@cherti Love your enthusiasm but sorry, what you say now is just not true. If you use #Signal #desktop #client you are regularly required to log back to your #smartphone #app. And yes, #smartphones are generally less safe #platform compared to #desktop where users have better control over their #hardware, #operating #system, #applications, incoming-outgoing #traffic etc. support.signal.org/hc/en-us/ar

Sorry, not sure I can follow your arguments here. #Signal has #developed a #desktop #application. They already have #invested all that #money and #effort and it has nothing to do with desktop being or not being a primary #platform. However, for using the desktop app, Signal requires #registration and constant #call-back to their #smartphone app. With all the respect, none of your arguments are explaining that behaviour. It's not about what user prefer, it's about something else.

Can't help to wonder why does #Signal push their #smartphone version so hard? Smartphones are the least #secure #platforms for personal messaging, with a long and ugly track record of #privacy #violations, however it's very hard to register, install or use Signal without using a smartphone. Even if the #desktop #application is used, it requires constantly going back and forth to the smartphone version. That's weird for a privacy oriented service. Is there something fishy going on under the hood?

Ha! I just posted a few days ago that I am back with #Wayland on my #Kubuntu #2404 #desktop and things are working, mostly. Well... I am back on #X11. I was on it editing some pictures on #Digikam and then the ram and CPU maxed out, I couldn't even get into virtual terminal and had to hard reboot. Plus size is that #KDEconnect works. For whatever reason, KDE Connect could not see my phone while on Wayland?!
Oh well, I'll leave it for now and give it another try on #2604 haha.
