I'm sorry but that is really the dumbest argument that I've ever heard. How in the world does that affect the user when it's compiled anyways? If you want to modify the app then just do it in kotlin. They are interoperable
It's the same as any other code you'll run on your machine. Privacy has nothing to do with DLC and especially not with JIT
Clearly the only right answer is Internet. Who cares about camera, mic or location when the app cannot send the data anywhere anyways?

No i think you misunderstood. Local backups (as we have them now) will (most likely) stay.
I'm gonna be honest. I chose a random article by JWZ and read it. The only thing they are talking about is the contact discovery system. If they don't want contacts to be uploaded (encrypted) then simply don't give signal the permission. And that the author moves to facebook messenger because there
at least the privacy failings are obvious
just shows how the author isn't even interested in secure and private messaging but only in defamig signal
Okay so I've been using Signal for over two years now and would like to address your critical points:
- I switched from my old phone to my current phone without losing even one message. Not even safety numbers changed
- Yes you have to give them a phone number. And yes atm everyone is able to see them. This will change this year as usernames are coming. The phone number will from then on only be used for verification and stored encrypted
- I have three devices: Phone (Android), Tablet (Android) and PC (Linux). All of the messages get synchronized properly and almost instantly
- I don't know what you mean by this exactly but I think you mean that the official Signal server doesn't support forked clients which is false if you take a look at Molly (which I'm using on my Tablet due to several reasons)
In terms of reliability in general I never experienced any issues with Signal. It works great even in bad internet connection scenarios.
Then they should aswell
