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

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.

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

Just right-clicked a link in a mastodon post and copied it then sent it to someone and only then did it finally occur to me that it was completely a unfucked-with link. Not some BS redirect link that tracks where it came from and who I sent it to. Just a regular link.

I remember when toilet paper and eggs were so plentiful we would throw them at the houses of our enemies.

in arizona, the death rate for children in state custody is 2x higher than children not in state custody.

macOS ventura 13.1 scans your local images using network API requests to apple when browsing local image files in the finder now.

be advised.

People on Mastodon who whine about indexing of their public posts are like Chris-Chan...

They want to be public figures with an audience and a global platform, with all the benefits and trappings thereof... But they also want to be 100% invisible to anybody they deem a troll.

BE ADVISED: mediaanalysisd on macos ventura 13.1 will contact apple APIs when browing LOCAL IMAGES (in the finder via spacebar quicklook!) even with icloud off, without use of the Photos app - just browing local files.

Your Mac is now snitching on you.

my iphone's keyboard has been causing me like 10x more typos the last week than any other time in history. wtaf?
