I kinda thought Apple was better about this sort of thing, what with the Genius bar and that sort of thing. I pretty much made an ass of myself by assuming that, I guess, because I switched from Google stuff straight into Apple. I should probably start to work on self-hosting now that I can see I was incorrect to trust Apple...
- xpe 10mo agoI don't know your priorities, but I will say this: beware the recency bias: don't overweight on a news story. Instead, take at least five minutes make a list of your concerns. > I should probably start to work on self-hosting now that I can see I was incorrect to trust Apple... Jumping to that conclusion might be worse. Don't think of trust as a binary bit. Better to ask: 1. To what degree can I trust Party to do Thing? - what is Party's track record? - what are Party's incentives? - what is the probabilistic distribution of outcomes? 2. What is my best alternative to #1? - ... track record? - ... incentives? - ... distribution of outcomes? 3. Pick the least worst for you When you do this, you'll want to factor in aspects such as: What is the value of your time? What are the chances that your alternative is less secure?
