Nico

Hey all! I just joined the fediverse and found that it's a nice thing to start with an #introduction.

My name is Nico Alt, you might don't know me but if you do, it's most probably due to the stuff I did at #Briar and #FDroid. Currently I'm not active there but instead focus on university/#physics stuff where I contribute my little part to #quantum #cryptography (multi-party #BBM92 time-bin coding, to be more specific). Other interests are #p2p and #tor, feel free to talk to me about them!

@briar Would be nice if a #ARM64 version will be available, because then I could use #Briar on my @PINE64 #Pinephone

I guess it will very popular between the #linux #mobile community ;-)

Just in case you haven't noticed yet, Briar has an official desktop client.

That's the good news! Unfortunate it is still beta and many functions are still missing. (no group chat)

If you're curious to give it a try anyway, you'll find it here:
briarproject.org/download-bria

Feel invited to report your opinion about it by mentioning @briar.
If you're into coding, you're obviously welcome to join in on the matter too.
Briar is free software and written in kotlin.
