No, thats not what I had in mind, thats a little bit misogynist, thats precisely what he does not show in the picture - pissing contest and power games, it looks like concerned cooperation devoid of pissing contests and sex. The importance

This, online services, and not taking action is no different than not taking action over bankers/politicians stealing your future. If somebody had told me in say 2005 or 2006 that "hey, the government will just print like several

There also dont seem to be any safe/encrypted way to have a group chat with deniability, and not even a safe way to have audio and/or video communications that dont drop or lag randomly, are slow or require a programmer to setup.

5 years from now, "People started to use seamless encryption and pseudo/anonymizing services and protocols because it was exclusive, cheap and safe." You are right in pointing out that all the services we switched too, had so

Dont you mean free software? Linux already has a great marketshare - Android - but no perceptible effect on society, most people dont still know what Linux is, and certainly not what freedom in software is about. Which sucks, but thats the

Come on now, "everyone is using" may have something to it, but its also a marketing/mind-trick of keeping people locked in to these services. I remember in 2004, 2005 when Gmail began, why would anyone use gmail, everyone is

Not hard at all, in fact FBI or some other letter-agency found their switches and routers had hardware backdoors in them back in 2009 I believe, it was kind of a big deal back then. Since then US stepped up their cyber-warfare capabilities

Finally someone said it. Its also a game that we would loose against our own government/s, since we are paying for all that - in effect working against ourselves from the start. This is a sociological problem that cant be solved by tec

That is why NSA has their own factory in which they produce their own chips and computers, clean and (electronically) isolated place. I believe any country worth its salt, such as China/Israel/Russia, has such a capability - to pr

The new one looks like a toy, like another one of those hipster websites, ugh. It doesnt work with the idea of a "neocities". Shame if this is implemented, just my 2 cents.

How many times does the NSA or some other institution need to break laws to be held accountable? For some few people to do something other than talk about it?
