it always bugs me how governments who demand backdoors continuously fail to realize that even if they backdoor the encryption of Signal: PGP, or more similarly to Signal, Pidgin+OTR and/or OMEMO all still exist, are well maintained and are designed to work on top of insecure channels. This isn’t gonna be the way to catch actual bad actors, they’ll all just get SimpleX or Pidgin or any other number of things and continue communicating and “going dark”.

…not to mention that Signal’s source code is open, so even if they compromise the Signal client, you can just switch to Molly or build an older version - or if the server is compromised, you can run your own with the backdoor disabled or stripped out. This is a zero-sum-game all the way down.

same, i’ve been very happy with Caddy, even with lots of subdomains and weird configs it’s been rock solid.

Musk blocking Signal links makes me just a bit happier about my Signal donation every month :>

before i knee-jerk react to this, i need to know:

• source? give me a link at minimum, preferably a scientific journal since you’re citing “the science” - much else isn’t gonna make the cut here.

• if this is the case, why did i and my peers have crippling allergies for the entirety of my childhood? we spent tons of time around manure, thousands of hours literally walking in it. we still couldn’t breathe outdoors without getting allergy symptoms.

edit: also, what does alleged lower incidence of allergies and “other autoimmune issues” have to do with the relation between playing around manure or drinking raw milk, and getting E.Coli infections/dying? those two are quite closely correlated, the “science” also shows that.

+1 for this: I have very personal experience with an E.Coli outbreak in a small town in southern Utah in 2017. Although the infections did not come from raw milk directly, the infections were traced to the area where the milk was packaged - and albeit anecdotally, there were several related deaths over the years that I was aware of, that were never reported due to the…uh…unique religious background of the place.

so yeah, I mean…don’t let your children play in manure but also…don’t drink milk that you sanitize less than you sanitize your hands.
