Are you ready to learn more about this challenger for the throne of the best secure and private messenger app? Then let’s dive in with this Session review. From there, the Session team built an anonymized, decentralized system that provides superior privacy and anonymity for its users. Signal also relies on central servers to manage message flow and hold the metadata it does collect.īecause Session is a fork of Signal, it inherited Signal’s strong security. More importantly, Signal requires you to submit a phone number to create an account. It collects some metadata and doesn’t have a corporate sponsor like Facebook sucking up and monetizing that metadata. Thanks to the excellent end-to-end (E2E) encryption provided by the Signal Protocol, Signal is about as secure as a messenger app can be.īut Signal isn’t as strong on privacy as it is on security. This is excellent since Signal has long been considered the most secure of the secure messaging services. That’s because Session is a fork of Signal, meaning that much of the guts of Session originally came from Signal. Signal merits special mention in this Session review.
In this updated Session review, we’ll look at Session’s capabilities - both those active today and those comings soon. In this, it is going up against some intense competition from the likes of Signal and the other top apps we cover in our Best Secure and Encrypted Messaging Apps review. Or just change the Icon= entry matching your current locale by any mean, such as: sudo nano /usr/share/applications/qBittorrent.Session messenger is making a play for the position as the best secure messaging app. Or delete the localized Icon= entries and change the generic Icon= entry by running this command (it will create a backup file in /usr/share/applications): sudo sed -i.bak '/^Icon\(\]*\]\)\=.*$/d s|^Icon=.*$|Icon=/path/to/icon|' You'll have to set the Icon= entry matching your current locale however since localizing the icon by setting the very same icon for each locale is a very silly thing to do in first place, you might as well just change all the Icon= entries by running this command (it will create a backup file in /usr/share/applications): sudo sed -i.bak 's|^Icon\(\]*\]\)\?=.*$|Icon\1=/path/to/icon|' /usr/share/applications/sktop
So changing the icon set by the first generic Icon= entry doesn't help: desktop file sets the icon based on the localization: sed -n '/^Icon\(\]*\]\)\?=.*$/p' /usr/share/applications/sktop I'm not looking to change the icon using the ~/.local/share/applications/ override but for all users in /usr/share/applications/ or any other system-wide setting! Now that I've got qTox running myself (with a little bit of help from and no one has given me any ideas for qBittorrent, I'm adding a bounty. e- /usr/share/pixmaps/Steampunk-Vlc-Audio-Player-Icon-Mkii.png $ lsattr /usr/share/pixmaps/Steampunk-Vlc-Audio-Player-Icon-Mkii.png Some more info: $ lsattr /usr/share/applications/sktop
#REMOVING USER ICON FROM QTOX CHAT HOW TO#
desktop file s are only present in /usr/share/applications to make them available to all users and ~/.local/share/applications/ has been verified not to contain any desktop files.Ĭan anyone shed a light on why this is happening? (And give some direction how to change that icon?)įor the ones out there who don't know about SteamPunk: I want to change the ugly blue icon. The only application whose icon I couldn't get to change was qBitTorrent. I'm a bit of a tinkerer and changed my most commonly used application icons to have my own steam-punk theme.
