Oh no! If only there was an alternative operating system!
And if only Signal would finally fucking move away from their phone centric model and offer proper desktop applications.
What's wrong with their desktop application? I remember using it 5 to 7 years ago and it seemed fine. I just found out to be weird to keep my text messages on a computer that anybody can see that might use my computer so I quit using the desktop version.
The desktop application is just a temporary web session in a box. You cant recover your account from it, so if you lose your phone, you will eventually lose access to your account and messages.
Why dont you have access restrictions on your computer? Literally any operating system allows you to just set a password...
My laptop is encrypted but once it's open I turn the password off because I just get tired of typing the password every time I sit down. I'm not too worried about people in my house digging into my laptop. Text messages OTOH, is a whole other level.
