@xorman oh, i didn't know it's that locked up. :( lame. bullshit IP protectionism making our tech worse unnecessarily once again
@tard neither. it's real but photoshopped.
@jessicawildfire the anti-minimizing-disease-risk is something i can get behind, though. people are fools, generally speaking.
@jessicawildfire there's nothing in your account to support the conclusion you put forth in the title. maybe it was EBV, maybe it wasn't. people go nuts without EBV too.
yet another new apple phone-home process you can block all network for: ndoagent, the new device outreach agent, which as far as i can tell only exists to upsell spam you. it phones home to fetch https://cdsassets.apple.com/library/APPLE/asset/ndoV2.plist which doesn't have much in it.

@thegibson every time i hear this meme i think of kaminsky
@jb61 your friend
apple is using their private relay service (which presumably obscures client ip from apple APIs, but let's take them at their word on this) for a lot of macos-to-apple connections these days.
...including the connections to xp.apple.com from the T2/M1/M2 updater process during macOS updates. however, i have analytics off, and no telemetry from my machine should be going to xp.apple.com regardless, IP address obscured or not. :/
@Hyolobrika@berserker.town @iBender70 @mysk that mediaanalysisd, a process for scanning local files, is phoning home to apple APIs via the internet without consent or authorization, when iCloud and Photos.app are not in use at all, and no reasonable person would expect API connections being made to Apple.
