You can use the Google Cloud Messaging framework on your desktop now! Hooray! Provide your metadata to the government in one convenient place, and store your encrypted chats on Google's cloud until a point when it can be decrypted!
Fuck OWS. Moxie Marlinspike has made it abundantly clear that he doesn't want you using anything but Google services, especially on your phone. He even went so far as to threaten GPL developers with lawsuits to make them change their forks' names, despite not owning the trademark, and he's openly hostile to any effort to distribute builds outside of Google's ecosystem. He's gotten into bed with Google.
I'd use Telegram's encrypted mode over Signal (though the encrypted mode is only for mobile still).
