “try” to give people cyber security on their devices with select individuals granted scanning access with AI tools.

  • sebuzdugan
    Sebastian Buzdugan (@sebuzdugan) reported

    @signalapp usernames help, but spam control gets harder when phone numbers stop anchoring identity

    @signalapp @404mediaco Did they even show proof or can someone see if Apple did fix it or did they lie about the fix too

  • tenohtoo

    @Dinosn Other apps have a similar problem. Signal leaks chats through task switcher even when locked. I reported it ages ago; no response from @signalapp

  • itsLIRAN
    Liran Cohen (CTV + CSFS) (@itsLIRAN) reported

    @simulx4 @signalapp I'm working on it! It's a hard problem to solve, and even with my current solution there is some metadata leakage. Some of the metadata can be obfuscated for protocols that aren't many-to-many in large numbers.
