Why tf is kde spending precious developer capacity with this?

Fedora atomic kde is close to perfect. Where is the need to reinvent the wheel?

My wish is to have Telegram clients and user experience (both mobile and in Linux desktop versions) with Signal security and whatsapp adoption.

Signal is a cool 2nd alternative to WhatsApp, but their desktop client is absolute garbage, their videocall echo cancelling is non-existent and sending media over slow connections absolutely sucks (it keeps on resending and resending the files)

One of the reasons why there are major security f-ups: no accountability and no consequences

They want to do this because they want more traction for their blockchain: TRON, which, IIRC, is the payment method for ads, usernames and "stuff" inside Telegram.

However Du Rove is right about a bunch of things:

- Signal clients suck, specially the Desktop one where they ship (or used to) pre-built binaries like their own lib: https://github.com/signalapp/ringrtc - Also you can't have Signal without Google Play Store - Signal client suck in usability. I wish I had Telegram client (android) and desktop (qt) instead of this electron garbage. Telegram clients are super-duper-awesome - I would say that removing phone number requirement is their #1 request. yet they take so much time to address it, specially when they cry about phone number validation SMS costs - BTW, telegram is implementing a very nice idea of a crowd sourced sms validation, where they use their users phone numbers to send the validation sms - They have a very questionable crypto integration with MobileCoin, which have a obscure value: they depend on IntelSGX and is 95% pre-mined

Will it be opensourced, like Llama2? or this is yet another closed-source LLM?

gladly we have meta and the newly recently created AI Alliance.

yet another browser. no, thank you. even worse that it is based in blink/chromium.

I would rather prefer they to lower their price than investing in this.
