"the bulk of users is either too stupid or unwilling to invest even the tiniest amount of effort into their privacy."
I don't feel the need to pull my punches.
This is the most deluded, idiotic response I've seen on hacker news in a long time.
It seems unlikely that the average person (or even a non-techie person of above average intelligence - e.g. a doctor) will be able to set up matrix in a way that is more secure than just installing signal. Your security relies not just on you but on the weakest node in your network. Getting good security might require trade-offs. Your all or nothing mindset will not achieve it. The saying "Perfect is the enemy of done" comes to mind. Perfect security (or what you purpose) is not one of the options in a secure system that has to exist in the real world.
Please remove your head from it's dark cavernous home.
I'm too old and tired to try to be clever on the front end any more. TailwindCSS is the right answer for big projects and for small. Yes it can get bloated but i'm willing to take that trade off if it means I don't have to do any more css.
In the last 10 years have a lot of Scottish, Irish or Black people been murdered by UK police officers? 20 years? 30?
I'm sure you can think of a few examples, but the idea that the UK is equally as racist as the US is laughable.
To be clear: I am not saying that racism doesn't exist in the UK or that it isn't a problem - but the kind of false equivalence you put forward doesn't really advance the conversation.
The benefits to this are substantial, which is a bit worrying.
If this style of computing becomes the norm it would centralise and fragilize any systems, companies, economies that rely on it. As well as passing control over what can be run to a third party (see: "The war on general purpose computing").
