@surfingalot it's ok. the elgato software that runs it is chock full of spyware and if i didn't have Little Snitch installed i'd never fucking touch it

twitter blue is not available if your phone number carrier is protected by hardware 2FA, only if you use a phone number from a mobile carrier that lets you get sim swapped.

anyone know an rtmp switcher/muxer that will play files shuffled or whatever from a media directory and stream RTMP out but then will accept an RTMP stream in to override, without dropping the outbound RTMP stream when the override stream starts/stops?

basically i want to stream 24/7 from a directory, but be able to cut in live and not have the stream stop/start. how do?

everyone seems to think that my post says that apple is *remotely* scanning your files. it's happening on-device, via a process that speaks to the network. there's no indication what that process is sending or receiving to apple, and i haven't REd it yet to find out.

new battlestation configuration is making some progress

@yProd all people vulnerable to FBI coercion are potentially evil as they can be forced to do things against their will.

if you highlight text in a mail message in macOS mail.app and right-click it, there is a context menu item that says "search with Google". it always opens safari regardless of what default browser you have chosen. i reported this to apple more than 2 years ago and they haven't fixed it.

@yProd scanning does not mean transmitting. transmission could be conditional on specific features! it could be all-local until it detects something it doesn't like, then and only then does it make a network request. we know it is scanning local files that are not involved in icloud/Photos.app, and we know it's making network requests. it's a single line of code to connect those two. you cannot assert that that code is not on my machine.

i had been taking to buying new old stock of homepod1s on ebay, they are that good. i am so excited:

@yProd this is 100% apple scanning my files. apple controls my own, local computer via macOS. there's no data available now to support "all results staying local" as we have already established that the process scanning the files is making network API requests.

@yProd where do i opt out of having apple scan my files for text?

@yProd spotlight can be turned off and directories excluded. what ML features are in use when using spacebar quicklook in the finder? literally all i asked it to do is display the image. at best it is a bug.

@CKsTechNews nothing evolved after linux (yet) either. linus is actually p good at his job
