It all boils down to your threat model, your use cases and whether you truly feel like your privacy would’ve been less at risk had the Trump lost the election and whether the idea of the U.S. becoming a surveillance dictatorship was any less feasible between in the fifteen years before Trump first took office.
Great blog by the way. I don’t care for the subject matter per se, but the fact that it reads like it is written in a way that is indifferent to public perception despite being public is a good trait for a blog I reckon. It reads like a human wrote it and as a human you owe me nothing as far as a blog is considered, because I don’t know you I just know that you’re a human, that I can tell.
The problem is that I don’t know what’s happening behind the scenes at American tech companies or how secure their systems truly are from their own state agencies. Can I safely upload furry porn and torrented anime to my (by Apple encrypted) iCloud Drive without worrying that it might be used against me in the future? How much does the Trump administration seek to tighten control over people compared to the Biden administration? At what point is it wiser to sacrifice convenience, time, and appealing design for (presumably) safer but more labor-intensive software?
Also, thank you for complimenting my blog. I love hearing (or in this case reading) comments like that because it’s exactly what I aim for: writing as a human for other humans who might find something of interest in my thoughts on both important and (mostly) less important things.
