So #Apple is scanning your local files on #macOS without consent according to Jeffrey Paul ( @sneak ) https://sneak.berlin/20230115/macos-scans-your-local-files-now/
Again folks, #Linux is the only way to go to be truly private and piece of mind.
@tux0r @joeo10 people who believe that (and there are many of them) have never had or used a truly great laptop. it's not even like, remotely fuckin' close. if the best thinkpad ever made is a 5, any macbook air from the last 3 years is a 14, and that's apple's lowest end machine. my macbook pro has 8tb of flash, 10 cpu cores, 64gb ram, 3456x2234@254ppi, HDR, hardware accelerated HEVC/x265 encode and decode, 21 hours of battery life, and can run 4 displays. it's 2.2kg. enjoy your lenovo
@tux0r @joeo10 i'm just saying that the worst apple laptop is 2x+ as good as any PC laptop, something a lot of hacker types like to ignore. this is why i funded the development that resulted in both OpenBSD and Linux being able to boot on it.
i could be running gpu-accelerated asahi on this box right now but it doesn't support a lot of important stuff yet (like multiple monitors IIRC).
@sneak @joeo10 The original post was implying that "Linux is the only way to go to be truly private and piece of mind", which is obviously not true. I did not mean to make this a hardware pissing contest, actually.
(For measurement: I own a MacBook Pro and not one single OpenBSD desktop right now.)
