I go through this annoying oscillating struggle every time I read news like this: 1. Realise the Apple hard- and software I'm using sucks privacy wise 2. Compare open source alternatives, maybe switch (I have an iPhone and a Fairphone 4 with /e/OS, also a MacBook and a homebrew Linux PC) with a file- and photo export through my NAS. 3. Use the FOSS ecosystem for a bit, be annoyed at some jank, slowly realise that while unquestionably better privacy wise, it's not necessarily better security wise. 4. Miss real life document management (I scan files, apply OCR). MacOS/Spotlight makes it possible to treat my collection as a database rather than a file cabinet that way, Continuity makes it easy to scan. 5. Switch back, rinse and repeat. I'm driving myself insane. It's always either feeling great about my privacy and sacrifice convenience (I mean, FOSS can probably host that same workflow, it's just that it's a lot more work up front and I'm the one responsible if it breaks) or feeling great about how my stuff works but feeling creeped out about being spied on.
