Tired. In auto-pilot mode for the last 3 hours.
Part of it is based on the OpenPGP standard itself, e.g. you only need the passphrase to decrypt your emails, not to encrypt them and certainly not to change your settings.
Part of it is based on experience.
Part of it actually needs a few sources; the Lavabit part is speculative but solid, there are bread crumbs all over the web.
So no sources, noted.
I was going to add sources anyway, I've only had 3 hours of sleep last night, but you need to understand that we don't owe you resources. I, for one, don't know you. I wasn't talking to you when you approached me with a nominal sentence, and you need to acknowledge that you base your tone on the assumption that I didn't consent to this conversation.
So of course I'm still considering blocking you. Going this route, you would keep the same entitled, passive-offensive tone.
As rude as it is, people will only adapt to this by drawing boundaries in a more cohesive, efficient way. You need to check your attitude, and to embrace the resource-centric nature of the internet. Improve your tooling.
I am genuinely curious about other sources - I tried to do digging on some but couldn't verify all the claims. No rush, get some rest and whenever you get a chance I'd love to read / learn more.
