Hey thanks for commenting, this is the first blog post I've done and I know it's a little rough around the edges. (it's also running a free tier gcp that I was watching if it was keeping up but called away)

I've written this blog post from the point of view of the first few days of use. I've had it for about 2 weeks now and haven't really wanted to migrate over.

As for it being one person's experience, unfortunately not. If you search any of the issues you'll find people on the framework forums complaining about the same things.

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.

Hey thanks,

here's the details on that: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29229881#29230318

Where 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).

"They're bad, like really bad on privacy."

That's an odd thing to say about a company so well known for its privacy stance the FBI tried to shame Apple to get backdoors put in after the San Bernardino massacre and they said no.
