The example you linked is about push notifications in general, nothing specific to the Signal app. If the concern is that your OS is compromised or spying on you, that's not something E2E encryption can protect against, whether it's Signal or any other app.
- fsflover 9mo ago> nothing specific to the Signal app The specific part is that Signal forces Google and Apple on its users, and forces the specific kind of push notifications, too.

- JCattheATM 9mo agoSignal works fine on degoogled LineageOS, so I'm not sure that's true.
- fsflover 9mo agoLineageOS is Google's Android. Try to run Signal on a Pinephone.
- JCattheATM 9mo agoYou can use linux clients just fine, like gurk, which I linked you in another comment.
- fsflover 9mo agoAFAIK I must connect it to Android or iOS before I can use it.
- JCattheATM 9mo agoI 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.
- fsflover 9mo agoIt required to scan the QR code from a "mobile" app last time I tried. (You really have a lot of free time to write unsubstantiated dismissals to all my posts.)
- JCattheATM 9mo ago> 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 really have a lot of free time to write unsubstantiated dismissals to all my posts.) You pop up in a lot of threads I'm interested in and seem to say a lot of incorrect things, that's all.
- fsflover 9mo ago> Are you against using an Android (or LineageOS) emulator to do so? 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.
