If you are accepting donation and you set a minimum limit, then it is not donation, it is a purchase, simply because you have set the minimum price. Really that simple.
So, I'm interested how the implementation of "Perfect Forward Secrecy" in Signal looks like, like does every messages has a different encryption key? or does it change over time like #whatsapp does? I tried to find any official documention of this, sadly did not find anything.
Thats why I'm asking, does anyone of you know smth about this and maybe can provide a link to a official source?
If I read this right, @signalapp, @torproject, and other well-known #privacy-centric communications systems were largely funded by and aligned with Western covert #intelligence agencies, for the purpose of aiding dissidents of enemy governments while centralizing secret traffic onto networks the intelligence community could subvert.
Only now they’re unhappy that Western citizens use them and so have pulled #SignalApp’s funding.
Just a heads-up to all fellow @signalapp users: there is a high chance that the messages you send or the messages others send to you don't get delivered. Previously it was an issue with iOS recipients, but now it also is happening to Android users. When you open the Signal app you will see multiple notifications but their sent time is from minutes or an hour ago (depends on how frequently you open the app). If you have an important message, don't reply on Signal.
Joined the Signal username land grab, got the usual handle. Question arises: Best practices on posting/sharing. At the moment you have to know my phone # to Signal me, but that’s very easy to figure out. So, initially inclined to just post the username. Hmmmmmm…
It is so exciting to finally release Signal 7.0.0-beta.1. This release was literally years in making. So much of my colleagues and my work are finally getting into the hands of our users!
PSA: @signalapp writes on #Twitter (where there is fewer and fewer public to announce to) that «After responsible investigation we have no evidence that suggests this vulnerability is real»
In this Signal review, we’ll look at the capabilities, usability, and security that Signal offers. We’ll also talk about how the design of the service provides extremely strong protection for your privacy. Signal is truly impressive, so let’s cut the chatter and dig in to the review.
I was wondering why @signalapp is not @fdroidorg . I searched their Github issues and realized it has been asked multiple times and every time it came up, the Signal devs closed it without providing any reason. The most recent one being:
There is no explanation anywhere explaining why, and quite honestly it is getting frustrating digging basic and simple information off of Signal folks and websites!
Kleines Projekt für den Sonntag Abend: Schreibe Deinen 10 oder 20 wichtigsten WhatsApp-Kontakten, dass Du ab jetzt gern bevorzugt Signal nutzen würdest. Meine Erfahrung ist: Natürlich gibt es vereinzelt Unverständnis, aber man findet auch immer jemanden, der schon längst gerne wechseln wollte und sich nicht zu fragen traute.
Traut Euch! 😄
P.S. Denkt dran, Euren Signal-Nutzernamen mitzuteilen.
Seit ein paar Tagen/Wochen folgendes Verhalten bei #SignalApp unter Android:
Ich swipe die Notification-Liste runter und tippe auf ne Notification für eine Nachricht. Es dauert ca. ne Sekunde, bis sich Signal öffnet. In der Zeit bleibt die Notification-Liste offen. Was mich üblicherweise verwirrt, weil ich denke, dass mein Tap nicht registriert wurde und deshalb nochmal tappe.
Das war früher nicht so. Ist auch nur Signal, bei dem das Problem auftritt. Gibt's bei euch ähnliche Erfahrungen?

> There’s no technology that can magically scan everyone’s communications in a private and secure way. There are a number of interested vendors that have been, in one way or another, claiming the technology exists. It doesn’t exist in any safe form. There’s no way to square that circle.
