> It's still extremely difficult.

I don't see how. You just type "gpg -e -r [email protected] filename.txt". It doesn't get much simpler than that. It's not like you are using ffmpeg, imagemagick, or other programs with a hundred switches in it.

Also PGP/GnuPG is not only for email. I encrypt and decrypt hundreds and hundreds of payloads per day, programmatically between trusted and untrusted networks.

And it is mandatory for each employee to upload their public key to our keystore so that we can deliver private information to them securely over Slack, Teams, or other communication channels.

Basically for delivering and receiving encrypted payloads programmatically or manually.

And once in a while using it for email. :)

You'd be surprised how much GnuPG is used out in the wild.

It does. But I have used S/MIME maybe a handful of times in my career. Whereas, GnuPG dozens of times a day, and in my personal life.

> it doesn't do

For a company focused on privacy, I'd love GnuPG integrated into the mail app.

But passwordstore.org can.

No reason to use anything more complicated.

This is always good copy pasta.

Usually it is for the uplink control for satellites. That you'd like to keep encrypted, so that someone does not hack your bird.

Or; don't be everyone's cup of tea, be someone's shot of whiskey.

The Matrix wasn't a movie, it was a documentary.

> I started contributing to OSM recently after a bike trail was built near me

I started after one long day of cycling, I ran out of water before I could get home. It was bad. After that, I have been updating OSM with all the water sources I run across. Drinking water in parks, bottle refill stations at stores, water fountains that I run across.

It's not much, but it's honest work.
