Hard disagree... there can be other valid perspectives.

I think it can be a security control depending on who/what you are trying to secure it from.

Can network operators along the route of your packets see what you're doing? Sure. But if you are only protecting against mass scanning or individual threat actors, they won't have access to that information.

Reminds me of the time on libera IRC when someone told me "cloud storage does not exist" because they were hung up on some ultra-purist word definition that nobody else shared.

The overwhelmingly vast majority of the world population uses Google Chrome with no adblocker, on Windows, and have no desire to change anything. Even if you actively try to persuade them towards other browsers or operating systems.

Why is that difficult to understand? Most people are not technical and do not have the same concerns or gripes as we do... their current software stack is familiar and does what they need it to, and that's all they care about.

I'm certainly not defending the man, but that comment to me is definitely not plainly seen as "advocating riots"... I'd call that a very disingenuous stretch of the truth.

If we're going to criticize people, I think we need to do it for the right reasons.

Sorry but this is demonstrably false. For starters, see the "R's in strawberry" meme.

I think it is because they see cars as much more necessary than guns. IMO The reality is that both could benefit from more regulations and harsher penalties and enforcement.

Yes it's still impressive either way, I'm not debating that.
