Hoping someone out there can help me understand what's happening with Signal and its desktop implementations. Trying it out on phone with my partner as we de-bigtech and the reviews on flathub are brutal. But also from a while back. 1. Is plaintext passwords on desktop still the issue, 2. Are there workarounds? 3. How bad is the issue at all? For our personal stuff fine to stay on phone, but there's a big picture plan to move some professional work off WhatsApp to signal. #linux #fedora #signal
