It's essentially impossible to bring and win a lawsuit against NSA, because they can claim everything is classified.

You're basically just saying that you're okay with CIA/NSA doing whatever they want and manipulating public opinion however they want without any accountability whatsoever.

First of all unix/freebsd/linux are all closely related. Second, macos does not come with current freebsd set of CLI tools, and in fact comes with several very outdated GNU CLI tools.

by wubrr 3y ago
Not at all. As a single example - macos comes with an extremely outdated version of GNU bash (3.2) from 2007. And yes, this has consequences in that many modern bash scripts depend on bash 4+ (current latest GNU bash is 5.2+).
