Working on an audio port at https://github.com/ottohg/pokeemerald-wasm, and I've gotten pretty far. It's working, but there are just accuracy and instrument issues that need to be sorted out before it's in a playable state.
This is affecting lots of users (myself included) and has prompted an official status page update, so it's very much real for users, but I guess only on claude.ai. Are you using Claude models through something/someone else?
Signal is a walled garden and might even leave the EU soon. Of course if that happens, XMPP clients will also be harder to get, but at least I will always have full control over my XMPP server.
The question is - how do you intend to verify whether an application is official or unofficial? What's stopping the official application to be 'patched' with a fake signature feigning validity?
