The only effect an increase in key length in a cryptographic
system has is to make it more cost effective to break security by more
"traditional" means, e.g. phone taps, kidnap and torture of those who
know the keys, etc.

I remember when these were first developed. Wish they had taken off in a bigger way. I might try to hunt down the folks involved and put together some info for those interested.

Apple to finally bring RCS to iPhones: But alongside iMessage
I was really sure this was an early April Fool’s joke, but it appears to be genuine…
Apple will keep its iMessage as-is, so that won’t affect its security, and they don’t want to bring iMessage either to Android (as that would lose them customers).

Disagreeing with Israel on a matter is NOT antisemitism
Caring for civilian Palestinian lives is NOT antisemitism
Being concerned about the bombings in Gaza is NOT antisemitism
Reservedly understanding there is a reason for the bombing is NOT anti-Palestinian
Desiring a ceasefire is NOT antisemitism, is NOT pro-Hamas
Calling for the death of all Jews IS antisemitism
Calling for the death of any group of people is anti-that-group-of-people

@nbailey Your guide inspired me to set up a VOIP rotary phone, thanks! It's a fun conversation piece and I forgot how nice handsets are. The 4YO seems drawn to it as well. Can't wait to order a pizza with it later this week!

I often get asked something like:
"Why work on email clients? Isn't Gmail what most people use?"

But Email is the most decentralized communication technology out there - and great clients help protect that. So that folks can have a great email experience, regardless of the server/provider they use.
Protect email. Use Thunderbird.
it's endlessly funny to me that humanity FIRST figured out how to show pictures on a screen by using carefully calibrated and timed electromagnets to sweep an electron beam of varying intensity across a glass panel coated in phosphor thousands of times a second, and SECOND put a bunch of lights in a rectangle
