For Threema specifically, securitycryptographywhatever.com/2023/01/27/t... is old, and the specific vulnerabilities mentioned there are fixed, but it’s the sort of thing would give me pause over the longer term as well.

I am not a professional cryptographer, but I pay attention to the space. And the very clear sense I have is that Signal is hands down the best, from a technical perspective. (And yes, there are non-technical aspects that matter a lot.)

Been mulling this. If he could arrange for T7 to shrink instead of enlarge that’d provide neat market segmentation (wealth buys size), while solving the “how many titans can the world support?” problem. And let him stay massive but not impossibly so.

Oh yeah. Didn’t occur to me to wonder whether heart rate drops with each dose…and if so, why, and if not, how they survive even the first few doses without metabolic failure, overheating, and fluid dynamics issues (“blood hammer”, anyone?).

Yes! When I recommend Titanium Noir, as I do a lot, I tell people it’s an excellent noir, with some SF that’s there only in service of the story.
