> The "only the purest ideal is good enough, shut everything else down" mentality has its upsides in many (most?) situations. Unfortunately, I have come to see this differently. For example Threema. It turns out it wasn't a great choice, at least from the cryptographic side. Maybe it's still a good choice from a data protection standpoint. Or the high Android usage. Is buying e.g. Huawei phones really a good idea? Even if we could say there is a way to go from ideal to the practical "best", so much time is wasted in endless debates about the "best". This only works for issues where time isn't of the essence. Sometimes, pragmatism is required.
