My wish is to have Telegram clients and user experience (both mobile and in Linux desktop versions) with Signal security and whatsapp adoption.
Signal is a cool 2nd alternative to WhatsApp, but their desktop client is absolute garbage, their videocall echo cancelling is non-existent and sending media over slow connections absolutely sucks (it keeps on resending and resending the files)

One of the reasons why there are major security f-ups: no accountability and no consequences

They want to do this because they want more traction for their blockchain: TRON, which, IIRC, is the payment method for ads, usernames and "stuff" inside Telegram.
However Du Rove is right about a bunch of things:
- Signal clients suck, specially the Desktop one where they ship (or used to) pre-built binaries like their own lib: https://github.com/signalapp/ringrtc - Also you can't have Signal without Google Play Store - Signal client suck in usability. I wish I had Telegram client (android) and desktop (qt) instead of this electron garbage. Telegram clients are super-duper-awesome - I would say that removing phone number requirement is their #1 request. yet they take so much time to address it, specially when they cry about phone number validation SMS costs - BTW, telegram is implementing a very nice idea of a crowd sourced sms validation, where they use their users phone numbers to send the validation sms - They have a very questionable crypto integration with MobileCoin, which have a obscure value: they depend on IntelSGX and is 95% pre-mined

Will it be opensourced, like Llama2? or this is yet another closed-source LLM?

yet another browser. no, thank you. even worse that it is based in blink/chromium.
I would rather prefer they to lower their price than investing in this.
Fedora atomic kde is close to perfect. Where is the need to reinvent the wheel?
