Isn’t it open source?
Oh, you think that they show you the actual door? They don’t - ever.
In open source projects they indeed do show the backdoor. That’s is one of the key points of open source (along with free-ish terms of use). Closed source projects just say “there aren’t any” without showing anything.
I’ve said many times I’m critical of Signal & ready to switch, but backdoor seems unconfirmed. Even if probable on some level.
No worries, it’s not my main (or second) language either, it’s just that no backdoor is explained in that link.
I was just curious.
I don’t understand this & need some explanations (I’ve heard about the dev, it’s just USA stuff, much like Telegram mentioned Russian). Where exactly are the backdoors/the encryption compromised?
Yeah, no, I get & like that, I just somehow specifically (obviously mis-)remember that they did away with phone number as a prerequisite for creating an account (everything still the same, just that the account can’t be reset).
:(
So those posts they implemented this were lies (meaning I obv didn’t read attentively enough)?
Sad :(.
Afaik you don’t need a phone number for Signal (a “username” can substitute it, a few years back they added it). edit: you still do
(Also the phone number & IP was the security risk, not the messages, afaik.)
This however was a debate about a supposed backdoor (I otherwise agree about Signal & its USA basedness, I just remain glad it exists despite it manyfew blemishes).
Can you point it out so we can close it asap?

(Iirc it’s up to date?)
Thx!
(I’m critical of Signal, but “in this economy” is the best I can hope to switch my friends to.)
Y’all have pre-built phones? And even laptops? Or car computers??
Weirdos.

But def, this type of info is at best for the investors (and even then just unstructured info about market shares), not consumers.
Totally!!
I’m fully spoiled by it.
(And one of the reasons family and friends happen to run Tumbleweed.)
Zypper gang, dup!!

Done!
(But actually I like it.)
Yeah, normally this meme wouldn’t be about life-changing consequences to ones personal finances but about life-changing consequences on someones body due to a medical emergency.
When you go to the ER & just start vibe-coding so now the nurses have to debug you.

By 3.5" you ofc mean:

“The ‘burn’ part is like what the climate change does, which you are familiar with.
The ‘CD’ part is like your brain, where the ‘burn’ causes microplastics to melt in a pattern that stores data.”
“Now kids, can anyone tell me why the historians often say ‘CDs nutz’?”
“Importance™”
Yeah, now I can’t see the vid :(
