Re-learning #Lisp, eighteen years later, and my head is exploding
🗨️ “Fast, lift, sprint, stretch, and meditate.
Build, sell, write, create, invest, and own.
Read, reflect, love, seek truth, and ignore society.
Make these habits. Say no to everything else.
Avoid debt, jail, addiction, disgrace, shortcuts, and media.
Relax. Victory is assured.”

@gasull That repo contains only a README. That app is not #OpenSource.

I'm not in the least surprised.
Think of other popular messaging systems that claim to offer some kind of E2EE, but are proprietary #software: WhatsApp, Skype, FB Messenger, Viber, Threema, Line…
Distrust by default!
I am always amazed when folks even consider the alleged support for strong #encryption in those apps… the value of those claims is exactly zero.
@Demosthenes That's too bad. 😞 I know, from listening to stories from friends and relatives, that parenting mileage varies so much…
The EU Council is pushing for encryption backdoors to messenger apps such as WhatsApp and Signal to fight terrorism (German article): https://fm4.orf.at/stories/3008930/
Despite the fact that errors of investigation in Austrian authorities had made the attack possible in the first place and not a lack of digital surveillance powers. Politicians must start to understand that more surveillance will not lead to more security. That's why we fight any attempt for an encryption backdoor: https://tutanota.com/blog/posts/why-a-backdoor-is-a-security-risk/
To me, being a [not so] new #parent is like being in love, minus the sexual attraction and the intellectual companionship. It's a comparable feeling of devotion towards that new person, and of ecstatic bliss when thinking about them or seeing them laugh.
