  It's called telegram-desktop -_-' > apt install signal-desktop-beta Very nice. Too bad it doesn't exist. Making up package names doesn't magically bring them into existence. So, yeah.

      Do you not see any difference with this and "it's included in the distribution and vetted by a distribution developer"?
      • maqp 2y ago
        No. The way I see it, I'm downloading an open-source, *always* end-to-end encrypted desktop-application Signal from official repository, instead of downloading an open-source *never* end-to-end encrypted desktop-application Telegram from official repository. Having to add the ppa is 10 seconds of additional trouble. I'll live. Without end-to-end encryption, a lot of dissidents however, might not.

          10 seconds of additional trouble, a lifetime of root access to a 3rd party :)

            What? You have factual evidence Signal's apt repo is installing rootkits to people's computers? Let's see it.
            • guappa 2y ago
              I have factual evidence once you add it they have root access. I can't predict the future.

                So, you have nothing. Best of luck.
