Signal is developing a standalone desktop app without requiring a smartphone for setup or use, based on recent open-source code changes. 🖥️
The update adds more desktop controls while keeping end-to-end encryption, improving device independence with a privacy-first design. 🔐

Is there any point in encrypting a virtual server disk?
When needed, a hosting provider can just take a RAM dump and extract the encryption key, or at least regexp-match interesting files from the page cache, right?
Also, how much is the performance / resource usage overhead of a full-disk encryption?

Tenable's Q1 2026 earnings call wasn't just a revenue story. Buried in the executive commentary was a signal worth paying attention to: exposure management is replacing point-in-time vulnerability scanning as the operational standard.

Anyone asserting encryption is a tool for crime is either painfully misinformed or is attempting to manipulate legislators to gain oppressive power over the people.
Encryption is not a crime,
encryption is a shield.
Encryption protects you from cyberattack, identity theft, discrimination, doxxing, stalking, sexual violence, physical harm, and much more.
For safety, for privacy, for democracy, and for all our human rights, it's critical that we defend our right to encryption.

Canadians!
Another reminder that these bills are rapidly progressing through the chambers. Bill C-12 passed while Bills C-8, C-9, and S-209 passed their first chambers and are rapidly progressing through their second chambers.
If these bills weren't bad enough, the Canadian government is trying to rush a bill that's essentially the United States' FISA and CLOUD Act rolled into one: C-22, the Lawful Access Act.
C-22's guardrails protecting encryption are extremely flimsy and easily bypassed (i.e. the definition of a "systematic vulnerability" won't be legally defined until after the bill is passed).
Please call your Senators and House of Commons Reps ASAP!
If you live in Canada, sign the petition against C-22: https://www.internetsociety.org/our-work/internet-policy/keep-canada-protected/

SUB13: A lane-racer where you need to keep a high speed by picking up speed boost power-ups. Keep as high speed as possible, but do not go above 12. If you do, you will lose speed instead. Beat the 4 opponents and enjoy the psychedelic visuals and chill music!
if you play it in a group with friends your finishing position in the race will be shared with the group members!

No, #BitLocker is not a real #encryption, as it has #Govware #backdoors!

EU Chat Control drops mandatory encryption-breaking scans — huge privacy win after years of resistance! 🎉
But now pushes mandatory age verification across apps, risking anonymity while letting Big Tech "voluntarily" scan. Fight continues in trilogues. 🛡️

1/2 🚨 Today, the European Parliament is holding a public hearing on "lawful access to data for law enforcement." This hearing will platform the Commission and Europol's relentless attack on end-to-end #encryption.
We're heard this before: "lawful access" = encryption backdoors = #MassSurveillance ❌
✊🏾 We need EU lawmakers to #KeepItSafeAndSecure #KISS 🔒
