You shouldn’t expect any privacy when using chrome, or any google product for that matter.
I would also say anything that isn’t FOSS. Big tech and car companies to name a few.
This is a bit too clever.
Chrome is not selling your browsing history! It is creating profiles based on your interests from your browsing history which advertisers can then use to better target you.

It’s just a chat app, no?
A privacy focused social media? Cuz if ‘just a chat app’, SimpleX or Session probably meets more
But I mean, wiremin doesn’t actually appear to connect you to strangers. It seems like it just sets up private chat rooms from its description. I don’t see anyway that it publicly posts in a fashion that would appear on all WireMin users apps.
Edit: it only seems to connect you to people you explicitly provide. So hence “chat app”.

Crypto is cringe. Federation >>>>> dapps.
I was gonna say I never heard of “dapp” before. Searched it and only crypto sites came up. I don’t even think I like the phrase “decentralized app” as it is being used.
The concept in itself doesn’t sound too bad, it’s just that a multitude of the actual implementations don’t look very well meaning at all, just like NFTs. Somehow crypocurrency is able to attract both the best mathematicians and the worst scum looking to make a quick buck

Whew! Good spot, that’s not cool at all.
Also, as soon as I saw
I knew that something was up, how can you flaunt your care for privacy, decentralization and all that and then use Gmail as your contact??
Like, at least use your own domain name with underlying Gmail if you want to mislead us effectively

Agreed, it kind of unjustly vilifies the concepts to which they’re attached too, which is a shame.
Ah, never heard that one, know where can I read on it?

Thanks!
That’s really bad, well, wasn’t intending to try it out anyway XD
