This entire article is guessing at hypothetical backdoors. Its like saying that AES is backdoored because the US government chose it as the standard defacto symmetrical encryption.
There is no proof that Signal has done anything nefarious at all.
Signal tells me which contacts in my contacts list has Signal. It also alerts me when someone in my contacts installs Signal.

SimpleX does not.
Nah you hit the nail on the head. I 100% agree with you. Sorry if I came off brash.
I know the recommendations. Im suggesting that everyone take a look at those practices and be sure to have them implemented.
If you’re not printing out the codes on paper and sticking them in a safe deposit box as a remote backup, you’re absolutely risking it.
Well thats a good way to lock yourself out of your account!

For the sony xperia, check out footnote 5:
On the samsung phones, click to show the full specifications. Then go down to the dust resistant spec and hover over the question mark.
Waiting for the phone model so I can pull up the specifications that will have this information. I don’t keep a list of phones that have a 3.5mm port on me.
I am sorry, I am unable to find any kind of video that shows the Asus Zenfone 10 IP68 test.

As well as a notice from Asus: https://www.asus.com/support/faq/1046136/
Read the footnotes on those sites, you silly goose…

I do occasionally get places where my email simply will not send to them, even though it follows every email standard properly and isnt blacklisted. For those rare occasions, ill use a third party email address to send, which then forwards everything to my main email.
