Let’s create a comprehensive list of open-source software that everyone should know about!
I advise you to post any recommendations to the original post, I was just sharing it here so others can find it! I also wanna see those recs myself so that’s the motive for posting this 😅
Sure all family members dont have play services…
Also bullshit that Signals drains ram or battery, i wouldnt notice and never heard this before.
Maybe Signal drains battery when it can’t use Google Play Services for notifications and falls back to keeping a connection alive to Signal servers instead?
I have signal installer direct using obtanium, with the background connector enabled. I’ve not yet had an issue with it.
Im running grapheneos with molly foss (signal fork). I tried both notification deamons, Websocket and Selfhosted UnifiedPush. Both dont drain my battery at all.
Yeah thats the reason.
Then all messenger services would do that on their phone
Not necessarily. Some of them are able to use UnifiedPush so no need in a background service, and some of them (like Conversations) have background services whose battery use is negligeable.
I heard that before too. On calls, especially video calls
Yeah because video calls just use battery.
Its like saying my car is draining gas when i use it heavily. It just uses more when you use it heavily.
You mean when streaming video bandwidth, bidirectionally across the radio?
And encrypted. Im not surprised just heard it as a complaint
