Alberto Nunez (@Alberto8793) reported@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. 🙏

@beatrizelenaflorez (@beatrizelenaf) reported@signalapp We kindly request a language translator for the application. If it's not too much trouble, thank you.

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.

6H6ST6.AI (@6H6ST6) reported@WhatsApp @signalapp @X amongst many others been shut down around us in the UK how is this ok that this is allowed we’re been run out by the one person that promised us the best and is given us hell ! On earth how is this ok ? There’s no humanity there is no clear leader to lead!

Greensleeves (@grnsleeves) reported@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)

cookiesvodka (@_cookiesvodka) reported@theweb3jess @signalapp @depressivehacks Safeguard the women and children by mass deporting migrants. Islam is the problem
-
Mzansi Pulse (@Mzansi_Pulse) reported@VusiThembekwayo @signalapp @telegram This will not help anyone. If one needs a secure way of communicating, one needs a self hosted option
-
Idea Catalogue (@idea_catalogue) reported@theweb3jess @signalapp @depressivehacks for instance someone could mail you pics you don't want, also anonymously. but i don't call for the post office to censor everyone's mail. you can choose not to open the mail from unsolicited senders. or pay a service to filter your mail and not forward ones screened for ******

MG (@taradasana) reported@signalapp @404mediaco And what have you done to fix careless whisper? @signalapp

not_cyotee (@NCyotee) reported@aaron0v @signalapp Simple, Signal controls your keys, and the app delivery lifecycle. Yes, it is OS, and anyone can compile and run it. For now. They systematically shut down any popular alternate builds. And they obfuscate the compiled code. You have to use their servers, so at any point they can change the underlying behavior by pushing and update. And the simple fact, if they can recover your key for you, you have no guarantee they can't recover your key for themselves. Matrix allows any client. You control your key. No recovery. If you lose your key, you lose access to all your old messages.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s Ghost (@dietrichBonh) reported@signalapp Idk. I’m almost always on the side of more privacy but jr this can’t help a lot of children from unimaginable horrors it doesn’t look bad to me. I would suffer any inconvenience for that.

wanna be racer (@bitchin1283e) reported@chrisfrazier0 @Bwazenbull @signalapp Holy ****. I saw some other guy say VPN doesn't help, same for you?
-
Pyxis (@pyx3lperfect) reported@signalapp Would like to offer infrastructure security help if it’s wanted @signal
-
常隆威 (@ChangW30200) reported@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.
-
AlmightyA (@AlmightyAye) reported@Mandy03567961 @signalapp Shutting it down in the face of a criminal demand like this is submission and accepting defeat. This situation needs people openly and proudly defying it, while calling it what it is, and that's a human rights violation.
-
Biddaddy (@biddaddy_lc) reported@signalapp @404mediaco lowkey wild that it took a leak for this fix
-
XLERB (@XLERBonX) reported@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.)
-
Sebastian Buzdugan (@sebuzdugan) reported@signalapp watched phishing kits move from login pages to fake support scripts after trust improved
-
B Invest HQ (@BInvestHQ) reported@signalapp If used fraudulently this software could be used to scan bank accounts and other financial and data critical ones like passwords. This is not the way to control the problem and should be controlled through the data centres etc.
-
Nemesis (@lov24751) reported@topicswithatee @signalapp It has nothing to do with the kids as a parent i dont wont any govt thinking they can do better. Have to be lazy as **** useless trash if want the govt nosing around pretending watching ur kids for you. Shuting down the kids ability to think for them selfs growing the sheep

-
Crazibeat | Mobile Dev (@crazibeat1) reported@KhalidWarsa @signalapp Damn, the factory reset part is a problem 🥲
-
Sebastian Buzdugan (@sebuzdugan) reported@signalapp project folders help, but unread semantics get messy once muted chats are included
-
alienznbotz.nft (@alienznbotz) reported@signalapp Hello, why can't Android users not send a vídeo without having to have enable Google Photos App to be able to compress any video. Why can't it be independent of Google photos for compression like WhatsApp does. Please address this issue. Thank you.

Old School (@CHiPs1988) reported@Apple Siri is horrible! Never gets it right. Try to dictate on CarPlay and it will cut you off. I message is horrible as well. The @signalapp is way better! @grok is great and always gets it right! Will even correct me sometimes and it was right! Hire English speaking people to teach IPhone to dictate properly. I’ve worked in the labs and I know who is working on the iPhones. This is the problem. “No Joke!”
-
Deus (@deuslexic) reportedSignal 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?
-
KR (@KRinweb3) reported@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.
-
Yegor Tkachenko (@yegortk) reported@signalapp @prestonjbyrne Life is a multi-obejctive optimization problem - child safety is one important objective, privacy is another important objective (Iranians would love more privacy from their state). Maxing out a single objective when the price of that is sacrificing all else is a bad policy.
-
marc hofer (@marchofer) reported@BrendanEich @signalapp How !? Just disable notifications in the Signal settings and you can mitigate. Maybe it should be default and should come with a warning for users when activated. But the real issue is with iOS being garbage.

Sebastian Buzdugan (@sebuzdugan) reported@signalapp no repro matters but listed checked versions would help teams close noisy incident queues
