> The phones already exist; now it's up to users to adopt them and, if necessary, improve them to match their needs.
That's a pretty elitist view. Not every person is a developer, and non-develoepers deserve privacy and choice just as developers and techies do.
Closing Android will make it much, much harder for F-Droid and independent app developers to reach its audience; and conversely for the audience to discover independent software, which might turn them into supporters.
@rysiek @dos @mebbie I'm a non-developer daily driving #postmarketOS on a #Librem5. Eveything important works including VoLTE calls, SMS, Wi-Fi, 4G, web browsing, web apps, #e2ee messaging and calls on #Signal, Matrix, XMPP and #DeltaChat, GPS, camera, etc.

In short, the problem here is not that Signal ‘chose’ to run on AWS. The problem is the concentration of power in the infrastructure space that means there isn’t really another choice: the entire stack, practically speaking, is owned by 3-4 players. 11/
I've been using #Signal from the very beginning (TextSecure times), and I've been advocating Signal a lot.
But the centralized architecture, instead of a federated decentralized approach is something I never liked. Also the focus on BigTech platforms (IOS, Android) is something I do not like. I'm using a #Librem5 #Linux phone, but there is no official primary client for Linux.
Still, I'm donating, but I would appreciate addressing centralism and #BigTech dependency.
@opensourceopenmind @hellomiakoda
I use a #Librem5 as my daily phone. What I like a lot is that it is just a #Linux computer where I've freedom and where I'm in control.
On my recent Librem 5's GPS works well.
#PureOS ( #Debian based) will soon get an upgrade. See also:

@hellomiakoda Perhaps consider #Librem5, #LibertyPhone, or #MNTPocketReform with #GOnnect...? All of them should connect to Ethernet but they're ARM devices, not x86-64.
Dear @Mer__edith and the the amazing @signalapp team,
After the last update, the Signal "desktop app" is requiring us to launch the mobile app - however, many of us do not have the Android or any other "mobile" version of the Signal app any more.
We are a large (by our standards) group of #Linux phone users, and your "desktop" app is our "mobile" app : )
Our previous phones on which #SignalApp was initially activated was an Android or Apple device and we have since then completely migrated to #Linuxphones. Some of us may have registered Signal on #signalcli, Flare, #Molly, Signal Android in #WayDroid, etc.
The #mobileLinux community is growing - we have members spanning a good number of projects and devices, e.g.
- @purism #Librem5 and #LibertyPhone running #Debian-based #PureOS #GnuLinux, #Alpine-based #PostmarketOS or #Mobian,
- @PINE64 #Pinephone and PP Pro running #ManjaroARM, #SailfishOS, etc.
- @furilabs #FLX1 running #Droidian-based #FuriOS,
- a wide variety of Android phones (including OnePlus 6, Google Pixel 3, #Fairphone 4 & 5) running #Alpine-based @postmarketOS ,
- @volla , #Fxtec and #Brax3 devices running #UbuntuTouch by @ubports,
- devices running @mobian which is part of #Debian project, etc.
[Apologies to any project I may have failed to include - you are all appreciated]

I erred in selecting Android as my mobile device platform.
That's the nub of it.
The haunting spectre of Google looms closer.
Remedying my error is going to be tough. It will require significant compromise on my part. For some things, I just don't have an answer.
But to stay with it any longer, without focussing on the escape plan, feels foolish.
Anyway, happy Saturday.
@Tutanota Linux mobile is the only long term solution. I'm using @postmarketOS on a #Librem5 and all important things work for me.
#Furiphone #FLX1 and #Jolla2c can also be decent options for most people as they have Android app compatibility set up out of the box.
Received the #Cellbroadcast messages from Bundesweiter #Warntag 2025 on both #OnePlus6T and #Librem5 on #Phosh 0.49.
