@MadDog23 hush

@HSTG cigarette deaths are approximately 7x opiate deaths every day/week/month.

@andrzej @debacle also that post claims that this won't happen with siri suggestions turned off. i have siri suggestions turned off and it still makes the network request.

also the author of that post is anonymous and has no name or contact info listed on their website.

@louis@emacs.ch they emailed me the next day to tell me that the 20 packs i bought had a) shipped out, and b) were not 20 packs, but qty 1. which means i overpaid 2.5x per drive instead of getting a 90% discount. they're getting returned. :( :( :(

@andrzej @debacle you are correct. the article in question does not contradict my post. read it carefully.

i'm actually proud of the fact that i don't own an rj45-db9 serial console cable any longer.

remember kids: linux is only free if your time is worthless

@joeo10 if linux gives you peace of mind then you must have a [very slow] thinkpad from the 90s

@reactorcontrol @rdela @joeo10 how do you disable visual lookup? i never enabled it, and don't know of any setting for it.

PS: i have blocked all traffic from mediaanalysisd to/from apple, and yet live text still works fine.

just told someone born this century about rj45 to db9 serial cables. "for historical reasons, they are baby blue"

@unixviking it's best to not assume worst or best, but simply be aware of the possibility space pending additional data and act accordingly.

@unixviking at best it's a bug. at worst it's surveillance.
