Fair enough.
When I read it, it sounded like popular groups would be listed.... sort of like the 'trending' feeatures on social networks and stuff...

If I was wrong, I stand corrected... Thanks

That's what I read after installing the app (on a trash device).

Not that I'm using it for anything nefarious, but if you're going to claim 100% privacy, I think offering 'discovery' services for popular groups goes very much against that.

In all fairness, I removed it shortly after discovering that... so maybe other users who have stuck around can clarify... I dont mind admitting I read that incorrectly.

@whale @sp6

I looked at SimpleX a little while ago... and it was looking fine... until I read that they list 'groups' in some kind of directory... like chat rooms I imagine. Deal breaker for me.

@U2VuZCBudWRlcyA6KSAK
ahhh... the network effect....

I wouldn't use it on anything, but if you have to... i'd start by looking if it's possible to use it from a web browser instead of using an app. This way, the browser app will isolate it from having access to your entire device.

If you didn't commit a crime, why should be part of the line up of suspects?

You could just live boot a linux USB and mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda1 ;) 😂

@MagneticFusion @chemicalwonka I was gonna suggest the same thing but I realize that only solves half of the problem. You would still have to identify to apple services to download and install the app

@learningduck @chairman Great!.... so just wait for everyone else to buy these first

@9point6 @Ogygus Brave is owned by a for-profit company that makes money from its users. Isn't this true for most browsers? The fact that you speak of 'market share' implies profit for somebody at some point. In most cases Google, Microsoft, Apple, Mozilla or somebody. Good for you for deciding who you want to support, but you make it sound like there is something wrong with it being owned by some corp...when the same is true for everything else

@jws_shadotak Make sure no ports other than 80 and 443 are exposed from the outside and force everything through https

 

@selfhosted I self-host a few services on my box, but I'm looking for a 'dashboard' like solution to use as a portal to click to each of those. I've seen this before, but can't for the life of me remember what it's called... suggestions? :debian: :linux:
