Ich spiele übrigens gerne mal mit #signalcli. Da bekommt man ganz gute Einblicke in die Funktionsweise von #Signal - und kann sogar einen account auf Festnbetznummern registrieren, z.B. um von Computern aus automatische Nachrichten zu versenden (a la "Alarm: Festplatte brennt"). 😇

@kdieter If installing #signalcli on desktop, just install the flatpak from flathub: https://flathub.org/en/apps/org.asamk.SignalCli

If on mobile #postmarketOS, install from Alpine repos: https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/package/v3.22/community/aarch64/signal-cli

@Berker @Sxan Community maintained #flatpak version with ARM builds here: https://signalflatpak.github.io/signal/

#SignalMessenger does not allow the desktop version to be your primary device, so mine is #SignalCLI https://flathub.org/en/apps/org.asamk.SignalCli on my desktop, and the L5 is a linked device.

Btw, it looks like official ARM builds of #SignalDesktop will be available soon but for Debian-based distros only.

@kdieter In case you're not able to link, let me know what you're trying to do? What is your main device?

If you're using #signalcli as your primary, you can convert the device linking QR code from #SignalDesktop to a link and send to your primary device.

@donalddotcat @pi_crew Yes, #signalcli can be used to register an account on Linux (desktop or mobile).
