On the surface it is true, but in reality all of those things came at the expense of people’s liberty and the people themselves - they jailed or killed anyone that didn’t agree with or was seen as an enemy of the state, resources were actually incredibly scarce and there was a lot of famine (just in the less important parts of the empire), nobody trusted anyone and people kept stealing things for themselves anyway. Oh also child labor and many many more things like that.
Like I understand the good part of communism, but oh God is the USSR the worst possible example of that, they didn’t even have real communism anyway.
And what would be the evidence for God’s existence? I don’t think there’ll ever be scientific evidence for God because all events can be explained by science as having occurred naturally, but what if the natural part is made by God?
Apparently Apple can end-to-end encrypt your iCloud, but it’s opt in because they still want to profit off your data >_ iCloud -> Advanced Data Protection...
Thank you. I noticed afterwards that this was lemmy.ml, an instance I steer clear of 🙊
Anyway, I remember how I once had to break news to a person who had either voluntarily or involuntarily set up BitLocker on their work computer and didn’t know how to access their data anymore, and I had to tell them “sorry, you’re out of luck” (now that I’m thinking, maybe there was a recovery code backed up in OneDrive?..) It’s for the best to leave it opt-in for now.
Orrr it’s because a lot of people don’t care about E2EE and just want their files to be backed up. Can we stop demonizing every single IT company ever for anything they do?
