Well, this is the problem people have I think - that it comes down good intentions on Apple's part, no matter how trustworthy they are deemed to be.
- Operyl 6y agoWith this logic you might as well not try at all. You have to trust Intel, your bios/UEFI, Apple/Microsoft, all the various builds of software closed and open source alike .. at some point you need to trust someone.
- throwaway2048 6y agohow is that a justification to heap on more "required" trust into a system? Feels like somebody could flesh out this argument in terms of accidental vs necessary complexity, but in terms of how much you need to trust the other party. Few would accept the argument "This code is already very complex, why do you have a problem with doubling the complexity?" on its own merits, so why is it sensible in terms of trust?
