Good luck getting grandma to install and use Graphene or Lineage on their 3 year old underpowered Samsung device that already works the way they know.

I think you’re making problems where there aren’t any. A device PIN or fingerprint along with Signal is probably way more secure than any family chat needs to be.

I imagine that most people’s families will find Singal easier than using a CLI program anyway. It’s rare to find an entire family without typical cellphones.

Signal is perfectly good under normal usage. Everything is unintuitive when it comes to extremes like losing your device.

This Grav?

I moved all of my domains to Porkbun when Google Domains started to close down or become SquareSpace or whatever they were doing.

No complaints so far.

Sorry for off-topic, but why do your comments end in a license link?

Most sensible way in my opinion would be for the Signal app to have a PIN and encryption on desktop, just like it already does on the mobile apps.

Yeah, we have separate profiles, but sometimes I just let him use some software on mine, like a game, or whatever, and then I go and do something else. The use-case is there, along with encrypted messages, but people say things like what you said because they don’t personally have that use-case.

I’d look at implementing it myself, but they wouldn’t merge it, and I’m not going to maintain a fork indefinitely.

Signal desktop doesn’t even have a PIN to unlock it. IIRC the reason was that if someone is already on your machine then you’re screwed.

I just want it to stop someone like my son, who may have access to my computer legitimately, from seeing some of the NSFW messages me and my friends send each other.
