• Send notification when a Telegram message is received. Which libraries are needed ?

  Hmm I had some experience with Telegram bots. So if the case is that you just need the notification about new message to the stdout of the command line, I would suggest Telethon library. It acts as usual client, therefore it's not a bot and you don't have to register it at BotFather. Yet you'll have to create an application for https://my.telegram.org/apps and get credentials from there. Also check out unofficial... Source: over 1 year ago

• "Send to Telegram" action for Nemo File Manager in Linux

  Check this out then https://github.com/vysheng/tg. Source: over 2 years ago

• Is there a way to disable HW acceleration for QT apps?

  Fair enough, that seems to be the best course of action. From the Telegram website they list this unofficial CLI app, guaranteed this one won't take any GPU resources. Source: over 2 years ago

• [Feature Request] Limit/disable/remove option to delete chats on both ends

  I tried a couple of those projects (to even somehow script them to make it automatic/daily) but no use. There is https://github.com/vysheng/tg which I was able to use to connect to telegram but trying to use https://github.com/tvdstaaij/telegram-history-dump/ failed with exception (mostly because of Ruby).

• How to be social in the terminal

  In this case, we are lucky. We have a well-supported CLI application, telegram-cli. To try this, after installing, run:. - Source: dev.to / about 3 years ago

• What are you shocked people are still doing nowadays?

  Signal works the same but without the user tracking from Meta/Facebook. Many people use it as well but I'm surprised that a majority sticks to WhatsApp. Source: 5 months ago

• A Practical Guide For Safety And Reporting Crimes For Our Community

  A question I often get is "Well are my text messages safe" The short answer is... Maybe? Depends on what type of phone you use, your carrier, and a bunch of other factors. One way to avoid this is to use an end-to-end encrypted text service like Signal if that is a concern of yours. VERY IMPORTANT NOTES: Telegram and WhatsApp are not secure. The way to think of this security is that if is retained by a server... Source: 5 months ago

• Signal Public Username Testing (Staging Environment)

  The linked page is on signalusers.org, but Signal's regular home site is https://signal.org/. I'm looking all over signal.org for some link from there to signalusers.org, as that would make me more relaxed about the authenticity of the latter -- i.e., that it really is run by the same people who run signal.org. Yes, maybe I'm being paranoid. But we're talking about an app whose whole purpose is secure... - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Breaking Global Communication Barriers

  WhatsApp and Signal: Of course I’m going to conclude with the point to point encrypted communication apps Signal and WhatsApp. Most of our clients around the world communicate in these apps more than they make phone calls or send emails. Set up an account in each app and start leveraging the text, photo, phone and video features to have easy and fast conversations with your global contacts. See https://signal.org...
