What is this „freedom“ you are talking about? Are you suggesting that my experience somehow lacks freedom?

  For now you are only being watched and manipulated, but Apple is already working on ways shiny device will snitch on you. The progress for the shiny object to become a leash and a whip is slow and steady. You don't want the frog to jump.

    Pah, folks have been predicting doom glom and total lockdown on Apple systems for over a decade now, and so far, not a single step has been taken towards it. In fact, I feel like my freedom is more practically restricted on Linux, with its' general hostility agains distributing compiled code.

      Not a single step? Please install trial of Little Snitch on your beloved Apple computer and observe. I see you don't like to listen, you just casually speak nonsense. If this tread is showing reality of the level of critical thinking by the tech educated people, we are living in 1984 in full swing. Attacking the author for sharing personal decisions which have factual data, disregarding arguments with personal "ease of use" points. Just totally out of touch and reality. And when I think that most of these people are producing the software solutions of today - OMG.

        I'm afraid the battle is already lost my friend.

          I think that you are right. May be some form of denial has blinded me, but watching first hand uncensored reaction here helped a lot to remove any form of romanticism. Greed trumps all.
