They're my files in Google Drive. If I've made the choice to buy a product from Panic, and I trust Panic as a company personally, it should be my right to decide to give Panic access to my files in Google Drive. It is not up to Google to shuffle money into the pockets of their security partners under the guise of doing it for my safety. My safety and the safety of my files is my responsibility, not Google's, and it's oddly convenient from a monetary perspective (both for Google itself and their partners) for Google to suddenly care a lot more about this than they used to, so it does not seem particularly altruistic in any way.
- psd1 2y agoI agree with your point for, say, Linux. For the plebs, no, they do not have the capacity. Out there is 7 billion meatbags who have had of a million years of selection for a tribal savannah environment, ten thousand years of selection for an agrarian lifestyle, two hundred years of selection for life in cities, and ten years of selection in the information era. They're fucking children. They are savannah monkeys. They fall victim to rudimentary scams. They are unable to make an informed choice. When you get into the billions of users, you become a parent to those users. Parents don't let toddlers get into the knife drawer.
