Signal devs just close RFEs for tablets as linked devices? Why?

@oleksandr I'm really not a fan of signal as a whole. The desktop app sucks, it's web app crap but they refuse to offer an actual website or any way to have it, there's security theatre the whole time which makes it so much less useful and then everybody acts as if they're holy warriors of security and you're not allowed to criticise.

I got a load of shit for mentioning it last time, and so now I don't use the desktop app, and I only use signal for people who insist on not using whatsapp, and I often miss their messages so

@ljs @oleksandr Yeah but have you ever tried using IRC on the London Underground*? Somehow even I have to admit that WhatsApp has done something right. (And I mean both the communication protocol but also the UX so you know what's happening to your messages.)

*) for those that don't know, there's no reception on the deep tube lines, but there's WiFi at every station, so you have like half a minute to get your phone to connect and do something

@ljs @oleksandr the phone app is fucking malware.

i remember trying it out. it spammed my contacts without my consent, then told me it will be draining my battery because i dared not to have google play services and finally threatened it will stop working unless i install a different version. wtf

@lkundrak By modern standards, if it doesn't offer cryptocurrencies and AI, it's fine. But it offers cryptocurrencies, I suppose, so it is not fine.

@oleksandr because GitHub is for bugs, https://community.signalusers.org is for feature requests. :)

@cherti There are respective FRs raised on the community forum too.

@oleksandr Those should still be open, right?
But there you go, the GitHub issue is both a duplicate and the wrong location.

@cherti Doesn't change the fact that there's no reaction on the community forum, and it's not addressed silently either.
