I can’t walk up to a friend or family member and Airdrop them some photos with SyncThing. Also, I thought iCloud is encrypted, no?


I was talking about getting data from your phone to your PC without sending it to Apple.

I don't understand why people accept that it's necessary to send that data to Apple and back in order to perform such a basic function.

It doesn't matter if it's encrypted or not, that's still an artificial limitation that Apple has put on the devices you supposedly "own", all so they can monetize your data.

But Apple will tell you these limitations are for your own good, or security or something.

And people seem to love the taste of that refreshing kool-aid.
