so tired of #signal app. How can I criticize it when I’ve never used it I would like to use it. I would like to use it very much. However I don’t own a smart phone. Which means I can’t register a desktop app which intern means I can’t use signal as even trying to create a virtual I machine running, android to download the mobile app to register my desktop app. Which failed. I don’t care how much you improve it until you’re actually inclusive. Signal is not a good app. You might also want to think about who are the people they don’t have access to their own smart phone. Think about other ways for users to register without a smart phone please. (running macos desktop)
@Yishay yes, that's a big downside with Signal and something I really hope they will improve. In addition to people who don't have a smartphone, there are also people who use a different smartphone than iOS or Android, like various GNU-like #MobileLinux variants, for them Signal is also difficult to use.
I avoid iOS and Android phones for privacy reasons. Signal is supposed to be good for privacy, then it should work to easily register an account without iOS or Android.
The two best smartphones I own. Not the fastest, most powerful, or most expensive. They are the best and most precious to me because those devices can run PostmarketOS. #gnomemobile#postmarketos#mobilelinux
No manual editing this time, but an automatic postprocessing script using darktable-cli and rudimentary lens corrections. Takes ~30 sec to develop on the phone - about ten times longer than the default script used by Millipixels, but with much better results. #shotonlibrem5#librem5#mobilelinux#linuxmobile#photography
#BitRitter now has support to open links from the detail page (or copy them). Also, Custom fields are shown on the detail page.
To smooth the overall experience, i got a basic search filter working, so you don't have to scroll to your desired #VaultWarden entry.
So my Pixel 3a's #LineageOS install decided to brick itself today... any cool ROMs to try out that support AMOLED mode?
I was also considering mobile Linux, though I do really depend on Discord notifications due to my university; unsure how well that would work...
My 72 year old mother is in a hospital right now. I had to make and take all sorts of phone calls lately, just to manage things like insurance and care facilities.
It got me thinking about Linux phones. In this current time I couldn't use something like @postmarketOS because even missing a single call can cause huge difficulties and delays right now.
I really hope calls can be made more reliable in the future. 🙏
If that is not happening, then why, what is stopping you?
The (wrong and silly) assumption that everyone must use Google/Apple phones is expected from Big Tech these days but you are supposed to be among the good guys. Please help us be free from Google/Apple 🙂
