I wish Signal Desktop supported screen sharing. I would probably do regular #HardenedBSD live hacking sessions over Signal if it did.
edit[0]: According to https://infosec.exchange/@david_chisnall/114270027799791523, Signal does support screen sharing! I'm definitely gonna give this a shot.
Signal has been dominating the headlines lately. As I read through them, one claim begs a closer, more informed look.
In this post, I compare three areas of Signal’s security model vs DoD systems and show why Signal remains a wise choice for personal use.
My #signalapp is not running properly in the background, so I am not notified of new messages until I go into the app.
I have set it to unrestricted battery and allowed background network usage.
My impression is that it pauses after a while, and when I check the app manually it wakes up. Maybe some security setting.
I am on android 14.
Anyone with a good link to how to set up signal on android?

Dear @Mer__edith and the the amazing @signalapp team,
After the last update, the Signal "desktop app" is requiring us to launch the mobile app - however, many of us do not have the Android or any other "mobile" version of the Signal app any more.
We are a large (by our standards) group of #Linux phone users, and your "desktop" app is our "mobile" app : )
Our previous phones on which #SignalApp was initially activated was an Android or Apple device and we have since then completely migrated to #Linuxphones. Some of us may have registered Signal on #signalcli, Flare, #Molly, Signal Android in #WayDroid, etc.
The #mobileLinux community is growing - we have members spanning a good number of projects and devices, e.g.
- @purism #Librem5 and #LibertyPhone running #Debian-based #PureOS #GnuLinux, #Alpine-based #PostmarketOS or #Mobian,
- @PINE64 #Pinephone and PP Pro running #ManjaroARM, #SailfishOS, etc.
- @furilabs #FLX1 running #Droidian-based #FuriOS,
- a wide variety of Android phones (including OnePlus 6, Google Pixel 3, #Fairphone 4 & 5) running #Alpine-based @postmarketOS ,
- @volla , #Fxtec and #Brax3 devices running #UbuntuTouch by @ubports,
- devices running @mobian which is part of #Debian project, etc.
[Apologies to any project I may have failed to include - you are all appreciated]

@CoachMark
You can entice (is that the word?) them.
You can change your profile picture on WhatsApp with this one
You can put this line in the Info section:
Send me a message on Signal: https://signal.org/install
You can message people something like: You wanna stick it to Zuck? Let's ditch WhatsApp and switch to Signal.
Here in Europa a lot of people are not amused with Meta for bending the knee.
I found a site in English with more info: https://umatechnology.org/how-to-move-from-whatsapp-to-signal-and-why-youd-want-to/

#VRTNWS verspreidt gevaarlijke desinformatie over #Signal. Ze claimen dat inlichtingendiensten de encryptie kunnen "kraken"—zonder enige onderbouwing. Dit brengt journalisten & activisten in gevaar.

Some might be confused why using #Signalapp for discussing highly confidential national security topics is such a problem. Shouldn’t Signal be highly secure?
Signal protocol is secure, but the end user devices rarely are. The chat confidentiality is as weak as its weakest link. With Signal, you can never tell if the other party of a conversation is taking device security, hardening, and opsec seriously. This gets exponentially worse with larger groups, where each additional member adds a potential new weak spot.
Signal can be used for some things, but definitely not discussing highly confidential, secret, or top-secret information.
Nederland top 5-land voor Signal, veel meer gebruikers dan gedacht

RE
#signalapp software has nothing to do with the current #trumpadministration Some of its members happen to use it. Just like, say, Microsoft Word
But they were are breaking the rules, all govt intel text, etc MUST BE saved. It seens from the #jeffreygoldberg #theatlantic article that they might of set the text to auto delete after a short time. that's not breaking the norm, that's breaking the law.

Always verify the identity of the party you initiate communications with by using secure channels, preferably face-to-face. You don't want to appear as stupid as the US administration.
You absolutely can't make this up.
I mean, we've all used Signal as a back channel for keynote chatter at trade conferences, but this ... this takes the cake.
What an incompetent bunch of absolute fuckers.

Wist je dat je #Signal ook als notitie-app kunt gebruiken?
Berichten in 'Notitie aan mezelf' worden gesynchroniseerd met je gekoppelde apparaten.
Zo kun je dus ook snel en veilig (versleuteld) bestanden van je telefoon naar je desktop sturen

Woohoo, @signalapp can now sync 45 days of message history when linking a desktop or iPad!
