  • Session was a good idea, but not implemented well

    All file attachments go to a central server I think in Canada

    They copied the signal protocol, and monero, to build their application but they removed perfect forward secrecy. Because it was hard to implement. This means of any session device ever gets compromised, somebody can look at the entire conversation from packets they captured on the wire

    I’m much more excited about simplex and briar











  • To be fair, they’re not messaging you. Their messaging your boyfriend. Different people get different advice.

    People’s Friends see red flags, and they want to tell their friend about it before they get into more trouble. That’s normal human behavior.

    Of course, you can prove, through a lifetime of good deeds and work, that you’re the exception. And I look forward to having a happy and committed life. But people will be doubtful, and that’s okay. Even if they never say it, they’re still thinking it. So it’s good that this is all out there in the public.






  • The headline is somewhat misleading.

    The device tracks progesterone levels via saliva. It’s currently possible to track those levels via urine or blood, but saliva is probably the most convenient.

    But here’s the catch. If you desire to avoid pregnancy, you avoid sexual activity during the fertile window that the device indicates. This is known as a fertility awareness method, and in Catholic circles it’s also known as natural family planning.

    It is not a contraceptive in the sense that it allows you to have sex during the fertile part of your cycle but not get pregnant.
