…We’ve all been doing that for years.

So does ChatGPT, and I can’t run that offline…

XMPP is a tried and tested e2ee standard.

There is mention of e2ee voice and video chat on the site.

Signal Private Messenger is free open source, works on everything. Your grandma could use this.

I have slowly migrated all of my friends and family to this over the last few years.

All of the big ‘encrypted’ messengers like WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger use the Signal Protocol under the hood but insert their own shady business and tracking defeating a lot of the purpose.

There are other perhaps more anonymous options like SimpleX or XMRchat but they are not practical nor needed for most threat models.

Matrix is not quite mature enough but is a better option than discord for gaming communities.

Signal everyday. I would not recommend Telegram. DYOR.

My APAP machine has a sim card and unless I am careful to not disable airplane mode every time I start it up, it will send all of my health data to company that I have signed no agreement with.

If I find my data in a breach, lawyers will be involved.

I sold my switch as soon as the original SD was announced. Just got my OLED in the mail and couldn’t be happier; easily the best console experience I’ve ever had.

It provides security to the network and gives them more power over the price.

These work perfectly on any chromium browser like Brave fyi.

This is how I buy all of my single player games.

If anyone hasn’t tried it, highly recommend ‘demoing’ Outer Wilds.

Fallout 76.

The game is really fun now. Only downside is the monetization (subscription model for infinite storage space)

Even better with friends in my opinion.

You mentioned LoL. Dota 2 is really fun if you guys haven’t tried it, highly recommend. Biggest thing to get used to compared to LoL is the movement (most heroes have a turn speed)

I can’t recommended Burning Wheel enough to any playgroup that hasn’t played it before.

It’s Artha system to reward players challenging their beliefs is perfect.

What about privacy coins like Monero?
