This is what I've suspected for a long time. I bet that's it. They can already read both ends, no need to b0rk the encryption. It's just them doing their job to protect you from fourth parties, not from themselves.
Oh I thought that was the angry little man, what's his name... Ben Shapiro! (Google knew what I meant.)
Wait what? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penny_(United_States_coin)
What do you mean?
It shouldn't be surprising considering how naive people are in general. People actually believe we live in democracies despite a century of evidence to the contrary. Propaganda and indoctrination are highly effective, and why wouldn't they be? I think it's the same reason we end up with so many unhinged people believing in reptilian conspiracy theories ir whatever: the media is always lying to them on a daily basis, so they can't trust it and without educations of their own have no way to distinguish truth from falsity anymore... why not just go with what sounds good or feels right. What other option do they have? Buy in, tune out or be lost. Those are the choices for 99% of people alive. Also, who has the energy anyway? Few are as privledged with time and energy as we are.
Also, with DOOM running on all these things now, is it still impossible to get it to run well on a 386?
