This is real push back I've seen over the past week. Not from trolls! From good people that earnestly believe this.

"People who deserve security use linux and learn to use the command line"

/me goes off to scream for an hour

@akareilly @mekkaokereke HAHAHA. Oh the delusion to think that this makes us any more "secure" than anyone else. I use linux, I have for the past 25 years, and it does _not_ make me secure. Community makes you secure. Norms make you secure. Without those you're just some drugs and a rubber hose away from divulging your secrets.
