OnionShare VS TextSecure

Open the Tor browser and navigate to the OnionShare website (https://onionshare.org/).

Wasn't expecting to find something amazing from this blog post, but this project looks amazing! and has a few big partners behind it so I hope it does not vaporware https://onionshare.org/

OnionShare (chat/file transfer feature)

After researching, I see there is an onionshare github issue that notes that the errors are specific to v2.5 of the app and are not present with v2.6. Looking further, I noticed that v2.6 was actually released Oct 9, 2022 - about 7 months ago and a little over a month before the Fedora 37 release on Nov 15, 2022... In other words, plenty of time has elapsed for the new version to have been picked up via autobuild scripts so I am assuming that some sort of manual notification would be required to inform the maintainer that a new release exists / request it be added to Fedora repos. But I have no idea on the process for this...

Could you share the project file, pretty please? :D Maybe using OnionShare (https://onionshare.org/) or Firefox Send (https://github.com/timvisee/send-instances/)?

Moxie's reasons for disallowing Signal distribution via F-droid always rang a little flat to me ( https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Android/issues/127 ). Lots of chatter about the supposedly superior security model of Google Play Store, and as a result fewer eyes independently building and testing the Signal code base. Everyone is entitled to their opinions, but independent and reproducible builds seem like a net positive for everyone. Always struggled to understand releasing code as open source without taking advantage of the community's willingness to build and test. Looking at it in a new light after the XZ backdoor, and Jia Tan's interactions with other FOSS folk.

Signal has documentation on how to reproduce their Play Store builds and compare them with what you've installed locally:

There's nothing on Signal blog as of yet, but Signal's git repository was tagged with v7.0.0 yesterday and we can see from the commit history since the previously tagged version (v6.74.4) that there will be a setting to hide one's phone number [1], as well as disabling the previous default behavior of advertising that one is on Signal to all their contacts already using it [2].

Signal works the same but without the user tracking from Meta/Facebook. Many people use it as well but I'm surprised that a majority sticks to WhatsApp.

Telegram and Signal solve this.

Sadly yes: Looks like an open issue 13290 for Signal, sounds like they were/are indeed still interacting through google's push notification service, wat, and per a link at that issue it was a chore for Tutanota to break away once they realised it was a problem some years ago (though at least they thought about it years ago? wtf Signal...)

Here is one: https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Android/tree/main/reprod...

Rule 1: Posts to r/signal must relate to Signal.
