[lugm.org] Wire - Modern communication, full privacy.

[J'informatique]

Hello,

Last month I was telling you about Riot. But as Riot doesn't use 
end-to-end encryption by default today, I wanted to tell you I found an 
other app that seems really gold for user who want to avoid censorship.
It's Wire.

For me it's much better than Telegram and it could easily replace Skype. 
Hope you can check it out!
Everything sent in Wire is end-to-end encrypted. Recently they added a 
Linux desktop app for Ubuntu and AppImage.

Modern communication, full privacy.

And don't miss the comparison table on this page:

Please let me know what you think about this app.
Thanks,
Jean
