> encrypted email is LARP security
LARP here is a link to Google and from the results I can only assume that it expands to "Live Action Role-Playing (Game)". I don't get how that's related. What is "Live Action Role-Playing Security"?
> most people who encrypt emails are LARPing
They're role-playing what?
- wmf 7y agoThey're pretending to have security.
- miloignis 7y agoRole-playing someone who needs to and does send encrypted messages, was how I read it. As in, make-believe security for fun, to feel more like a spy or something.
- TheSpiceIsLife 7y agoI think the author intended it to mean security theatre.
- johngalt 7y agoJust replace it with 'pretending'. LARP Security = Pretend Security LARPing has a connotation of nerds ineffectually playing pretend warrors. Going through an immense amount of effort in the process.
