Tinker ☀️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.
Sven Bothe@tinker @signalapp Isn't there one already? Or what am I running on my Manjaro system? (Package is called signal-desktop.)
@SvenBothe @signalapp - Signal desktop (Windows, Mac, and Linux) is not a standalone app. It requires a phone to sync with. Right the only standalone native apps are for iOS and Android.
@tinker @signalapp Ah - got it. Thanks for the explanation!
Fossman@SvenBothe @tinker @signalapp Technically, #SignalDesktop does not require a phone to sync with.
It requires a primary device to sync with at least once every 30 days... that duration could have been reduced since I checked last.
My primary device is my Linux desktop running Signal-Cli from Flathub.
A phone number is required once to activate a new account - at registration time only - afaik, and I still hate that requirement, for the record.
