I am not the author.

I found this blog to have both a short summary of the reasons as well as a pretty complete overview of the options for protecting against this specific threat model. I can just send this to people and they’ll understand the why and the how.

There are difficult choices that have to be made. Choices about who we are and who we want to be when the world is in crisis and people’s lives and freedoms are at risk.

It’s easy to laugh at people who “choose the mountain” - deliberately making their lives harder and more complicated to pursue their values. We laugh because we’ve been taught, we’ve been convinced that sincerity and idealism are cringeworthy, embarrassing to the point of pornographic discomfort.

But that cynicism didn’t help us stave off the last gasps of bigoted, white supremacist power, and it won’t help us fight against it.

We need the idealism that pushes ordinary people to make better decisions and stick to them.

Yes, even if that looks like switching email providers.

No notes!

  Doist is very much remote work (and has offices/legal presence in many countries). Global headquarters are in Portugal and CEO lives/works from in Italy from what I can tell.

It’s a good start. We’re gonna have to stay on our toes with our stacks, though. It can all be compromised.
