  They don’t need it. Their encryption is broken and behind 5 clicks away and not turned on by default. Just use @signalapp

  Signal is wild. I send a message and it arrives to the other person whenever Signal feels like it. Real-time messaging? More like 'eventually messaging.' WhatsApp with all its problems at least delivers in the present tense. @signalapp fix it

  @chardidathing @signalapp I can see why, although having a fork has some limitations. How would would I keep? How much would I change? If I start forking and just change most of it, it's as good as a new project anyway. Besides, the parity issue happens with the clients of most apps, even simple forks

  @signalapp's Contact Discovery Service (CDSI) lets you securely discover which of your contacts are on Signal. It's on by default, and the app sends your full contacts list every 48h. Queries run inside an SGX enclave, so even Signal's servers can't see them. SGX encrypts the enclave's memory, so the host can't read the queries directly, and uses ORAM to hide the access pattern.

  Signal security with CAPTCHA is non-sense. I cannot pass it for 3 days, manually with my agents. I need to assign a new number, and I've been throttled after just several attempts (it was carrier issues). @signalapp can you be less idiotic, please?

  @durov Thats what @signalapp also says. "Leave the market". Have they left any market? No. Zilch. Nada. Zero. When the SIM binding rules in India were made mandatory (now extended till December this year), was there any blog post? Zilch. Nada. Was there any mention from your end too? Zilch. Nada. Nyet. Realistically speaking- will it make an impact beyond "moralistic statements"? Important to note: All governments will want a bit of a control. Name calling (by a person of your stature) won't help.

  @signalapp Instead of repealing the law that throws people in jail over mean words on the internet, which is clearly ridiculous, they're going to double down? It's like watching 1984 play out in real life.

  @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.

  @ShaneAKAProp @beverleyturner @signalapp Not my problem.

  @signalapp @404mediaco Apple could just read it from Apple Push Notification service right?

  @KhanAbbas201 @signalapp good for chats, sadly terrible ux for groups. not even sure what is the reason for expiring links.

  @chrisfrazier0 @Bwazenbull @signalapp Holy ****. I saw some other guy say VPN doesn't help, same for you?

  @signalapp Hi Signal team — solo dev building an AGPL app on libsignal. To ship it on the Apple App Store I'd need a §7 App Store additional permission for libsignal (you did this for an earlier library ). I've filed the details in a GitHub issue on the libsignal repo. Could I get it in front of the right person? My code's AGPL, full source published. Thanks for libsignal. 🙏

  @NivalCat @signalapp Signal has always (since TextSecure) used phone number as primary user identifier — that’s not the issue.

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

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

  @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.)

• 
  Craig Stevens (@craig100) reported 33 minutes ago

  @LabDRN @signalapp A better way to do this is to only switch the service on for childs' phones. The parents do that when they set up the phone. No dig ID needed.

  常隆威 (@ChangW30200) reported 33 minutes ago

  @signalapp I believe that to solve this problem, we must learn from the software Session/SimpleX and remove the real-name registration requirement for phone numbers. This would render any hacking efforts futile.

  @signalapp When creating a new account on a different phone, the verification code does not arrive. I don't know why. Please solve this problem.

  @Pandora_Delaney @MichaelAlleged @signalapp I know a few Signal devs you can ****.. but I don't think it will fix this issue... Might still be fun though.

  @topicswithatee @signalapp Stop giving kids smart phones Problem solved It’s on the lazy *** parents

  @overbyte@gamepad.club (@overbyte) reported 40 minutes ago

  @theweb3jess @signalapp @depressivehacks Parental controls have been part of mobile operating systems for years. A small amount of training would solve the problem of safeguarding and keep the onus on parents

  @theweb3jess @signalapp @depressivehacks Safeguard the women and children by mass deporting migrants. Islam is the problem

  @theweb3jess @signalapp @depressivehacks Who gives a ****, just don’t give your kid a phone. Not our problem.

  @signalapp It's always worth asking whether a loss of privacy today will actually solve the problem it's supposed to solve tomorrow.

  @signalapp The problem I have with all this **** is, it will never be used for "justice". It will only ever be used for "control". They proved it to us with the lock-downs. "YOU" got tackled, and abused by cops for trying to walk on the beach, "THEY" got to dine at restaurants,without masks

  @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.
