"Trust but verify" is a better motto than "don't trust, verify".

As an optimist, I do prefer that! gm and have a great day! 👌
True but I think trust and verify may be even better because even when you trust you still need to verify to make sure it right and nothing malicious has happened
GM
Not "better," they apply at different times
But you're ignoring that because you want people to trust you at times they should wait for verification instead (e.g. letting you dictate how automatic muting works in Amethyst)
Depends entirely on the context imo.
GM
Actually no, it's not. Most will trust and never verify because what we want as lazy humans is to save ourselves the trouble of verifying... that's how we've gotten to this point in so many things.
Don't even trust yourself, always verify!
Oh and GM!
It's a generic phrase, and given the world we live in, I find it naive to trust and then verify.
I prefer skepticism and mistrust.
When you don't know the context, it's risky to trust even if you verify later.
Verifying later can be too late and implies distrust.
"Don't trust. Verify." for me is a short hand for "Don't blindly trust stuff that could hurt you if its properties were not as advertised. Ideally some people you trust, verify these properties at all time but at the very minimum, those people have to have a way to independently verify whenever they want without the provider of the stuff knowing if they do."
So how about: "Trust if verification is plausible at all time."
Vitinho meu amor pq eu tenho 300 relays agora??
Eh o novo normal. O amethyst agora se conecta com todos os relays que os seus follows usam. Assim vc não perde nada. :)
So you didn’t trust anyway
If you trust something why verify it?
'Verified then trust' lands nice on the ear I think.
I’ve always read “don’t trust, verify” as short for “you don’t need to trust because you can verify”. That still seems best to me.
None the less, GM is the best part 😁
Better yet: “Verify then trust.”
Trust yourself to verify and gaze upon all with a laser eye.
Agree GM!
Trust but verify has always seemed like bullshit to me.
