If @signalapp put up a crowd-sourced project fund to create a native app for linux (to support the many linux phone initiatives), I guarantee it would be funded quickly.

#signal #linux #linuxphone #privacy

@tinker @signalapp This, but also: I'd rather have signal-cli integrated well with a single user-facing app that lets me communicate with people regardless of what platform they're on. That's how the UX should be on a real Linux phone that's not trying to be a billboard for capitalist "apps".

@tinker @signalapp IMHO porting #Deltachat would be simpler, because it doesn't care about the phone number/SIM card, SMS verification, etc.

@tinker @signalapp I admit, Signal's phone number requirement is definitely causing hesitation with me.

@d1 @tinker @signalapp
You can register Signal in a Android Vm. it doesnt care about a local sim card. Only recieving sms is important.

@Catwoman69y2k @tinker @signalapp It's hostile to privacy, you really should consider #DeltaChat instead

If Molly is a third party app compatible with signal, what's stopping a different third party from just making a signal compatible app?

@tinker @signalapp Isn't there one already? Or what am I running on my Manjaro system? (Package is called signal-desktop.)
