Why I feel that RSS and personal blogs will resurrect and become the norm? The benefits of centralization are diminishing day by day.

Outside of controversial implementation with on device "processing" is the fact that a third party - private corporation funded by DOJ (30+ millions)can change hashes. Nobody publicly can check this because of the sensitive nature

I am typing this from the porch with Macbook Air with freshly installed PopOS. The feeling of control over my computer is removing the lack of macOS polish. I know that less than 5% of "outraged" users will abandon the ecosystem .

It is sarcasm. But obviously I communicated this poorly. Linux actually is more comfortable for development. macOS is broken by design. MacOS X in the old times was a dream to work on. But now with all "privacy" features from App

No way. Ask HN "new generation" to tell you, Apple and Microsoft are taking care of you to feel safe and protecting the children at the same time. Linux desktop sucks. It is broken. I found out that this "brokenness" is

I am out of the "ecosystem", but this is baffling. Why in the first place they designed this with on the device scanning? To make the process "more private"? And while on it. iCloud is not E2EE. And we have Pegasus? App

I am glad that Apple has shown the true colors of trillion dollar corporation thinking. I see opportunity for people to understand the biggest problem with a future in which humans are only a datapoint in framework designed to benefit few

Don't feel bad at all. I dumped macOS entirely from production workflow. I cannot work on computer knowing that something is "scanning" me and I am glad that my "paranoid" feeling stopped me to upgrade all office ma

Gmail is on the Google servers. Did you pay for Gmail? Did Gmail has access to your computer by default? So on.. What analogy are you making? When Gmail advertised "What is on your Gmail, stays on your Gmail"? :)

Exactly. The technical implementation is trying to hide the fact that the design mojo of this system is an actual Backdoor for governments of the world to oppress, censure and do whatever they like. The technical implementation is optimized

Please will you show me "the actual code" that gives you so much trust in Apple? Where is it? Are we losing our mind collectively? Go ask Chinese Apple users?

Let me tell you my perspective as a screeching minority long time Apple user. You may be right. We as professionals that evangelized a lot of people for Apple, don't have power or influence over core target of Apple of today. Yep. But

How about none of the above? How about right to privacy? How about the unusual idea of personal digital property? How about peace of mind? No technical or explanatory PR can remove the actual problem: In the name of "$something good&qu

Nope. If scanning was implemented outside the device on the iCloud as everyone else, may be. But this is intrusion of privacy on a new "on device surveillance" level and Apple deserves hostile reaction. No form of apologetic or &q

The empowerment at the time was a honest and professional assessment of using MacOS X vs Windows. Apple embraced PC vs Mac marketing as I can remember. The empowerment today is the same professional stance. Explaining the technical facts to
