Staying at a vacation rental with my family, and I've encountered a new kind of service. "Vacation Rental WiFi Marketing" provided by https://stayfi.com/

I gave them a fake name and a burner email, but sheesh what a racket. I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to fingerprint anyone during a few days stay regardless 😬

I'm sure the data harvested is worth way more to the company than to the rental provider $$$

Guess I'll go offline and read a book instead.

Is this a #secure #MessagingApp? Maybe not yet, but it’s time to think about #DigitalPrivacy.

Imagine a #Messaging platform that’s as #secure as #Signal but requires #NoRegistration and #NoInstallation. By leveraging #WebRTC for direct #BrowserToBrowser communication, this #OpenSource project eliminates the #Middleman entirely. Simply share a unique #URL to establish an #Encrypted #PrivateChannel. It is a #Lightweight, #Disposable method to bypass #DataHarvesting and reclaim #DigitalSovereignty.

This project introduces a new #Paradigm in #ClientSide managed #Encryption. Send #Secure messages with #NoSetup, #NoCloud, and #NoTrace.

Experience the #Features:
* #PWA (#ProgressiveWebApp) for instant access
* #P2P (#PeerToPeer) connectivity
* #EndToEndEncryption (#E2EE)
* #SignalProtocol & #PostQuantum #Cryptography
* #Multimedia, #FileTransfer, & #VideoCalls
* #NoDatabase & #Stateless architecture
* #TURN server support for reliable connections

While not yet a direct replacement for #Simplex or #WhatsApp, this introduces a unique approach to #SecureCommunication.

🥳 Oh joy, another "revolutionary" tech marvel from #Tencent that promises to hypnotize us into thinking we're all living in a 3D Pixar movie as they harvest our data. 🚀 Because, who wouldn't want to dive into the magical world of #RGBD video generation, right? 😂
