People like this don’t feel remorse, they aren’t capable of it. Lying to placate the dumb masses is natural to them, because they assume that all other human beings can only feel either rage or greed like they do.

But I was told that closed-source is more secure, surely nobody lied when they said that

The sentence wasn’t necessarily unclear, you just have to have a good grasp on how the rules of English grammar establish the subject and object of the sentence, and you need a good sense for how context clues work, and enough cultural context to know what errors the writer is making so you can correct for them.

You want another beer?

Or at least it wasn’t four years ago

Question: are you missing the point deliberately, or is it genuine obliviousness?

Was that the punch in the face, or was it all the morons intentionally misinterpreting this argument and saying “but why would u want to send nonsecure messages are you aware SMS isn’t secure it’s like so insecure to send SMS bro it’s not secure it’s like literally a security risk bro SMS isn’t secure at all and also are you aware SMS security is poor”
