Why would I spend an hour configuring a machine when I don't have to? I don't spend an hour fiddling with a car before it's usable for me. Why should a computer be different?
Why would I want plausible deniability with my encryption? I'm a developer, not a cia agent. I need to keep my company's code safe from random strangers, not governments.
- johnisgood 7y agoHow about this phrase: "one size does not fit all"? Do you use the default configurations for all of your software as well? If not, why not, and how does the reasoning not apply to the rest of the computer?
- kstenerud 7y agoI do what most people do: Look for something that covers as many of my use cases as possible. The less customization I have to do, the better. What I'm hoping is that this OS lives up to its promise to cater to the 80% first, which will likely mean that I need to do little-to-no customization, which means less things to maintain myself, which means more time to do actually valuable things. That's what I used to like about MacOS in the days of Mountain Lion.
