I'm assuming you do everything you should right? So... perfect body? Saving account? great family life? Work is flawless?
Life doesn't happen in a vacuum and specialization is a thing. People spend their time on different things.
Everyone should do A LOT of things but don't. You can't hold a billion people accountable for that. They thought for whatever reason this was a reasonable trade off. Turns out... maybe not.
Instead of being a fucking nerd about it, lets work to help people move to better services.
"ummmmm... actually, you should learn about GPG encryption for your files".
I'm fairly tech savvy (ok, I'm an expert compared to my non-tech family and friends, but not compared to people here). I even had a copy of pgp on my Windows 3.1 machine shortly after Phil Zimmerman created it. I didn't understand it then, and I don't want to understand it now. The better and easier solution has been to avoid putting stuff I don't want anyone to know about me on the internet.
I'm a linux sysadmin, and GPG is horrible. Complicated, complex, with weird naming scheme, multiple programs (gpg vs gpg2), etc - but it's a brilliant example why all of this is so complicated. Other ideas about describing the trouble trust means on the internet are welcome.
