Oddbean new post about login | logout Briar for extra paranoid near comunication with or without internet (wifi, bluetooth optional) SimpleX for a polished experience
Does simplex do the same 'near communication'?
Not that I'm aware of 🤔
Do those allow normal texting to people with normal texting apps? I need something that talks to normies.
Nope, normies only speak NPC languange 😅
The app needs to be specific, there are non google ones. I think there is also IM apps that can work with them, I forget which. Probably Whatsapp, maybe Facebook messenger.
I don't like any of those any more than Google.
I think there is actual sms apps Deku SMS (Deku is an SMS app that supports end to end encryption and photo sharing) https://f-droid.org/packages/com.afkanerd.deku/ This one I just found on fdroid
