Has anyone here tried the Berty Messenger app? It's a cross-platform encrypted messenger with the ability to communicate over Bluetooth. I'm really impressed with how capable it is already, but wouldn't rely on it for anything too sensitive in it's early state. To me, it looks like a great way to send offline messages in the event of a service disruption.

Basically, it works like Briar, but it's available on iOS and Android so it has the potential for greater adoption. Until now, I've relied on Bridgeify for offline communications with iOS devices, but I'm glad to have an Open Source alternative

I still think Briar is a better option for Android based systems, but it's nice to have another tool, and especially a cross-platform one.

I’m a firm believer that inching towards a more private life and future is a good thing in and of itself. However, I also believe that striving for a healthy social life and finding individual happiness is very important.

One area that I’m a bit lost on how to achieve better privacy is gaming. I also believe this is an area that is often overlooked. Do you all have any tips, tricks, or guides on how to game while retaining some level of privacy?

Specifically I’m referring to privacy from corporations, governments, and to a lesser extent friends. I’m also thinking about all types of games, from MMOs, to competitive FPSs, to RTS Games, to RPGs.

With Linux gaming becoming increasingly viable in conjunction with the mainstream success of the Steamdeck, I would imagine one idea for most people is kicking windows to the curb.
