📣THREAD: It’s surprising to me that so many people were surprised to learn that Signal runs partly on AWS (something we can do because we use encryption to make sure no one but you–not AWS, not Signal, not anyone–can access your comms).
It’s also concerning. 1/

PSA: we're aware that Signal is down for some people. This appears to be related to a major AWS outage. Stand by.

Python 3.14:
We'll release rc2 early on Thursday, and add an rc3 on 2025-09-16.

The ABI isn't changing, and wheels built for rc1 should still work.
