@hakan_geijer sorry to bother you but i'm curious about what you think of this provider.

@hakan_geijer i appreciate how you approach folks with your replies.

i do think i need to step away from terms like "just" because, as you said, it does carry weight, especially without proper context. I thought my pretext of it being a chore aluded to that weight.

my thought was "it just works" once keys are established and users at both ends are educated on how to properly use. obviously, i was wrong with that particular statement.

a friend made a good point.

encryption isn't what gets people entraped by the state. it's user error. humans are the ones that make the mistake, not encryption algos.

however, when a once trusted service starts to licking fascism boots, maybe it's time to dust off and use PGP again.

PGP is a chore, but is platform agnostic and it just works.
