    That's a long way to go for an ad. Good read though.

      Thanks for the explanation. I always knew that concept just as E2EE.

        Is local storage even safe from big corp just remotely nuking your files? I'm sure there's a secret button somewhere to mass delete photos from people's phones incase they start rolling in the tanks to crush a protest.

            If you're running a corpo os on your hardware this could very much happen

              The thing is, we really don't know what's in the hardware, how do we know there isn't a "Intel ME" on your phone that is just hibernating, waiting for the right kill signal?

                I mean it's technically permanent as long as your organization continues paying for the license

                Of course, they could downgrade your license or revoke it at any time. And they definitely will revoke it when you graduate (so they can reallocate the licensing costs to new students).

                Your work/school accounts don't belong to you.

                  This is extra bad because they want you to use cloud files in gdrive (I can't remember what the feature is actually called), which doesn't save the content locally on your computer, but puts an icon that will download the content from Google servers when you click on it. This means you have no local backup of your data in your computer backups.

                      Am I too old? I only trust hard saving to offline storage. Be that an external hdd or a flash drive.

                        Lemmy taught me that if you try to cancel, they'll offer you ms sans-ai. Save 3 whole bucks too.

                                Famously Americans did the splitting thing once before with Standard Oil and it was immensely beneficial to the economy in general. Just checked the wiki and it was more than 100 years ago. Unlikely the same laws are still on the books.

                                There are several companies currently active that deserve the same treatment.

                                    Is local storage even safe from big corp just remotely nuking your files? I'm sure there's a secret button somewhere to mass delete photos from people's phones incase they start rolling in the tanks to crush a protest.

                                      Is your CPU open source? I bet you have a Intel ME or AMD PSP on your computer.

                                          that's like one eighth of a whole-ass book, my friend. and after a year of writer's block that shit would hurt to lose.
