I agree that lots of HN is out of touch but rsync is a very robust and widely used tool. Furthermore, i don’t see the privacy implications as it’s a client side tool so while it could fuck up downloading I don’t see how it could leak photos. If it were to break, it would just be another piece of buggy apple software of which there are many.

Jumping on to discussion here, I'm an HN user and I know somewhat tech. Maybe not as good as a FAANG engineer here, but still I can call myself above average when it comes to other regular Apple users. Even I haven't used rsync in my life, and I can guarantee that regular users don't even know what rsync even means. They only need a place to backup their photos, and a way to easily transfer them between services, which apple provides.
