Idk if I understand. There's no more signal desktop 9n windows?
This is the tl;dr paragraph from the article:
With no API for blocking Recall in the Windows Desktop version, Signal is instead invoking an API Microsoft provides for protecting copyrighted material. App developers can turn on the DRM setting to prevent Windows from taking screenshots of copyrighted content displayed in the app. Signal is now repurposing the API to add an extra layer of privacy.
So Signal is still available on Windows.
I mean, is Microsoft truly going to stop at DRM labelled content? Now they claim they will, but I don't trust they will in the future.
Like the user "UserIDAlreadyInUse" in the article's comment section wrote:
And in the very next WIn11 update, Microsoft introduces an exception list to DRM blocking and wouldn't you know it, Signal is top-of-line in said list.
I certainly wouldn't trust Microsoft.
