If I ever, ever somehow end up living in a world where it’s not possible to communicate with someone digitally and be completely encrypted, if we get to a point where you MUST put your ID into signal and have the government scan all signal messages, I’ll probably just kill myself.
And take a few politicians with me at the very least.

I mean, that’s hardly realistic for most people.

I’ve persuaded a few. It took years and they all hate me now, but I did it.

You cannot ban cryptography, so the messenger is not the problem. You can control computing hardware tho…

… where it’s not possible to communicate with someone digitally…
I’d be thrilled to go back to that, if what we’re getting now instead is the only other option. But, I grew up in the before-times, so I’m not so put off by the idea.

You’re still getting surveilled in real-life conversations … if anyone in the conversation is stupid enough to bring their phone or other ‘smart’ device (including any modern car).

And they are. They’re all that stupid.

Great, teach mesh computing to an elderly relative 10k miles away that can’t even log onto a banking website

I don’t know why you’re being hostile. Options are good, I didn’t ever say that it would fit every scenario.

I hope you live in DC. Or Florida.

better idea: communicate irl. and also we need proper end-to-end encrypted chats that exchange public keys from device to device directly (NFC or QR code) (which requires physical meeting).
