I cannot imagine a circumstance where a significant portion of my digital life were snapped out of my grasp in an instant.

I cannot imagine a circumstance where a significant portion of my digital life were snapped out of my grasp in an instant. Family photos, videos, years of hard work and memories just taken away. I would be absolutely heartbroken.
To see so many people smugly responding to someone who had this happen, as apple suspended their account, in a 'well you should have done this!' or actually laughing at them directly in their replies is horrible. Have some fucking compassion, for fucks sake

We live with a digital ecosystem where people are given the impression they can trust these companies to treat them and their data fairly, so long as they do nothing wrong.
Most people rely on centralised services for so many things, and it's how the web is being built, steering people towards it. Just because it's not what *you* would do doesn't mean it's wrong for them to have picked Apple, and sure as shit doesn't mean they deserve mockery for being mistreated by them.

@babe always have a backup or way of keeping offline important files, is what we should be teaching ppl. Never trust these companies.

@babe The only lesson we have from this event is: don't you ever trust corpos. But it's like preaching to the choir here.
Anyway, this case is just a warning. Another one.

@agturcz not the point here. (the point is that we can't demand that people don't use the infrastructure that's available to them, and being right doesn't equal being decent humans; telling someone in genuine distress "you should have known better” is a dick move and achieves nothing.)

@Wildheart_Baby @babe Not helping either. I'm not exactly computer illiterate to say the least & I don't even have this down, because it's wildly more complicated than just saying "have a way" implies.
You know what a normie trying to do this will find? A convincing-sounding offering from a centralized service, which will also carry this exact same risk.

@Wildheart_Baby @babe That's what I'm trying to tell you: This isn't something that everyone - or even most people - can be reasonably expected to learn.

@jwcph this is coming across as patronising.
Ppl have learned how to use tablets, email, so on, and so forth, but helping them learn how to back up their images, etc. well, that's a step too far.

@Wildheart_Baby If you think those things are similar, I don't really know what to tell you - it's like saying that driving a car is the same as being able to build one.
