There’s an easy way to thoroughly and permanently remove the recall feature.
And this.
Yeah, I’m actually on CachyOS now. I just always point newcomers to Mint because it’s easy and well supported.
Not a newbie since 2001 (but moved to Mint)
Don’t get me wrong, Mint is great for everyone. I was using it primarily for ages, and I’ve been using Linux for decades as well.
Lemme shill some as well; https://voidlinux.org/download/
uninstalling spyware from windows takes longer than installing linux at this point
And they’ll just reinstall the spyware next feature update.
People everywhere rely on Signal to protect their communication, including human rights workers, governments, board rooms, militaries, and millions of individuals around the world for whom privacy is an existential matter.
One government in particular.
Time to sprinkle DRM magic on every Windows application
Signal also conveniently forgot all of my previous messages in the most recent update.
But hey if I log in and register my phone number they might be able to get it back.
Fuck signal
Threema for me
FYI: Signal stores all of your messages on your device. If something happens to them there, they’re gone. I’m not saying that justifies an update nuking your messages. Just explaining for anyone who may not understand that. There’s no central database storing your data long term. Which is a feature.
Assuming their story is true.
How would logging in and giving them your number potentially restore them if they’re stored locally and are just gone?
Reading their other comments, i think they are not using a real number/a number they don’t have access to, and signal is requiring to verify it/ “secure it” after the update. Thus, even tho the messages are stored locally they can’t access it without doing something with the number
based
