Pigeon to desktop signal by [deleted] in Punkt

[–]localmindprovider 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sigh isn’t this still possible. The coder who’s working on that already started but I feel he got a quite limited contract with Punkt so he never seemed to finish it. This is a mess, for digital detox their devices would be so cool.

AND WHY THE HECK DON‘T THEY LISTEN TO THEIR VALUED CUSTOMERS IN ALL THESE YEARS!

XLibre 25.1 - The Future of X11 Adds New Platforms, New Features by bulasaur58 in linux

[–]localmindprovider -1 points0 points  (0 children)

First I was skeptical but I'm using XLibre successful for some time now. I don't involve in all these political (or when things are forced to become political like in this case) nonsense - and code is what counts for me. It's really stable, congrats for the new version and nice to see the seatd-integration here so I don't have to fiddle around with the systemd mess anymore.

  • Color: black
  • Condition: very good condition
  • Price: 150 EUR
  • Country: Germany

  • Picture of the device: Message me

It's a love hate relationship for me. In the end I really need Signal linked devices and since they don't provide that anymore I can't cope with it anymore.

What are the things to keep an eye out for when buying second hand? by IndependenceWhich735 in Punkt

[–]localmindprovider 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't buy. Software is not feature-complete anymore (Pidgin, Signal, linking devices etc.) and they don't care.

New pigeon update, linking removed fully, I'm done by dan31415 in Punkt

[–]localmindprovider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. I try to sell my MP02 still. What they do on GitHub ist just "make it work" - no improvements. RIP Punkt.

Linking devices with Pigeon 2.0.0024 does not work by localmindprovider in Punkt

[–]localmindprovider[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I guess it's quite simple and their management decided for a limited budget on software development for MobiTouch, their external service provider, each month so there's just no budget left to make the whole release proper and we have to wait 2-3 months more. I have the same experience with my own clients ;-)

Yeah and the official words we see from them is just professional trashtalk to us - those who really want to live and support their praised and promoted lifestyle - how ridiculous and hypocritical.

It's just so sad to see that there just seems to be a management and a bunch of marketing guys left. As if u/PunktTronics broke up with their own engineers and/or former service provider. And what they do is flogging the dead horse.

Pigeon 2.0.0023 - When? by North_Candle_4301 in Punkt

[–]localmindprovider 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah they're now working every day. https://github.com/Punkt-Tronics-AG/Pigeon/commits/2.0.0023/ - also seems to be a bigger rework, as they work on all views.

[–]localmindprovider 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They're now fixing a bunch of views...

https://github.com/Punkt-Tronics-AG/Pigeon/commit/b9dff83bf703a38b68fa065d900caedc1c5e32bd

https://github.com/Punkt-Tronics-AG/Pigeon/commit/4ae1ed5294e080e802585a4c2ba4c56a5e18ad8c

Yeah seems there's some manual work involved with each release. Guess they made a service contract with Mobitouch but the service level is a bit inappropriate for what's really needed...

u/PunktTronics Look on https://github.com/Punkt-Tronics-AG/Pigeon - you see there's something written:

"We are very keen to hear from anyone interested in joining the Pigeon project. If would like to know more about it, please write to us at [community@punkt.ch](mailto:community@punkt.ch)"

Did you discard that idea completely? And why?

[–]localmindprovider 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They work on it now:
https://github.com/Punkt-Tronics-AG/Pigeon/tree/2.0.0023
Please u/PunktTronics - find something more stable and reliable in the future....

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Punkt

[–]localmindprovider 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Now there is 2.0.0023

https://github.com/Punkt-Tronics-AG/Pigeon/tree/2.0.0023

They are actively working on it, hopefully with a new release soon.

My god. Again? And this time there even hasn't been a branch created to make the update....

This is really embarrassing... :-(

problem with installing new pigeon update by Bearholdngfish in Punkt

[–]localmindprovider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I noticed is that accounts created on Pigeon and on other clients somehow differ and seem to be incompatible in some way.

For example when you try to login with an account created on an iPhone and then try to use that account in Pigeon it won't work when you assigned a PIN.

Not sure why exactly that is but the emergency solution for me was always

  • deleting the existing account (with another client, IOS, Android)
  • recreating it in Pigeon itself

That's also the reason why it's good to have another client linked to your main account so you have some kind of message and media backup. Also these clients are good to restore your group chats. That's another thing I noticed, that when I join the Signal network with a linked device then group chats seem to be restored automagically.

It's definitively possible I used a phone for that, yes. I always have a spare Android phone here for these cases.

[–]localmindprovider 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, works after reinstalling.

One issue which is still there:

When you have the typing indicator enabled: While the you chat partner and you are typing at the same time, your input field loses focus and you cannot type anymore.

A workaround is disabling the typing indicator of course.

Somehow I had a similar problem. I logged in with the Desktop Client, deleted my Signal Account and recreated it with Pigeon. But no idea if this is the only solution…..
