Signal works fine on degoogled LineageOS, so I'm not sure that's true.","comments":[{"id":46677082,"user":"fsflover","time":1768817209,"time_ago":"a month ago","type":"comment","content":"

LineageOS is Google's Android. Try to run Signal on a Pinephone.","comments":[{"id":46678632,"user":"JCattheATM","time":1768828494,"time_ago":"a month ago","type":"comment","content":"

You can use linux clients just fine, like gurk, which I linked you in another comment.","comments":[{"id":46682187,"user":"fsflover","time":1768845164,"time_ago":"a month ago","type":"comment","content":"

AFAIK I must connect it to Android or iOS before I can use it.","comments":[{"id":46682316,"user":"JCattheATM","time":1768845603,"time_ago":"a month ago","type":"comment","content":"

I don't think so, you could use the official Linux build as far as I know. I think it needs a phone number but not necessarily a mobile device. I might be wrong though.","comments":[{"id":46689109,"user":"fsflover","time":1768896050,"time_ago":"a month ago","type":"comment","content":"

It required to scan the QR code from a "mobile" app last time I tried.

Are you against using an Android (or LineageOS) emulator to do so?

You pop up in a lot of threads I'm interested in and seem to say a lot of incorrect things, that's all.","comments":[{"id":46702840,"user":"fsflover","time":1768985377,"time_ago":"a month ago","type":"comment","content":"

1. It's annoying and inconvenient.

2. It's the result of an artificial restriction by Moxie, for which I can't see any good reason, making me suspicious. In my opinion, this is basically an attack on true mobile freedom.

3. I do not believe in a good app isolation of Waydroid, so I would prefer to use as rare as possible. I also do not trust Android too much. And I will have to run two Signal apps simultaneously.","comments":[],"comments_count":0,"level":6,"url":"item?id=46702840"}],"comments_count":1,"level":5,"url":"item?id=46691879"}],"comments_count":2,"level":4,"url":"item?id=46689109"}],"comments_count":3,"level":3,"url":"item?id=46682316"}],"comments_count":4,"level":2,"url":"item?id=46682187"}],"comments_count":5,"level":1,"url":"item?id=46678632"}],"comments_count":6,"level":0,"url":"item?id=46677082"}],"comments_count":7,"url":"item?id=46663719"}
