I got a PGP-encrypted email today, from my wife.
I am so proud

😮
That's wonderful!

Amazing :D

*researches PGP*😗

Always loved the acronym,

Pretty
Good
Privacy

It was created in an era when encryption was considered state property (and couldn't be exported etc ) and the state sating that what they had at the time was top notch while it was being cracked all around...

Than some guy came up with a new encryption algo and dubbed it pgp... He actually was prosecuted for spreading it etc..

I'm sick of your privacy games. I'm off to a new normal life. Here are our divorce papers. No hard feelings.

BR,
@!wife

More specific: HTML in email is the cause

Even more specific: email clients are flawed.

DON'T LIE, PROGRAMMERS DON'T HAVE WIFES!

@BlackByte
I am not a programmer

@Linux f*ck, i never typed that comment

You shouldn't be. Nobody uses PGP anymore, not even the guy who created it, Phil Zimmermann.
