Ask HN: Trusting Software
2 by asim | 0 comments on Hacker News.
As I get older I see a lot of new software and services being produced. This isn't news and it's not unique, we're all experiencing that. What's interesting to me now though is my lack of willingness to adopt these new services that store my data or manage my communication. As the internet grew I loved trying new services but now as the essentials are accounted for I don't feel that same desire to adopt new technology. If anything I'm trying to pair it down to bare essential utilities. I was curious to know if anyone else saw the same behaviour in themselves? What's more, I'm leaning towards owning my own services and trying to understand how that would work in reality. Home ownership is standard and we rarely build our own homes now. Just wondering if that'll happen for essential services like email, chat, storage, etc.
