> Our users don’t care about security. They're not wrong. Empirically, users explicitly preferred Zoom because it lacked the "ask the user" step before starting a session. Less security is a user visible advantage.

That's the kind of practical real life inclusivity that I think should be pushed instead of the "being offended by theoretical straw men" code of conduct nonsense. But I won't hold my breath.

I really, really wish Elixir/OTP/BEAM would take hold in the soft real time / large embedded space. Such a nice fit.

What's baffling to me is that there's support for signing,, but no support for an encryption layer. When delivering software updates for embedded devices, I need to do both, so I have to roll my own container format. This seems to
