No Telegram can do registration with just a simple text message + pc, no need of smartphones just simple dumb phone
But you need a simcard with this emulator to connect to signal, here I'm talking about getting a text message and then still have a signal account, or even better : only having an account but wirh email or norhing. I think it's not possible to have signal work the way you describe.
Anyone knows about creating easily a signal account without smartphone ? Telegram does that and I have tremondous people that would use that instead of whatsapp/telegram and that don't understand matrix or even Mattermost 😭

Just for information, I tried to lpadmin ppd file only, but had a problem with missing filter file, if someone's from debian/ubuntu based distro struggles like me (error shown by cups ui : /usr/lib/cups/filter/rastertotmtr not available: No such file or directory) just asks here and I'll give you people the right file I guess.
lpadmin will be different after -v because we have different printers/usb stuff ?lpadmin -p TM-20-3 -v usb://EPSON/TM-T20III?serial=583741561792370000 -P ppd/tm-ba-thermal-rastertotmtr-203.ppd -Elpadmin -d TM-20-3lp BAT.pdf -o media=Custom.69x65mm -o orientation-requested=5 -o TmtSpeed=4lp -d TM-20-3 BAT.pdf -o media=Custom.69x65mm -o orientation-requested=5 -o TmtSpeed=4*%Head speed settings.

Context of this ?
I don't get it !
isn't supposed to be super high voltage to work ? or maybe this would be super slow ?
Nobody here talks about keepassxc ? I've been using it for almost a decade, it can be used with sync tools to be shared, I've managed to have db keepass file opened on several computers and it did work well. Gplv3 here https://keepassxc.org/
Makes me think of this video of the geneticist Albert Jacquard that tries to show how ideas will always be in the commons. How it's impossible for people to own a concept of an idea, using the example of "it's impossible to tell who saw the rainbow the first to own its concept".
It's in french but it's a total masterclass, I should translate it someday : https://effingo.be/2011/05/22/albert-jacquard-demonte-le-concept-de-propriete-intellectuelle/
Still, 750 is totally not a small company, also they manage and host matrix/element, that are way more edgy in terms of technology, takes a LOT of time only for maintenance if you have bigs rooms :

Choices are not neutrals and I don't know what I would do at their seats, but I think it's a bit sad that mozilla invest more into matrix/element instead political opinion makers like these social network xitter alternatives, fediverse & all <3
Maybe I don't know shit and maybe Mastodon is also a heavy mess to selfhost !
Back-end developper ?
If we want to have the bigger picture we'll also need to read this about rethinkDns :
Is this a free service?
On-device firewall is free. The in-the-cloud Rethink DNS content-blocking resolver has both free (public beta) and paid tiers (private beta). Currently, pricing isn't implemented and so the private beta is essentially also free till then.
From faq : https://rethinkdns.com/faq Not here about arguing, people need to eat and live under a roof ofc, even in foss communities, but I think people need to know about it before installing & be dependant to its (for the moment free) features.
So you can have signal desktop on pc and activate it from there with a phone that only receives SMS ? I have a few people to tell so they can try then because this is a huge step for non-smartphone users. If anyone have a source on this btw I would be happy to read it !
