    I wouldn’t trust encryption made by anti-vaxer

    My understanding of encryption is that the point is that you don’t have to trust the people doing it. You just have to trust the security research community that proved that the algorithms/protocols work. Or if you’re a hardcore security guy yourself, you can review it yourself.

    Also, my understanding of people is that what they seem like is no evidence for what kind of people they really are.

    Although I don’t totally oppose judging people because of their views (shaming has been and can be a very useful for improving societies), I wonder if software written by such people should be. Seems to me that we don’t have the abundance of software yet that would allow doing that.

    Especially I’m wary of judging people for being dumb in applications like Twitter that use dark patterns to entice them into being dumb. In some way it feels to me like punching down, like blaming the victim.

    I like the concept of delta.chat the most. Anyone here use it? Any reason why it hasn’t caught on?

    Could it support technical FOSS channels with thousands of participants, like what IRC was awesome for and Matrix seems to be pretty ok at?

    Fuck Iran. Their government is way worse than Israel’s. Do I need to remind everyone that they’re feeding Russia with the drones that they use to attack civilians in Ukraine?

    Here’s hoping that Iran’s next revolution won’t end up in a total disaster like the previous one did.
