That doesn't mean they shouldn't.
- BuuQu9hu 9y agoI'm assuming you do everything you should right? So... perfect body? Saving account? great family life? Work is flawless? Life doesn't happen in a vacuum and specialization is a thing. People spend their time on different things. Everyone should do A LOT of things but don't. You can't hold a billion people accountable for that. They thought for whatever reason this was a reasonable trade off. Turns out... maybe not. Instead of being a fucking nerd about it, lets work to help people move to better services. "ummmmm... actually, you should learn about GPG encryption for your files". FFS.
- sverige 9y agoI'm fairly tech savvy (ok, I'm an expert compared to my non-tech family and friends, but not compared to people here). I even had a copy of pgp on my Windows 3.1 machine shortly after Phil Zimmerman created it. I didn't understand it then, and I don't want to understand it now. The better and easier solution has been to avoid putting stuff I don't want anyone to know about me on the internet.
- pmlnr 9y agoI'm a linux sysadmin, and GPG is horrible. Complicated, complex, with weird naming scheme, multiple programs (gpg vs gpg2), etc - but it's a brilliant example why all of this is so complicated. Other ideas about describing the trouble trust means on the internet are welcome.
