users don't want to have to think about encryption keys.
they should be available for them if they need them, in like... a folder or
something somewhere, but they don't need to really know that they exist.
more friction like that keeps people away from being secure.

social media network that's just a private git repo that downloads all the
posts / comments / pictures / whatever from your friends and can be viewed in a
web-browser by navigating the filesystem? people "get" firefox
ideally where everyone mirrors the repo on their own systems, and each person
gets like 10gb or whatever of space.

║ "fortune favors the bold" is actually a real mechanism in game theory. │

If you're packing for a long car ride, it's a good idea to put the things
you'll need first near the top of the bag, and the things you'll need at your
destination at the bottom.
if you don't know where you're going, well then just try and pack more of the
essentials.
for example sandwiches go at the top, because you're going to be eating them en
route.
however clean underwear should probably be near the bottom.

also, if you have a lot of a particular item (like, boxes of nutritious granola
bars with lots of nuts, maybe some chocolate, peanut butter, and dried fruit)
then you can place them such that the last box is on the bottom, while the
first box is reachable from the top.
that way, as you eat them, you can slowly reach the bottom.

if you don't know how long you're going to be gone, how do you know what to
bring? like, is it a "grab the hard drives" kind of trip, or is it more like
"we'll return in the spring"?
who can say, depends on who's driving.

but also like, there are soooooo many normies trapped there. it's a shame that
everything that's seen on that site is AI or content farmed
