  • Hmm

    To return the shopping cart is an easy, convenient task and one which we all recognize as correct, the appropriate thing to do

    to be fair, productivity is divorced from wellbeing under the current system (i.e., automation lowers wages/ removes jobs), and so creating work for an employee (i.e., the Keynesian "digging holes in the ground and filling them back up") is not an insane position.

  • Like anything, depends on the threat model. Private from your little sister? Probably. Private from your boss, at least in the next few months prior to them being leaked? Also probably. Private enough?

    That's to some extent a question that can only be answered individually, as everyone's threat models differ. I suppose this fact (everyone having differing threat models) is one of the reasons that so many arguments occur over security.

  • Does Signal back up in plaintext in the cloud? (If so that doesn't sound like E2E encryption… unless the 'ends' are uh… also constituted as the cloud itself which is… defeating the purpose).

    Where do the pub/ private keys live, exactly, tbh. (Assuming it is asymmetric encryption that they use?)

    Edit: ah, misread. I thought you said that you were not joining it due to it storing plain text in the cloud.

  • Quadrupled (probably) healthcare costs

    To be fair this does hit them first as they age

    But also they just strike even by metabolizing their life savings / real estate to pay for this

    Leaving us… with no inheritance and holding the bag

  • Different threat models. There’s the threat of being punished or fired by workplace surveillance;

    Separately, there’s also the threat of some unknown third-party snooping on your data for whatever other reason (identify fraud, etc).

    The post discusses the first and I’d argue that’s more compelling for most people, but the second is also valid.
