schestowitz@zleap True. But on the other side of the fence, the "makers" and "tinkerers" care about some software toys they can run on their playground computers and mistake "freedom of choice", the freedom to spend time and effort on implementing stuff in their spare time, for a sustainable, human alternative to surveillance capitalism.

schestowitz@zleap It seems so difficult also because there's a vast amount of different, slightly related problems. Like "privacy" vs. "hatespeech" vs. "fake news". Facebook seems bad in many aspects, yet with the overall lack of sensibility *and* a real lack of alternatives ("the place where you have contact to all or at least most of your relevant people"), it's a tough choice for people to make. 😟Jun 25 17:47

schestowitz@zleap Agree. The problem is that (as far as I see that) a vast majority of people does not just "not care" but not even remotely know there's a problem here. Other way 'round, for those who *do* care, rather than completely giving up on the cloud, using solutions such as #cryptomator or #boxcryptor might fix some issues too without having to go for self-hosting (which *might* be even more unsafe if you don't exactly know what you'reJun 25 17:48

schestowitz... sometimes pretty much bugs me is that we don't at all have *any* control over how people handling these computers are operating. There are little legal obligations for people operating servers (compared to, say, running a restaurant). And too, we don't have obvious things like encryption of metadata and data at rest which would at least ease *some* of the problems of keeping data on other peoples computers... 😐Jun 25 17:49

schestowitz Though I whole-heartedly agree with that approach, there are two things: (a) Nowadays, even in so-called "decentralized" networks, most relevant computers *still* belong to other people. We'll only fix that by having true P2P applications that are really "serverless", at least for the majority of users. And (b) we very often, in our day-to-day life, have to trust others to not do bad things, starting with, say, a visit to a hospital orJun 25 17:49
