FYI the setup you mention is not "end-to-end" encrypted. E2EE means client-to-client encrypted, with the server processing encrypted bits only. Your approach is encryption in trans…

Sounds like you want your photos on a unencrypted HDD, which you can do regardless of whether or not a cloud service is E2EE, so I don't see how E2EE is an issue...

Why is there "a very good possibility" of losing your photos because they are E2EE? Do you not use a password manager and backup your data? There is no reason why E2EE services can…

Your post changed my prespective on atproto! It also solidified the architectural issues I've had all along with the fediverse, and view that it's more of an interim solution which…

jhack's perspetive is something that is all too common in tech. The implication that if code is open source the owners and maintainers don't owe consumers anything because "you can…

I find it simultaneously amusing and depressing that you took my comment as a promotion of bribery, rather than a stark commentary on the sytemic corruption that has destroyed Amer…

Microsoft had it worse because Gates was a megalomaniac who was so self-absorbed he didn't understand he was supposed to bribe via "donations". Tech companies all learned the same …
