Hi!✌️Personally, I’m not a fan of vibes-based trust. First VERIFY, then trust, is my motto. Which is why Signal is open source. We want everyone to be able to inspect our code, and our encryption protocol, and see for themselves the lengths we go to to protect your comms and

In 2023, Signal was the first mainstream messenger to enable post-quantum cryptography. We’re still ahead of the (elliptical) curve, implementing a new hybrid PQ ratchet ensuring Forward Secrecy & Post-Compromise Security even in a post-quantum world.

My favorite Austin housing chart: They've proven that you can add a bunch of people to your city without skyrocketing rents. Meanwhile, San Diego hasn't added anyone, and rents there are still up 60%.

Abundance works and Austin is ground zero. You can literally just build more housing.

There is no secure backdoor for encryption. Encryption can be either secure or it can be backdoored. It cannot be both at once.

This is really important. If the UK forces a global backdoor into Apple’s security, it will make everyone in every country less safe. One country’s secret order risks putting all of us in danger and it should be stopped.

Coming soon: When you add a linked device (Desktop or iPad), bring your whole chat history + last 45 days of media. The transfer process is end-to-end encrypted & completely optional. Don't want to leave the past behind? We leave you to your own devices.

Not just X but nearly every American tech company is locked out of China. Right now the situation is completely unbalanced where Chinese tech firms can access American markets but the inverse isn't allowed. This needs to change.

I have been against a TikTok ban for a long time, because it goes against freedom of speech. That said, the current situation where TikTok is allowed to operate in America, but 𝕏 is not allowed to operate in China is unbalanced. Something needs to change.

Whenever I hear calls for greater censorship, I am reminded of this quote from a 25 year old video game: "Beware of he who would deny you access to information, for in his heart he dreams himself your master."

I have a lot of issues with Telegram and I wouldn’t be shocked if there’s some bad stuff going on there. But this is an awful move by France and is not going to have the effect they want.

It's amazing to me that after all this time, almost all media coverage of Telegram still refers to it as an "encrypted messenger." Telegram has a lot of compelling features, but in terms of privacy and data collection, there is no worse choice. Here's how it actually works: 1/
