Sadly, they still got to her Signal on her Desktop – her sources might still be compromised. It's sadly inherent to desktop applications, but I'm sad that a lot more people don't know that Signal for Desktop is much, much less secure against adversaries with your laptop.

If people don't have Signal set to delete sensitive messages quickly, then they may as well just be texting.

That's a strong statement. Also imho it's important that we use Signal for normal stuff like discussing where to get coffee tomorrow - no need for disappearing messages there.

Strong and accurate. Considering non-disappearing messages the same as texts is not the same thing as saying all Signal messages ought to be disappearing or else the app is useless.

Telegram allows you to have distinct disappearing settings for each chat/group. Not sure how it works on Signal, but a solution like this could be possible.
