    Title: I'M GIVING UP ON PGP

    “I never felt confident in the security of my long term keys. The more time passed, the more I would feel uneasy about any specific key.” “Worse, long term keys patterns like collecting signatures and printing fingerprints on business cards discourage practices that would otherwise be obvious hygiene: rotating keys often, having different keys for different devices, compartmentalization.” Advocates switching to Signal/Whatsapp and other more or less ethereal stuff. Interesting how at the end it’s signed with “all the keys he could find”
