P.S. Goodbye HN, you don't matter any more.

Given that you have said...

"the bulk of users is either too stupid or unwilling to invest even the tiniest amount of effort into their privacy."

I don't feel the need to pull my punches.

This is the most deluded, idiotic response I've seen on hacker news in a long time.

It seems unlikely that the average person (or even a non-techie person of above average intelligence - e.g. a doctor) will be able to set up matrix in a way that is more secure than just installing signal. Your security relies not just on you but on the weakest node in your network. Getting good security might require trade-offs. Your all or nothing mindset will not achieve it. The saying "Perfect is the enemy of done" comes to mind. Perfect security (or what you purpose) is not one of the options in a secure system that has to exist in the real world.

Please remove your head from it's dark cavernous home.

Love, Me

Ad blockers were a rounding error once.

I'm too old and tired to try to be clever on the front end any more. TailwindCSS is the right answer for big projects and for small. Yes it can get bloated but i'm willing to take that trade off if it means I don't have to do any more css.

If we're sharing unverifiable anecdotes about LSD, then I have one...

A friends mother took LSD in the 80s and still gets nightmare flashbacks.

Stay safe kids.

This response has been written a thousand times, but here goes again...

Using a VPN or Tor is not a viable option for the average person.

In the last 10 years have a lot of Scottish, Irish or Black people been murdered by UK police officers? 20 years? 30?

I'm sure you can think of a few examples, but the idea that the UK is equally as racist as the US is laughable.

To be clear: I am not saying that racism doesn't exist in the UK or that it isn't a problem - but the kind of false equivalence you put forward doesn't really advance the conversation.

Thanks for posting this, your website content is really interesting.

Maybe it is a bug in my version of Firefox but my processor spikes massively when I go to your site.
