Losing Signal

2023-03-09 19:15:26.28474+01 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

I dropped Signal from my phone when they decided that they were gonna make me decide how to contact my contacts, and drop SMS from their client. There were some other things that were giving me off vibes, and I have had some second thoughts, because I think end-to-end encryption is important, but mostly I haven't looked back.

More in the off-vibes: Ploum: Losing Signal. On trying, and failing, to get Signal working on an Android phone that doesn't have the Google Play store installed.
