What I can't get my head around is why GNU Jami isn't more popular with people who want real E2E encryption? Is there a flaw in their algorithm or difficulties with key distribution?
2/2 As a comparison. Recently I was reading up on the Cream Soda Computer that Wozniak, Jobs & Fernandez created in 1971. The details of the facts differ in interviews conducted 40 years later. Nothing libellous, just different memories.
1/2 If what they say is untrue / hurtful.
If they just cut & pasted bits from other interviews it's more likely a copyright violation.
Legal or not it's horrifically unethical.
