@aral@whispersystems Whatever that app is or does, looks like a nonstarter - literally! -
@lmbrownlee1 Signal is probably about the only example we have of a usable private messaging app for mere mortals…@whispersystems -
@aral@whispersystems I've been hearing about Signal (probably from your Tweets?) and will try it if I have messages I need to keep private. -
@aral@whispersystems I have phased out work that requires encryption. It is not safe here to take those risks.

@aral@whispersystems What’s up with the@google account? Using Google goes against the point of using Signal.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@aral You need a Google account to join the beta. Beta channels are managed via Google groups in the Chrome webstore. -
@whispersystems@aral then my follow up question becomes: Chrome webstore! Why? -
@bonq@whispersystems@aral Same reason releases on iOS and Android are only through the official stores, I'd guess. -
@sschinke@whispersystems@aral know the reason why now. Total idiotics. - 1 more reply
