Year2k38™ @year_2038@infosec.exchange

We need to defeat this bizzare cognative dissonance people face when they have to re-evaluate the place email holds in their mind. It's not some useless relic of the last generation to cast off in the course of chasing the shiny new.

Email:

- Federated
- Decentralized
- Built with open standards
- Fault tolerant
- Enjoys a wide variety of open-source clients & servers
- Has widely available implementations for almost every programming language
- Already being used for software development at scales greater than GitHub-style development has ever dreamed of

"Email? Yuck"

Screw that noise. Set aside your preconceptions and look at email for what it is. The things that make you "yuck" about email are more related to the bastardization of email *software* by corporate interests like Google and Microsoft, and have next to nothing to do with email itself.

Have you ever felt like you need a reboot?

Stay warm.

Buy a hoodie.

I know, I know... It's like 90f right now... but these won't ship until the end of September... and that is right before October.

Get your spookoweenie hacker gear.

It's warm.
It's got weird symbols.
It's got dead languages.
It'll make you more good looking.

37 hoodies sold.

If we hit 50, new server hardware!

1 day left.

Either way the EFF gets a nice payday out of this too.
