>First off, I am an engineer, and I've built my own two way sync services. Then you should at least know that this is HN and you're supposed to make this an incredible journey and post a link to your clever sync product. > Secondly lol! Please see my earlier advice regarding low quality submissions, it applies to comments too. But since I baited you out and have your full attention, the reason I said that is because text messages and photos are highly personal information that people generally don't like to lose control over. > where I can manage Your words, not mine. If you said you'd build a system she could manage, I wouldn't have said it.

It's hardly baiting when I submitted the article myself and actually respond to comments. My girlfriend isn't technical, and she trusts me more than she trusts big businesses, shockingly. Her messages are Signal backups so I couldn't read them even if I wanted to, and she happily shares her millions of photos of animals with me anyway. She's the emergency contact for my offsite backup service if anything should happen to me, and they'll ship her a drive with our data on it. This is hardly a low quality submission but it's even more ridiculous to assume me a low quality person.

  I'll repeat (for the third time) my earlier advice. Don't feed trolls, just flag my comments and move on. As for the rest you posted, I've only made the claim that you were very smart, that's it. If you want to project all this stuff about sexism and people quality, I don't know anything about that. Thanks for the enjoyable conversation though, gave me a good chuckle. Cheers!
