In the age of the IME and the hundreds of billions of dollars the US spends on US covert operations. I'll let you guess what the path of least resistance is.

The iphone isn't as secure as Apple wants people to believe.

It won't be listening to you if they don't care to.

The idea of having a device that listens to everything around in your home is unnerving, for me atleast.

The problem with saying "they would never do something like this" or "I have nothing to hide so why do I care" is that your trusting people thousands of miles away from you who are heavily influenced by the government...

If your not comfortable having a policeman sit on your desk while you work on your computer then I might not be a good idea supporting products like these.

Personally, Siri can screw off. I am more than happy to check the weather myself. :)

It doesn't fragment the community as you can call kotlin code from java and vice versa. Seamlessly.

Kotlin is great in that it brings Java 8 features to Java 6(lambda expressions, functional programming, etc.) and more. It's a boon to productivity and makes programming in the Java ecosystem fun again.

There is a sometimes increase in compiling speed but it's very marginal and the method counts increase with the transpiling but it's not noticable until the app get's on the larger side.

There is a back door to every Iphone. Just ask around Boston.

Doesn't matter. They'll be a gov't backdoor in either the hardware or the software so you might as well get an android phone and load copperhead os on it as it will have the same result.

I've switched to duckduckgo for security reasons and noticed not much difference. Even when I switched back to google for something I couldn't find with duckduckgo the search results are very close.

No point 0Auth apps if google has access to it. Rather pay for my e-mail service than to use google, whose source of revenue is directly in conflict with my interest of privacy and security.

I highly recommend protonemail.com. Has all the bells and whistles and its major feature is user privacy and security.

I recently started using Tails so for security reasons coughbackdoorwindowsioscough,.. and found that it worked surprisely well. It has a disk utility, liber office, and the drivers even worked for my wireless dongle! Kudos to the Tails team!

I thought there was a story about nike interns(or some other big company) using interns to leave good reviews and comments on reddit.

Anyways this is nothing new and something that obviously goes on without saying.
