I guess that would explain the difficulties some apps face without push notifications and releasing APKs. These big companies want you to rely on their systems. Signal was pushing their app through play store. I don't know if an equivalent exists, but it really needs to. We need this, combined with f-droid, so we don't have to use spyware like the Play Store.
Signal does in fact distribute an APK that isn't dependant on Play Services/FCM on their website. Uses a websocket, so not the most elegant way I guess, but oh well.
It's rather hidden, which I think is disappointing. But it exists. Updates itself, too.
Use Molly, its a hardened version of signal app without push notification. It uses locally notifications.
And wind up dehydrated in jail again?
What's a little dehydration and imprisonment when you can have that afterglow, though
What is that supposed to mean? Is it a reference to something?
drug joke, I think
I'll bring the blow pops, who's got the Vicks?
Not only am I not your pops, you really shouldn't mix those.
Whoah, roll in grass, dude
We're rollin' grass now, too?
Tall grass is very cool if you're feeling hot and dehydrated
I understand eating it is good for an upset stomach, if a friend of mine who licks his own ass is too be believed.
Doesn't do us much good inside a jail cell, tho.
You can have push notifications, right now there's a unified push fork on the same Molly F-droid repository
