👀 Signal Messenger of note-taking apps 🤓 aka 100% open source and free (as in freedom) note taking app focused on your experience and your privacy. 🔑🛡️notesnook.com PakistanJoined April 2021
Couldn't have said it better. I think the concept of "file-over-app" is inflated to mean, "it works everywhere" when in reality there's a lot of ifs and buts involved.
And that's okay. Obsidian is an app that has features requiring a certain kind of storage format that's not compatible with anything else...just like any other app.
Yes, the base format is Markdown and that's great but base format is not what makes Obsidian...obsidian. It's the plugins, the features, the canvas, the databases etc. You could write just markdown in which case why use Obsidian at all?

@signalvoyager@signalapp What's the mistake? Enabling notifications? This is not isolated to Signal. If it were then we'd have a problem. Every single app's notifications gets saved in a place and manner that is outside that app's control. There's no opt out. That is why Apple fixed it.
We are very happy that today Apple issued a patch and a security advisory. This comes following @404mediaco reporting that the FBI accessed Signal message notification content via iOS despite the app being deleted.
Apple’s advisory confirmed that the bugs that allowed this to

@signalvoyager If the OS is not secure, there's only so much you can do. AFAIK Signal did offer the option to disable/hide notification content. If your OS has a keylogger built-in, you can't really blame the apps you install for the secrets leaked.
Privacy and security on computing devices need to become far stronger to protect people from pervasive violations of their rights. Users have their privacy pervasively violated by corporations, criminals and governments. There are endless privacy and security weaknesses in
