  • let me read you a quote from that blog post:

    You should be aware that macOS might transmit some opaque information about the developer certificate of the apps you run. This information is sent out in clear text on your network.

    It CONFIRMS everything I said! the only thing it disputes is that its not the "application hash", but the "apps certificate id" which is a meaningless distinction because it actually makes it easier to figure out which apps they're running.

    the only baseless accusation here was when you said I was bullshitting because you couldn't find it on google on 2 seconds 🤦

  • It’s not giving good results because this is bullshit.

    Lol no apple pays google to disappear this info and make it very hard to find. It also happened like 4-5 years ago, and was not covered by any major news org, so it would be hard to find anyway.
    It was for macos not IOS and everyone found out about this feature when apple server went down and nobody could start apps for a bit.

    Im having a hard time finding any info about it either, but I'll keep looking.

    EDIT: I believe the feature was called "gatekeeper"
    EDIT2: it think this is it: https://www.reddit.com/r/netsec/comments/gp52pe/apple_is_tracking_hashes_of_all_executables/ https://www.reddit.com/r/apple/comments/jt2zrh/psa_if_your_mac_suddenly_just_got_very_slow_and/ EDIT3: found it!! heres louis rossman explaining everything: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aS2lJNQn3NA

  • the only reason apple cares about security is so theyre the exclusive vendor of your information.
    they both play ball with everyone, apple just charges more

    EDIT: IOS had a "feature" where it would phone home to ask if every application was allowed to launch, but it didn't use any security like TLS. this is an unbelievable security hole that allows everyone on the wifi to see what youre doing and network admins to prevent you from running any program. this show how little they care about your privacy, and how much they care about control

  • why not trust safari?

    because apple is just as bad as google

  • I learned that stats is all about lies lol

  • nope, I dont want to make money, I want to grow the fediverse

  • yeah, I have a new domain, but all of the internal links point to the old domain, so I have to make a migration to up date the DB, and i recently got laid off from my job, so I put that project on the back burner =/

  • in this day and age, you have to be really screwing your customers to get any money from investors

  • Android phones use a modified version of the Linux kernel, so they are ostensibly "running linux"

  • woooo!

  • Lemmy is way better than Mastodon for content discovery, which is one of the biggest reasons I wish that lemmy supported "self-posts", i.e. posting to your own timeline.

    being able to cross-post "mastodon-like content" directly on lemmy would really help content discovery, make attributions simpler, and make lemmy the undisputed champion of the fediverse!

  • Nothing says "protecting civilians" like a little shelling

  • News-articles that don't cite primary-sources are BS

    Criticism or harassment?
