    Then it’s weird they are fixing it now. Why aren’t they insisting this doesn’t need to be dealt with because it was a feature, not a bug?

      It’s weird that apps sometimes change scope and add features that users want? Ones that contributers already did most of the work for?

      Why aren’t they insisting this doesn’t need to be dealt with because it was a feature, not a bug?

      That was literally what they have been saying this whole fucking time.

      “The database key was never intended to be a secret. At-rest encryption is not something that Signal Desktop is currently trying to provide or has ever claimed to provide,” responded the Signal employee.

        Did they make an intentional design choice which users should have been okay with like you said the first time or is this a feature users wanted? It can’t be both.

      It’s really fucking annoying how relentlessly you pick fights with people these days. Wish you’d chill out dude.

          Not picking a fight; don’t really care what you have to say in response. Just needed to share my observation that you are latching onto people in a really aggressive manner in multiple threads as of late. If that doesn’t bother you then go ahead and disregard.
