gollark: (in any case, it's probably less than the resource waste from Electron etc. by rather a lot)
gollark: I do vaguely feel this way about encryption and whatever - if people were trustworthy and nice™, we could save some amount of system resources and key distribution hassle and whatever. As it turns out, though, they aren't, so it isn't very relevant, and even if everyone suddenly did stop being antagonistic, this is a ridiculously unstable state.
gollark: What of the GTech™ contrasocietous chambers™?
gollark: You don't get secure systems by saying "let's just trust Jeff here".
