Once again, I agree. Perhaps my previous phrasing was a bit harsh, I’m not taking offense. In my judo practice, there’s this idea of “stupid uke”, an opponent who intentionally acts like dead weight. Living training dummy for learning new moves or perfecting your form.

I am, to some extent, playing stupid uke right now.

Accessibility to normies is a common problem I see in smaller projects, even minor stuff like videogames. I’m thinking of a specific example right now, where the (small) dev team is clearly very talented…and very much falling into the expertise trap. Basically need to learn an entire programming language to play the game, which is not marketed as that kind of game.

I recognize that I’m ahead of the curve in this sense, and I will figure it out one day, probably very soon. I just want to point out that accessibility will be a major factor, and that this is something that privacy-focused software will have to reckon with sooner rather than later.
