NTP is one of those fundamental working parts of the internet that nobody has to think much about, because it works so smoothly.

It’s taken for granted, like the lights will come on when you flip a switch. But there’s SO much more to make that happen.

Signal could improve its user interface around groups and people with duplicate display names.

Nah, they really shouldn’t. Way more fun this way.

I used to work with big companies collecting IoT data. 90% were collecting telemetry without knowing why. Or having business goals they could easily achieve in other ways, without hoovering everything and violating our privacy.

The rest were doing it so they could sell it to data brokers and make money.

None of them were trying to push privacy as a competitive advantage.
