"Smurf" is just the f word. It's so smurfing easy, just truly smurftastic.

They don't have your message contents, but that's about all they don't have. They have a whole lot of metadata, including who the messages are going to.

On the other hand, I can run my own XMPP server, with end-to-end encryption enabled, route it through Tor, and nobody's got anything on me.

Of course, WhatsApp was sold to Facebook by the guy running Signal.

So, that may factor into whether you trust it.

And the fact that, at the end of the episode when she found out, she was like, "Oh, sorry, I overreacted", was so freaking cringe-worthy. She definitely underreacted.

I happened to read some articles from a couple years ago, forecasting Trump's 2024 presidential bid, and completely missing the mark.

And it occurred to me that a lot of these political forecasters are just completely failing when it comes to Trump (at least, that's been my impression).

And something popped into my head. The character of The Mule from Asimov's Foundation series completely eluded Hari Seldon's psychohistory forecasting. He was an individual so far out of the norm that someone like him couldn't be predicted and accounted for, to devastating consequences.

I certainly don't think Trump is a genius telepath like The Mule, but he certainly seems to be trying to set himself up as a dictator, like The Mule, and he seems to be having much more success at his attempt than most people thought possible.

It's a scary time, and we don't have R. Daneel Olivaw pulling strings in the background to get us back on track.
