  • be interesting to see how much the usership of lemmygrad drops lol

    (and the rest of lemmy)

  • 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

  • Nothing says "protecting civilians" like a little shelling

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

    Criticism or harassment?
