That’s untrue. Someone made a modified client that sent message info towards other servers completely independently of signal. That part was compromised.
It’s like calling aignal compromised because someones phone was hacked.Signal can’t protect you from users being an idiot and essentially showing their chat histories to other people over the internet.

That weird blue ai circle I saw them put in the app sure looks like one fat unremovable nag-ad.
Same with the status stuff. They tried turning it into a social media by shoving crap in your face you didn’t want and making it impossible to remove. How is that not an ad? - Comment on Entrance covered by dreams and RNA 1 week ago:

They also say
meaning they cannot be read by a third party
which equally isn’t true.
If your password is guessable with trillions of attempts, and whatever information and time an attacker wants, then of course can they crack your hash, “read” your password, and try it on other services.
Sadly the kind of password susceptible to being broken on account of not being strong enough is also the kind people use everywhere because they memorize it. A truly strong password will only be found in a password manager.

It’s completely removable with one setting. No nags or anti-patterns or design holes.
If it stops a few from sticking with whatsapp because signal lacks that “feature”, I’d say it’s worth it. - Comment on Nepal bans social media(Facebook, X, Reddit, Mastodon, Discord, Signal, YouTube and more) for failing to register with the government; Only 7 to be open(Viber, TikTok, Telegram and more) 2 weeks ago:
Mastodon is also blocked, I don’t think they cared if services are centralized.

- Comment on Famous VPN company Mullvald says it will no longer use OpenVPN 4 weeks ago:
Not sure about that. I set up a wg vpn server on a system which then became unresponsive whenever wg was fully saturating the network. Turns out there is apparently no way to throttle or prioritize a wg server, the only way I could think of would be to dedicate a vm to solely the wg vpn and throttle that vm in its networking.
I instead switched to openvpn which can simply be throttled via a line in its configuration.Besides that missing feature, openvpn also doesn’t require figuring out the right iptables commands to verbatim paste into its config as startup and shutdown commands. Setting it up was way easier than wg (though openvpn too wasn’t exactly user-friendly).
WG to me seems too clunky and unfinished for more mainstream usage, though I am sure it wouldn’t be an issue for a large commercial user like mullvad that will have no issue with all that.

ImagePaperclips in your comments are a bit more annoying in comparison, also you’ll just forget them.
The newest rossmann video explains the idea more, but in short the goal is to get a feel for how large the movement is, not creating some slogan.

- Comment on Intel CPU Temperature Monitoring Driver For Linux Now Unmaintained After Layoffs 5 weeks ago:
States can control who companies do business with, and also who buys and sells them.
I’d be surprised if the US let any foreign actor buy Intel, and pretty sure specifically US chip companies (production, design, and IP) are barred from doing most kinds of business with China. - Comment on MD = oMega Dumbass 5 weeks ago:
While this may sound reasonable at first glance, it is only true most of the time. Sometimes a minute contains 59 or 61 seconds, even in Africa.

- Comment on EU age verification app to ban any Android system not licensed by Google 1 month ago:
That applies to play integrity, and a lot of getting that working is juggling various signatures and keys.
The suggestion above which I replied to was instead about software-managed keys, something handed to the app which it then stores, where the google drm is polled to get that sacred piece of data. Since this is present in the software, it can be plainly read by the user on rooted devices, which hardware-based keys cannot.Play integrity is hardware based, but the eu app is software based, merely polling googles hardware based stuff somewhere in the process.

- Comment on EU age verification app to ban any Android system not licensed by Google 1 month ago:
In the eu, phone numbers by law are tied to state identities.
And the phone provider can naturally resolve their sim IDs down to the phone number they are assigned to.
Anything related to celltower interactions is PII.
