I haven’t heard this quote before, but I am copying it here because it makes so much sense:

Arguing that you don't care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different from saying you don't care about free speech because you have nothing to say. - Edward Snowden

Why is this AI-generated comment still at the top of the thread, after 3 hours? Is it finally time to give up on HN?

It didn't read as AI-generated to me. Subsequent comments did, but this one seems perfectly normal.

IIRC the GnuPG folks do a lot of consulting and sell additional software:

https://gnupg.org/service.html https://gnupg.com/ https://g10code.com/

The [THING] has been living rent-free in my head since [YEAR]. Also the fact that [THING]. No [X]. No [Y]. No [Z]. Just: [A]. Absolute [HYPERBOLE] energy.

At least this comment didn't have the double quotes left in ˙ ͜ʟ˙

And they use SHA-1 for verification?

   If you already have a version of GnuPG installed, you can simply
   verify the supplied signature.  For example to verify the signature
   of the file gnupg-2.5.19.tar.bz2 you would use this command:

     gpg --verify gnupg-2.5.19.tar.bz2.sig gnupg-2.5.19.tar.bz2

   This checks whether the signature file matches the source file.
   You should see a message indicating that the signature is good and
   made by one or more of the release signing keys.  Make sure that
   this is a valid key, either by matching the shown fingerprint
   against a trustworthy list of valid release signing keys or by
   checking that the key has been signed by trustworthy other keys.
   See the end of this mail for information on the signing keys.

 * If you are not able to use an existing version of GnuPG, you have
   to verify the SHA-1 checksum.  On Unix systems the command to do
   this is either "sha1sum" or "shasum".  Assuming you downloaded the
   file gnupg-2.5.19.tar.bz2, you run the command like this:
