Never Forget

Nfts were funny. Beyond the JPEG stupidity they were all just a solution that was so desperately searching for a problem to solve, and every time it turned out to be a massively more expensive way of doing things we can already do without nfts.

Security through obscurity is generally considered terrible practice in the cybersec community. It's much better to actually find and fix the flaws than just put your head in the sand and hope no one notices the issues.

Exploits in games and the exploits used by hackers for various other purposes are very similar in nature if less often in effect.

Boycott USA Flyer

I would be cautious to trust an American company just because they are non-profit. We know that if they get sufficiently big they can just transition into being for profit (see OpenAi), chances are regulations regarding this won't become stronger later.

Signal being open source of course helps, but it's usually the ecosystem that people grow to rely on that keeps them in place, not the technology. Just look at how big Reddit is compared to Lemmy for a good example of that. If signal was federal that would be quite different since jumping ship would be easy.
