Recently? This has been happening for many decades. I remember the fall of privacy and law after 9/11, and that wasn't the start.

EU is working on that, too

Now this is the jiggle-physics I can get behind!

You know, I tried streaming for a bit... but I'm boring. I hate saying dumb shit, I hate reacting in any significant way, and if I get too excited, I start mumbling and stop pronouncing.

So while I hate such characters, I don't find it that strange.

So, just like us right now?

It's not good.

But it's leagues better than crypto.

I hate typing 'asymmetric key cryptography', and GPG is just three letters.

Those blog posts explain a lot, but one use case is missing (at least I don't see it apart from git commit signing), and that is verifying the source of a public message.

And I do wish we tried using the private keys more. Specially now when anyone can deepfake anything.

If I ever release my nudes, never trust them unless they are signed and you can check them with public key in my profile.

They killed the man, but the island remains... right?

Just fucking sign it. With your private key.

And publish your public key.

Then everyone will be able to verify it's your work, and no deepfake will ever pass that test.

Sorry for blowing this on you, but fuck blockchain, fuck NFTs.

What we need is better understanding of cryptography.

PGP has solved this problems decades ago, and crypto has just borrowed some parts, but made it worse in every possible way and into incomprehensible depths.

Again, fuck crypto, fuck NFTs.

I should make a guide on how to use GPG.
