Kind, but strong objections here. As I reported in https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/72749, many arch built QT applications are affected by a strange bug, and the community package telegram-desktop as well. But official static telegram binary is not. So it is at least not the same. And even better, it works for me. I don't get the recent movement "let's delete static binary packages", but it goes quite far. There are differences between community packages with shared libraries and static official builds.
