I have to be honest, I have given up on pgp. From what I know there is no way to have encrypted communications between more than two people. So why even bother pursuing the dream of everyone using it if there is such a roadblock in the way of common communication habits.
Small lies like that are a huge part of everyday communications. No one should feel overly guilty about them and we need to be able to make them. They can be a kind of courtesy.
The effort to try to change a massive project like Firefox to the better vastly exceeds the effort to rightfully complain and abandon it. Seeing the course of mozilla over the past half decade makes me doubt that one would have any chance to get them on the "right" track again. I hope there will be another phoenix, that does not assume everyone to be a dumb post-privacy tablet user
Since Attic is fast and duplicating I do hourly backups via cron at work. At the end of the day I prune them all and do a daily backup via systemd on shutdown. For offsite I manually sync via usb stick and unison, merge at home where daily backups are done as well. Rarely I update a backup hd stored at my parents.
