You already have your family using an encrypted service WhatsApp. Better to make them verify encryption keys with each other. And set group to auto delete messages after 30 days.
We hate what’s app because of all the metadata leakage. But it’s metadata of your family being a family. “They” already know you are a family.
If you can cinch the win though, then get them onto signal. If not, harden WhatsApp for the whole group by showing them how to use settings.
Huh, maybe I should give it a try……
How about dazzle points? Sparkleshine?

Reading small font text has not been shown to cause damage to the eyes (although you may experience eye strain from prolonged accommodation). However, long-duration near work has been found repeatedly to be associated with a greater risk of developing myopia or nearsightedness: https://bmcpublichealth.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12889-022-14377-1
I’m a visual psychophysicist. We often recommend that people take breaks when doing near-work. The 20-20-20 rule: look at something that is 20 feet away for 20 seconds every 20 minutes.
Ah, Barney Stinson in real life
Sounds like a government commission could really stamp out all these conspiracy theories. Even vindicate the good prince /s
That’s so bold of you to assume they’re making the high school bullies do their own paperwork.
We couldn’t even get them to fill out a single page card for the national crime database.
MAGA: so a stolen election judge you say?
Meanwhile everybody is complaining about how dumb Meidas Touch is. Excuse me, are we not even going to bother copying Fox News feeding talking points to people with a pulse?
Reminds me of a billionaire who went “woke” because he did the research and realized it’s far far far more effective to just start building farms around his home city then building a fancy bunker for him to die in. Actually building public infrastructure with redundancy.
Also society isn’t going to collapse overnight.
That’s the other thing. Society is more likely not to collapse, but just adapt. Half your country could be wiped out by a nuke. If the capitol was taken out then you’re just entering government less warzone like Darfur. They still have trade etc in those regions. Eventually surviving external government exert influence and prop up their preferred government.
Or the capitol survives, the housing market crashes, everybody becomes poor, disgruntled young guys force through a vote for a strong daddy to lead them through this tough time.
The movie “the road” is horrible but unlikely. The Last of Us military city states is more probable. Or just reading a history book.
Doesn’t help that dod pentagon is so big because the USD is so strong. Kinda bad for national defense if the dollar loses value.
My problem with preppers is the over estimating on whether they’ll be in a position that these skills will have any effect, and the under valuing on steps we could just take to not have this future in the first place.
Like, you’ll need a farm right off the bat, or your first steps in any guider are how to violently take somebody else’s land. Followed by step two, keeping that land from other humans who don’t want to die.
Instead of prepping, become nomadic scroungers or live in a fricking farming commune in the first place. Basically descend a couple levels of societal development and you’ll already be self sufficient and ready. Like the Amish.
Or, you know, voting for politicians who listen to scientists.
Anything beyond being self sufficient for a month is overkill in my opinion.
So, American wine is TFA free? 🎉🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🎇
Windows is idiot proof
Could we at least add more idiot support to system crashes?
Windows has a QR code for you to scan, you can make a personalized recovery drive so that it restores your computer, ctrl alt delete gives you options to click on.
Pardon me, he massively reformed the church. Brought it all the way to 17th century morals. /s
OP mentions that his family already uses WhatsApp. It’s a far bigger jump from Skypes encryption. I’m telling them to not be discouraged because they’ve already gotten pretty far.
I don’t think their normie family is going to be dragged any further than corporate end-end encryption, with dedicated servers in every country. But I like being pleasantly surprised.
And frankly, no government is going to be able to hack meeting up with your family for a face to face talk of sensitive info.
