[liberationtech] Guardian Project announces new "SmellySuperCrypto" app, featuring, "BurnBabyBurn" and "UnicornRainbows", too!

[Brian Conley]

Although I have to say, I believe self-promotion is a bit gauche, and
frowned upon here on the libtech list, this did catch my eye:

"Also, it will only be available in places where Apple does not censor the
app store, which is not a problem because "who is crazy enough to live in
those places!?", Mr. Freitas said."

So true!

However, given the lack of mention of AES or other acronyms, I will not be
suggesting this product to Small World News' stakeholders or trainees in
the near future.

I still like you personally, however!

cheers and beers
