Since the Messenger Application on desktop is much closer to the usage model of the Texts.com client. We want to replicate the desktop client as closely as possible. It can be assu…

This only works on Android, we had no interest in intercepting the Android application.

Their Android application in particular allows the participation in a developer program which allows access to one of these menus. Not available on macOS and iOS unfortunately!

Fair! In that case, yes you totally have access to the payload before its encrypted.

Good question, Proxyman is the one I'm using in the writeup. It does route all application through it on macOS, and you can proxy iOS devices as well by installing a self-signed ce…

It acts as a linked device, and you are interfacing directly with Signal's servers with the same protocol that their desktop and mobile applications use.

Author here, for the record, I never said the problem was the imposition of processes, I know that is totally necessary, and was listing great "pluses" to Jira as a management tool…

Huge oversight on my part, I think I've beaten this horse to death though, and will probably leave the topic for the time-being.

Author here, was just Googling my post to figure out why it was suddenly getting tons of views. FWIW I love my job, not burned out, but yeah... dealing with Jira has been a serious…

Well put. Seriously.

It shouldn't hijack it, but you're the second to complain on this specific topic, so I went ahead and removed it on the blog post screens. I was initially trying to figure out if s…
