There’s been some chatter about Signal desktop recently, so let’s clear the air. Three points:

1. The reported issues rely on an attacker already having *full access to your device* — either physically, through a malware compromise, or via a malicious application running on the same device. This is not something that Signal, or any other app, can fully protect against. Nor do we ever claim to.

2. We continue working to harden our desktop build across supported operating systems and take advantage of new platform capabilities as they emerge. Those of you following our repo can follow this work there.

Sure, but gosh... That whole deal is kinda dumb. Why would you not think that is a good idea?

because the desktop app is electron garbage, no confidential stuffs should be done like that. But frankly the android app is far better in terms of design and code quality, I'll trust it with my data

That kinda sucks. Geez.

What about the third point??
