My point was that apart from the Macs, there is no single system keychain Signal could use. What they do is perfectly normal and expected on a desktop OS.

Either multiple different keychains or even you can have no keychain-like application in your system at all.

The WiFi passwords are usually stored in /etc/NetworkManager as plain files. Granted, they are not accessible directly by non-root users as they are being managed by the NetworkManager daemon, but there is nothing generic for such a thing. Signal rolling a similar daemon for itself would be an overkill. The big desktop environments (GNOME, KDE...) usually have their own keychain-like programs that the programs provided by these environments use, but that only solves this problem for the users of these specific environments.

To me it's perfectly expected the Signal encryption keys are readable by my user account.

There is no single keychain on Linux, and supposedly on Windows too. Signal would need to either support a few dozens of password managers or require a specific one, both options terrible in their own way. This isn't something that can be done without making broad assumptions about the user's system.

What keychain exactly?

Did the Epstein island rebrand?

So basically Arch?

I guess if that's how it works for you, sure. For me it's upvote if funny, nothing if meh and downvote if downright malicious (bigotry, toxic behavior etc.). I don't think I gave out more than 10 downvotes on Lemmy during this whole year. Though I can see how this post might qualify for the "bigotry or toxic" category, but I'm willing to give it a benefit of doubt.

That being said, if you have a different policy, who am I to judge.

If you feel the need to downvote everything merely not deserving an upvote, then yes, you need to chill.

Definitely not true, but still a hilarious meme. People downvoting this need to chill.

They’re free to change the licence of future versions.

Only if they are still the only contributor. Once you have more contributors, it gets far tougher to change the licence.

It's a nice wallpaper though for what it's worth.
