[16:51:47] Hey all, just a reminder liw will be giving a tech talk at 5PM UTC. We'll take questions at the end on the livestream and on #wikimedia-office: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7kM2ZWZIKc [16:55:32] Hi all the link has changed for this it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xmEmzTUJM2c [17:35:36] Thank you, Lars :) [17:36:49] thanks lars! [17:36:55] lars, thanks! [17:36:59] i have a question [17:37:00] thank you! [17:37:23] do you have opinions on why pgp hasn't been adopted as a default in modern email systems? [17:37:52] marxarelli: I think we on the YouTube stream were too far behind reality, sorry. [17:37:53] marxarelli: we JUST finished the stream [17:38:00] oh whoops :) [17:38:03] no worries then [17:38:04] ah, alas. [17:38:09] marxarelli, I can answer here [17:38:11] Let's see if liw can answer here? [17:38:23] Thx!!! [17:38:24] cool! [17:38:25] popcorn.gif [17:38:55] marxarelli, I see two options: a) technical difficulties and complexity and b) reluctance by big email software and service vendors to support privacy [17:39:22] srrodlund: can you update the old youtube stream description to include a link to the new one so if someone finds the old link somewhere they will find the actual talk [17:39:51] Yes. I will do that! [17:40:28] marxarelli, with more words: email is complex and moving and keeping up with simple stuff is already a challenge, and crypto is another big complex pile on top of that, making it harder to get things to work well [17:41:27] marxarelli, does that answer? [17:41:32] liw: do you think the technical difficulties have more to do with user friendliness of tooling or ensuring circles of trust and verifiability, or... other? [17:42:01] marxarelli, everyth [17:42:16] marxarelli, everything, I think, but user experience perhaps most [17:42:53] cool. yeah, seems like a barrier. it was for me at least [17:42:58] thanks! [17:43:05] nice talk! Are there other free software alternatives to gnupg that implement openpgp? [17:43:36] thcipriani, there's libraries for various programming languages, and SequoiaPGP in Rust, at least [17:44:33] interesting, I'll have to check that out, thanks! :)
