Speaking of which, my iphone is stuck on reboot? Off-to-find an Apple store. (If you are trying to text or Signal me, try DM for the moment?) (PS. You can try emailing but I'm about a month behind on email?

HMM; also without a working phone I'd be locked out of a bunch of things that require phone for some sort of 2FA--whether duo or google authenticator or whatnot.




I'm abroad atm so can't just get new phone and put in SIM probably. HMMMMMMMM. Wellllllll...Show this thread

I get hating on PGP, but pretending that Signal is an equivalent replacement in an institutional context just isn’t true and doesn’t cut it. We basically just had to crash HR and accounting.

pgp has never been usable enough to be reliably secure, and this announcement (indeed overblown) doesn’t change that. signal is great, and some people are also using
