Recently started learning #morsecode , although it's completely useless to me. Sometimes it helps to understand why things developed like they did when you go back in time, when remote communication started. And I love having a #lowtech fallbacks.It's like learning #ed in order to understand concepts of #vim.

@stefano I'm frustrated because a solution to this problem exists since decades - its name is #PGP. Also it has it's disadvantages, problems and is of course not bullet proof, I wonder why nobody was able to design a GUI that is usable for most users with a few hours of training. You only need to understand 5 % of PGP to be able to use it.I think convenience and lack of interest (until it's too late) are the main obstacles.
