Is anybody else having issues getting the Verification Code on #Signal?
I'm trying to change my phone number, but once I've entered my old and new phone number, then verified that I'm human, I get stuck while waiting for the verification code. 'Resend Code' and 'Call' alternatives are greyed out 🫤

@TechDesk @404mediaco I don't get it. This has nothing to do with the platform ( #Signal ) but well with the #dork who invite wrong people to a chat, right?

So shouldn't we be talking about #DorkGate ?

⚙️ 3. #Federated Architecture with Centralized Core
Unlike #Matrix / #Signal, #DeltaChat avoids "coordinated upgrades" via its centralized Rust library. This enables:
- Cross-compatibility with 500k+ devices
- Interoperability with SMTP/IMAP servers (#Gmail, #ProtonMail)
- Minimal metadata leakage (TLS-encrypted headers)
➤ Study: Song et al. (USENIX Security ’24) confirmed transport-layer security fixes .

"Info to those who use #signal They were financed by US intelligence."

I've read this part of this book, and the evidence is hilariously weak.

Moxie applied for a grant with the Open Technology Fund, like millions of tech startups, 15 years ago, received like $3000, and somehow for Yasha Levine that translated to it being "funded by U.S. intelligence" 🤦‍♂️.

As of 2018, Signal is owned and developed by a charity, and that charity's funding is publicly disclosed every year:

Signal Technology Foundation - Nonprofit Explorer

Since 2013, the IRS has released data culled from millions of nonprofit tax filings. Use this database to find organizations and see details like their executive compensation, revenue and expenses, as well as download tax filings going back as far as 2001.

Info to those who use #signal They were developed by US intelligence. Same for #Tor browser it seems!

That should mean, that they were heavily tested for security. I guess.

При блокировке #chatmail, то что мы делаем? Мы переходим на другой #chatmail. При этом теряем контакты, необходимо заново обмениваться qr между контактами. При блокировке прокси #signal, мы меняем прокси, а контакты все остаются. Это, пожалуй, самый большой недостаток #deltachat
