That’s crazy because Apple is ALSO collecting telemetry at all times just like Copilot is, but Apple has brainwashed too many idiots with their master-level marketing that everyone comes running to hypocritically defend Apple doing what Microsoft does, despite the fact that Apple has been doing this years before Microsoft had the capability or appetite to do the same thing.

That’s marketing bullshit that you fell for hook, line, and sinker.

This is stuff they collect when you are interacting with Apple services.

Since you are being vague, I am assuming you are saying thats it’s only exclusive to Apple-made stuff.

You don’t know that, and can’t say bullshit like this as if you are an authority on this subject working at Apple.

It seems to me like they collect telemetry just like Windows, and of course some Mac apps do have advertising which is personalized according to the beginning.

Apple has been doing extremely invasive telemetry tracking of your usage since before the release of Big Sur. Gee, I wonder where Microsoft got the idea to invasively gather all this telemetry from the user in the first place?

The “squirt-off” one is the one that makes me want to remove my parietal lobe.

What a stupid fucking product.

For a second I had to check if I’m in the “itchy eel” german meme lemmy community.

However, i didn’t need to know Deutsche to understand what this meme is saying.

How would you access the info if electricity permanently goes out?

Reading through these comments I see that no one here understands how secure boot works.

One thing you probably forgot to check is if your TLD registrar supports DyDNS and you have it set on both sides of the route.

Estonia IS better though.

Why do you tediously give so much of a fuck about Estonia in the first place?

Anyone reading this have any suggestions as to where we all can source cheap high-volume drives, such as refurbs pulled from upgraded old racks?

Only one other was named and its not sufficient because its not truly private. Please name them

Name them.

I’m a grown adult and can check for updates my own damn self. This phone-home telemetry in the guise of updating bullshit needs to stop

I don’t care if you want to gatekeep your torrent sites for only people who conform to your specified kind of corporate nice-speak.

I refuse to allow a fucking billionaire, or an emotionally fragile person who doesn’t like reading naughty words on the internet to tell me how to talk.

I’m justifying my response to a useless emoji, because apparently down votes here are only a “I disagree” button rather than its intended purpose.

This isn’t reddit, no one here is going to ban you for recommending a fucking website, just tell me what torrent site everyone is using so I can try and sign up with it during an open-season event and seed all day everyday

Where do you plan to source your media from now?
