A gui app that lets you:

  • symmetrically encrypt and decrypt text and files with AES-256 and without any weird formating that would make it incompatible with openssl.
  • generate (without writing to file) RSA-(2048-4096) keys and asymmetrically encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify text and files.

It should be simple without any advanced options or storing any data or credentials or saving anything without asking the user. For example;

For symmetric text:

  • 3 text boxes, 1 for input, 1 for output, 1 for password, encrypt/decrypt radio, 1 button.

For symmetric file:

  • file picker, 1 password text box, encrypt/decrypt radio, 1 button

For asymmetric generation:

  • 2 text boxes, 1 for priv key, 1 for pub key, 1 button.

For asymmetric text:

  • 3 text boxes, 1 for input, 1 for output, 1 for priv/pub key, encrypt/decrypt/sign/verify radio, 1 button

For asymmetric file:

  • file picker, 1 priv/pub key text box, encrypt/decrypt/sign/verify radio, 1 button

I use crypto to privately pay for my VPN, phone bill, to donate to foss projects. I sold some digital items online for crypto. I use it because it's faster, more private (if done correctly) and convenient than using a credit card or bank transfer. No one can seize, freeze, or control my crypto. I can donate, pay or get paid on my own terms with no middle man. If visa, mastercard, banks or fintech companies generate value then so does crypto.

What's the difference between a useless cryptographic token and a useless piece of paper if there are people willing to give me things I want for either?

Sms is not encrypted, your service provider can read all your texts.

And people bash brave for being bloated.

Most of the article talks about the CEO and the company, the only criticisms of the actual product (the browser) is that it's bloated, which is very subjective because one mans bloat is another mans feature and the affiliate link injection scandal from 4 years ago, which definitely shouldn't have been done but at least it wasn't malicious and now is gone.

To be honest I think people on here dislike brave primarily due to ideological reasons, completely ignoring the fact that 99.9% of people aren't hackermans™ and don't want to install gnu icecat or librewolf with 7 different extensions. For those people it's either chrome/edge or brave, the latter, even if not perfect is a way better option both for them and the internet.

  • Openboard
  • Quillnote
  • Organic Maps
  • ViMusic - music streaming but after 1st listen songs are cached for offline play.

Edit: Now that I think about it, I use session for taking notes and "syncing" them with my PC. I guess any messaging app with a desktop client would work.

This is a joke, right?

Alcohol, weed, porn, gambling, sex, gaming, candy... can be addictive. Let's ban or strictly limit all of that coz people are too stupid to make their own decisions. Addictive psychoactive substances strip you of choice, so instead we'll have politicians strip you of choice and make decisions for you.

Then ban smoking in public.

I tried lutris, heroic, bottles... even steam has issues with dodi's or FG installers. Now I just do wine path/to/file to install and add .exe as a non-steam game to run it through proton and it works every time.
