The Session Private Messenger App is one of a select few platforms for hard core secure messaging that truly demonstrates real knowledge of privacy. This app knows that it's about data as well as meta-data, and understands the distinction between just security vs security and privacy.
Let me explain how this app and its entire infrastructure is different and why you should use it as your secure messaging platform instead of the many flawed but super popular apps like Signal, Whatsapp, and Telegram.

@NoMoreWars Год назад

Can't wait for your Lokinet video :) Please, also show us how to set Session to start at startup on Win and Linux. There is no such option in the app. It would be great if you could SHOW us how to do things, instead of just TELLing us. For example, show screenshots or a short video tutorial about the installation of an app, especially when you highlight that something might be tricky.

@dialecticalmonist3405 Год назад

You are correct, but that is not his job. He covers a ton of privacy tech related topics and making a tutorial for a competitive product to his own privacy ecosystem is understandably not a privority.

If you open/download media films on sessions is it stored on your device?

@walkingwithshadows Год назад

I tried session recently and thought it was good, apart from the poor notifications on Android and iOS if you choose not the use the Google or Apple services. (The use of which I cannot see is any different from metadata, Google or Apple will know every time you receive a session message, and this could be correlated will enough resources). A small point, Telegram can be used without sharing your telephone number, the bad thing is that this is not the default.

@keejefferys2372 Год назад

This year we are hoping to look more into a robust solution for degoogled phones regarding notifications. Unfortunately most Android device manufactures servery limit the running of background tasks which means our background tasks which check for notifications get shutdown and the device is not notified quickly.

Can Sessions text and receive to/from non-secure messenger apps (sans security)? Or is it only useable if the other end has Sessions too? Signal's discouraging communicating with non-Signal apps. Kind'a reduces its use-case to zero?

@robbraxmantech Год назад

Signal allowed SMS and took it out so now nothing can do that

@catchnkill Год назад

Session to session only. Actually it is the same as most instant messenging apps. Not one major app can send and receive from other apps. Whatsapp can't. Signal can't. IOS's Imessage can't. Telegram can't. You name it and they all can't.

Would I use to pass my session ID with ease was create a QR code of just the hexadecimal code. And I passed the QR code to whomever I need to be in communications with. And then obfuscate QR code using an old school trick called, Steganography. 🤟🏾

@robbraxmantech Год назад

Session generates the QR code for you already BUT of the PRIVATE KEY. LOL so not intended to be shared. It's for syncing up multiple devices

@easthvan 6 месяцев назад

Session has no Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFU) which is a basic requirement in cryptography for security and anonimity. It is a huge mistake. In Session you cannot change the database password to a stronger one than an unknown random, so AFU data extraction is more likely vs some others.

@rovi4858 Год назад

I just want to ask a question about galaxyA13. Can this phone be degoogle

@NorthernChimp Год назад

It depends on whether you can unlock the bootloader or not. As far as I know Galaxies are unlockabl in their international versions, but not in their US versions, or at least the option is obfuscated (I have read things like it appearing only a week after the dev options are opened or smthng like that; Idk I'm not in the US). After that you need to find a ROM compatible with your device model. Some Galaxies have them others don't. I'm still looking for one for my A31, although very close models like A32 have them.

@catchnkill Год назад

You may try. I remember that I read some forum thread that people manage to unlock the bootloader with some tricks. Can't remember because I do not use that phone.

@NorthernChimp Год назад

@@robbraxmantech Maybe a mistake in F-droid. If so, it's a pity, as it can put people off on a wrong assumption.

@NorthernChimp Год назад

Actually in F-droid docs "This does not mean that proprietary software is included in the app. Most likely, the F-Droid build has been patched in some way to remove the Non-Free code/libraries, and/or some functionality may be missing." But the interface doesn't make this very obvious.

@robbraxmantech Год назад

If there are any variances to what I've posted, I'm hoping the session people will interject here directly. I've asked them to since I only know what I've researched.

@keejefferys2372 Год назад

This is due to the inclusion of Google play services for "Fast mode" notifications, users get the choice of which notification strategy to use when they download the app and setup and account for the first time. If slow mode notifications are chosen by the user then the Google play service code path is never visited. However F-droid flags this inclusion, even though its a completely optional code path that may never be visited.
