Comment on Watermarks offer no defense against deepfakes, study suggests
noxypaws@pawb.social 1 day agoI thought GPG was bad? I don’t have enough personal experience with it to quickly summarize or opine on the merits of either of these two articles, but:
The PGP Problem: www.latacora.com/blog/2019/07/16/the-pgp-problem
What To Use Instead of PGP: soatok.blog/2024/…/what-to-use-instead-of-pgp/
I do agree with “fuck NFTs” though, and mostly agree with “fuck cryptocurrency” (mostly because porn and drugs are in my view legitimate use cases for at least a hypothetical non-environmentally-destructive cryptocurrency).

It’s not good.
But it’s leagues better than crypto.
I hate typing ‘asymmetric key cryptography’, and GPG is just three letters.
Those blog posts explain a lot, but one use case is missing (at least I don’t see it apart from git commit signing), and that is verifying the source of a public message.
And I do wish we tried using the private keys more. Specially now when anyone can deepfake anything.
If I ever release my nudes, never trust them unless they are signed and you can check them with public key in my profile.
