CVE-2023-4863: Heap buffer overflow in WebP (Chrome)
It does, see [0]. Fun fact: Signal desktop, which uses Electron under the hood, is running without sandbox on Linux [1][2].

super choppy video streams
There was a issue opened on GitHub a while back apparently but that was closed due to inactivity. What you might want to do is either open a new issue directly in GitHub (provide as much information as possible and include debug logs) or just send them a support ticket via the support form (and include debug logs).
- Signal Desktop for Windows takes 30+ min to send messages. Phone app still works.

Desktop will have it https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Desktop/commit/9bfbee464bc307a9133ccf43042987343722afe9

Signal Desktop messaging app having trouble with IPv6
Issues have been ongoing for the past couple weeks. It's not clear if this is the client or backend. Dual stack works again with v6.20.2, but IPv6-only with NAT64 still doesn't. Actively being worked on, and hopefully some good learnings. Issue link thread: https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Desktop/issues/6439

IPv6 connectivity again with 6.20.1 Update
Alive again with 6.20.2 on Windows dual stack. Directly downloaded from https://signal.org/download/

- ARM-ed up w/ recent arrivals: SPX SQ2 16/512 & Project Volterra - great desktop/mobile combo!

Why doesn't Signal adopt Dennis Ameling's WOA build approach?
For years now Dennis Ameling has been producing Windows on ARM (WOA) builds for Signal. Do we know why Signal doesn't do this work for him? If one motivated developer can pull this off, it seems like the Signal team should be able to as well. It'd be nice to download an ARM build from the signal.org site directly.

Is there a way for me to use the Signal messaging app on a Chromebook?
Signal supports Linux x86 but not ARM (at this point). There is a Signal ARM version being developed and tested via GitHub - I guess it's experimental. I use it on my HP x2 11 and it's been fine for the most part. It's not super up-to-date like the main linux version is but it's still working.

Any way to use Signal from a Chromebook?
Me too, there is also a test arm version on GitHub: https://github.com/dennisameling/Signal-Desktop/releases/tag/linux-arm64-poc

Signal 5.27.1 for M1 Macs is out!
Special thanks to Dennis Ameling for all his work and patches to make this official. If you want to migrate from signal unofficial to signal official I posted a one line terminal command to copy everything over.

Signal desktop beta 5.27 appears to introduce native M1 macOS support
Looks like it's been in the works since at least June 2021: https://github.com/dennisameling/Signal-Desktop/releases

How to stop slow apps that steal focus multiple times during startup
For Signal, use this fork https://github.com/dennisameling/Signal-Desktop/issues/4

Signal won't support M1 Macs anytime soon, tell contributors to fuck-off
The community already done that: https://github.com/dennisameling/signal-desktop (working on Windows & Apple ARM). Still, I think it's a shame that all the work was done, ready to be merged (needed PRs were open) and Signal devs just shut the door on it.

Any update on the availability of 'for ARM processors' Signal Desktop app for Linux?
Using Dennis Ameling's fork of Signal on my M1Pro MBP works wonderfully. dennisameling / Signal-Desktop
