First, you're not wrong about Signal being insufficient against nation state adversaries. The Grugq has a nice talk about opsec that I can't seem to find atm.

First, you're not wrong about Signal being insufficient against nation state adversaries. The Grugq has a nice talk about opsec that I can't seem to find atm. He sums up the issues with Signal nicely in a Medium article. [1] That said, this particular development is a lot more than a puppy. It's at least a full grown, happy, friendly Golden Retriever who's already house trained and knows how to fetch your slippers. They've removed one of the biggest remaining weaknesses of their system, where they still required the users to "just trust" them. That's pretty cool, especially for the vast majority of us whose primary adversaries are smaller or profit-driven.
