The idea of MKBHD’s new app, Panels, is OK – but I have several problems with it. And the biggest is the slap-in-the-face split with artists! I wrote more here.

From my latest post:
"Security minded people have little troubles distinguishing between all matters of nuance in terms of security – and I agree that we should simplify while communicating these things."
"But I don’t think a binary understanding, where things are either “secure” or “insecure”, is the right level – as we’ll get lots of over and under estimations."
"Either we end up lumping Telegram/iMessage in with Signal, or with SMS – and both are wrong."
"I think we can manage three (broad) categories – that there’s room for something between “No security” and “The best security”.""

If this isn’t one of the clearest examples of the problems with too much bundling and integration, I don’t know what is.
So, Apple (the phone maker) is artificially nerfing the competition of Apple (the music streaming service), unless they agree to build stronger integration with Apple (the smart speaker maker).
It became a blog post!

I’m conflicted by this…
Sure, tons of shady stuff goes on on Telegram – but the same is true for Signal (it’s just a less popular app), and any other “more secure than the norm” platform.
Is this arrest along the same lines as politicians wanting to ban E2EE, or is it a proper consequence of laissez-faire moderation?
Is it even possible to make a platform suitable for freedom fighters without also making it valuable for criminals?

Hi, @help!
I tried to clean up some blog posts, but some of them are stuck… When changing dates didn’t work, I tried to delete and republish. But the deleted posts are still live on my site, even though they’re not in the “Posts” list… Is there a place I can view the database or something?
So, the problem is that some posts are not in the “Posts” list, but they are live on my website. =/
