If there is an immigrant who has failed to integrate in America, it’s Donald Trump

“With all these immigrants around, it makes you wonder why we can’t find any real white nationalists to play the racism card any more.

They ought to go back to where they came from.” Richard Wolffe, who on this evidence must be considered an immigrant of some sort himself, is hitting the nail fairly and squarely on the head.

Why I won’t recommend Signal anymore

​“We need to remember that we’re fighting not only against government surveillance, but also against corporate surveillance as well. We need ways to defend against this, and using corporate solutions that create a dependency on these solutions, even if the communications themselves are not readable to them, there’s still the issue of metadata, and of course general availability of Google’s services to Signal.” Sander Venema disagrees on strategy, not cryptography.
