Signal is finally tightening its desktop client's security by changing how it stores plain text encryption keys for the data store after downplaying the issue since 2018.

I really don’t understand why so many people like Signal. It’s an utter piece of shit in terms of UX, has questionable security practices, harvests phone numbers, and it’s located on a central server in US.
