It would've taken you less time to Google, but sure: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/signal-fixes-... Send a GIF to Contact A, Contact B receives random private images? Absolutely inexcusable slop code project. This class of state management bugs should not be possible with a well-architected client, period. Signal's E2E encryption is more like End 2 Random End.
Or why not include the source of your claim up front? From GitHub comments: https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Android/issues/10247 Greyson: > Hi there, sorry, this issue was fixed in 5.17 (which hit 100% production on 7/21) They had a difficult to reproduce problem reported in late December 2020, and got the fix rolled out seven months later. Not sure your criticism "absolutely inexcusable slop code" is well consid…
So 7 months of their users getting rinsed by an extremely serious issue exposing your private photos to random contacts. Seems like slop code to me. Those kinds of state management bugs should not be possible. It indicates code divorced from best practice state management.
Knowing that bug COULD exist, means that you cannot be sure that messages you send in Signal will make it to the recipient you intend given the poor quality. This means the E2E encryption is fundamentally broken, by the way. Because the client is lying to you about the true state of who it's about to send to.
The recipient text has fundamentally zero relationship to the true recipient of the message given that bug.
Having the UI and message sending code reference two different versions of state is incredible incompetence.

>Its easier to use the thing you already have than it is to make something new. Is that really difficult to understand? I asked which is easier to make . This is, evidently, an extremely difficult question to understand. >Whaaaa I thought you just told me a phone number is such an incredibly hard and challenging thing to get, now you're telling me anyone can easily get them anytime they want? >So phone numbers are in…
> I asked which is easier to make . Which is easier to make? The one I don't even have to make, I already have. Which pizza is easier to make, the premade pizza that's already ready to eat and is right in front of you, or the pile of ingredients in the pantry and fridge? Uhh...the pizza in front of you ready to eat? Put it on a plate and eat, it's there, it's ready to go. And practically everyone already bought their…

My condolences to any children who have to interact with you.
>You now owe me 20,000,000,000,000,000,000EUR, but since I'm not an actual cyberstalker, I won't be chasing you down to collect. So relax. Such a useless thing to add to the conversation.
Nah chill, I'll be there shortly with the money.

Obtaining your first id is obviously difficult. But so is obtaining your first computer. If you’re on good terms with your government, obtaining the id is easier. That’s really the key. Sure if you focus on hostile states this stuff all makes sense. If you’re insistent on hiding from authorities then many things become much more difficult, by design.
That's not what I asked.
You asked the wrong question. Sorry if you still don’t understand why. Seems others are also trying to help you understand but maybe you don’t want to.

Oh, so there are "wrong questions" now? Yeah, I guess I'll have to get better at asking those real quick.

They're taking about paying for full time developers.
Where am I reading this wrongly? > approximately $65,000 in donations. This is enough to maintain critical Session infrastructure for the next 90 days. We are extremely grateful for the support Session has received from the community, but unfortunately this is not sufficient to retain full-time developers. As a result, all paid staff and developers will have their final working day on April 9, 2026. After this date,…
