PGP tracks your name, email, and password! in c/[email protected]

So the email and username have no cryptographic purpose, they are just there for convenience.

Thanks I guess...

So the email and name will be plaintext in the public key/signatures?

memorable link to the public key’s owner.

Ok, just strange how the key generator insists on specifying them. Encryption usually doesn't like extra metadata.

Cunningham Law (backfired terribly)

Can someone please explain why PGP is needs all of these? All explanations of public key encryption mention any email embedded emails.

And I probably don't completely understand what PGP is, so please give me a good article or video on it.

He's ready for anything in c/[email protected]

I lived in Russia, and in History class I was taught that Stalin singlehandedly showed up to save those poor helpless Europeans from bloody nazis, because it was the right thing to do.

When I loved in Europe, it were the Jewish partisans who won WW2 through brain drain on Germany, and the stupid Nazis killed themselves.

In the US I found out that the thing in Europe was typical Medieval European Kingdoms in a fight, and the real high-tech stuff was in the Pacific.

Now as a programmer, I know who truly won WW2: it was our legendary bro Alan all along.

Why you shouldn't use Brave Browser in c/[email protected]

Mullvad and LibreWolf are better than Brave, jokes on you.

I use links btw.
