I'm aware that it was marketing. I was trying to make the point that if it were really so dangerous, they wouldn't have released it at all, (prompt injectable) "safeguards" or otherwise.

I thought they said mythos was too dangerous to make generally available?

well, sure, and I support that...I was purely trying to address the realisticness(?) of the request that it not happen anymore. possibly the wrong forum, my bad.

that was precisely my point: I care, we care, but sadly the spammers won't. disappointed to see it came off otherwise, I apologize.

to be clear: OP, I am rooting for you!

my sincere(!) sympathies, but realistically this won't reach anyone relevant. best of luck in the job search.

you don't understand why pre-rolled critical backup solutions might be appealing to (especially non-technical) people?

also, you pay per-GB. the author is on backblaze's unlimited plan.

I can see why that would be incredibly frustrating. Have you reported it to them, either via github or email?

I primarily use a nearly-bottom end android phone that's a few years old and just recently switched to an even older, even lower end android phone that is six years old. Neither has that issue.

Obviously, I'm not really claiming that it's not possible people are experiencing this issue, but it can't possibly be widespread.

I feel like most likely people are using android skins that aggressively kill apps in the background.

possibly. the problem, though, is that 85% of signal's users would A. hate it and B. not know how to shut it off (even if you told them). that's part of the problem with trying to deliver security to the masses (and similar to the backup problem that they used to have).

fwiw, as far as I can remember, the signal foundation's position has always been "once someone has physical access to your device, all bets are off."
