  • I remember when DS9 came out. I thought and said, frequently, “This isn’t Star Trek! Trek is supposed to be about people on a starship, going to new places! This crew isn’t going anywhere, what’s the point?”

    It’s a good thing that show runners didn’t listen to “fans” like I used to be. Trek should always be free to try new things.

    (No need to get into the specifics of the video. It’s only 5 minutes, if you want to see factual errors and fat-shaming from some internet rando.)

    Signal is the best intersection of genuine security and ease-of-use that I’ve ever seen. No choosing a server, no making an account. Just install the app, get a confirmation SMS, and now you can communicate with future-proof encryption and authentication right away.

    For more technical people, who aren’t going to be intimidated by things like making accounts and secure passwords and choosing servers, Signal is not the best. But when I need to communicate securely with non-technical people, it’s a wonderful quick go-to solution.
