Pray, how do I login to the same account on my second phone? Or do you mean you can link multiple computers to the account on your phone? In which case, I'm not running that on my old laptop.
Edit: I'll answer my own question:
Multiple mobile devices ... are not currently supported.

Well, that's news to me.
Signal app size 165MB. Conversations: 42MB.
I can't message someone on Signal without installing Signal or Molly which also uses Signal servers, which has to be trusted on good faith (can't run my own). Ergo a walled garden just like Whatsapp.
I can't register with just a username & password. I have to trust their PR saying they don't store my ph #.
US has some of the worst legislation when it comes to privacy; when the agencies decide they want your data, Signal will not be allowed to tell you. And don't give me the bs line that they only store 3 pieces of info about you. Unless you've built their server software you don't know what they collect am store.
I use Signal. It's the in thing in my circles.
The desktop version cannot be used independently; you still need to make and maintain an account on a smart phone. Also the desktop version uses crazy memory. It's a pos. I no longer use it. Also you're limited to 2 devices: one phone & one comp. I sync my xmpp chats between 3 or 4, depending.
This is what I would do.
Yes, very well.
Yea, nah. Say what you want about X, but Meta is in a whole other league than X. In my communities it's monopolising to a large degree:
amongs others. All essential services that Meta took over one by one.
X on the other hand is just a micro-blogging platform.
I'm just saying you're making a big deal out of nothing. Have a good night now.
again, gender-neutral wording like they/them don't say anything about gender or her own identity. 'They' does not refer to a third gender. I'm not demanding anything from her. You're the one who brought up using the correct pronouns. So I expect you to be familiar with English grammar.
I think your language-policing is ridiculous. You can't expect someone unfamiliar with a situation to be up-to-date with how to affirm someone's gender correctly. Gender-neutral language functions as a safe fall-back in such situations. You can rightfully expect people to not misgender people. You cannot be rightfully offended at people using gender-neutral language. The only person I'm making demands of currently is you, because you're making this discussion unnecessarily hostile.

Open access to information is essential for good decision-making, genuine engagement in democratic government, and combatting corruption.
I would like to acknowledge today is International Access to Information Day and share why this year's theme is so important.
This year's theme highlights the importance of online spaces for access to information.
We all spend more time online. Ensuring equity of access to information in an accessible format is critical.
The Albanese Government is firmly committed to transparency and accountability, to ensure we have better government for all Australians.
