    That’s the point of digitally signing the app, to ensure its authenticity and integrity. TM and others wouldn’t be able to resign the modified app with the Signal Foundation signature.

    EDIT: Yeah after thinking more about it it’s not a trivial problem, as you need to assume that the endpoint is inherently untrusted.

    At the moment you can’t. The only realistic way I could see that happening is the the server would check the app digital signature and refuse the app from communicating with the official infrastructure if it didn’t match.














  • Plastic packaging has its use so it won’t completely go away, but there is plenty of effort to be made to eliminate single-use plastic.

    I wish more stores would sell product in bulk that allow using your own reusable containers. Once you get used to it, it’s not a lot of trouble to carry those with you while shopping, and it really makes a difference in the amount of stuff you put in the recycle bin and garbage can each week.
