Congrats for publishing your first blog post. It's a big step.
>The other thing I really dislike about Apple is their stance on privacy. They're bad, like really bad on privacy. Despite the advertising hypocrisy, which since the porn filter debacle has been bunk, whenever you have your mac connected to the internet most of what you're doing is being recorded. There is literally 30+ daemon processes constantly phoning home and doing all sorts of telemetry.
Suggestion: You should have left this bit out or provided citations. It's such a gross exaggeration that it leans into tin-foil hat territory IMHO.
I'm curious about your experience with framework but I couldn't get past this part.

- mthoms 5y agoWhere does it explain/prove that "most of what you are doing" is being recorded. That's a really bold claim. I understand that launching apps pings an apple server to check certificates (for example) but I've never heard much of anything more egregious than that. The phrase "most of what you're doing" implies recording keystrokes, web browsing history + clicks (and so on).
