Animated GIFS were the straw that broke the camels back?
Let's throw the best available solution under the bus.
This post will be my go to example of the myopia of some members of the security community. We have very few examples of well executed, consumer friendly privacy soloutions. Signal is the best for all possible scenarios: Open source, user friendly, buy in from a major Internet service.
I like wickr, but it falls short due to the closed source nature of the project.
Consumer friendly, usable security needs to be the number one priority for security advocates. We need to stop burning down houses because they are short a door or are the wrong color. The foundation is the hard part. Wait till there is a real alternative that can be used by people who are not c.s. majors before you argue that people should stop using the best available solution.
I appreciate the authors perspective and I agree with some of their points. Then they fuck it up by demonstrating purist jackassery. Worth a read as a useful persuasion antipattern.
