KingOfLechia··on The Greatest Enemy of Privacy
Ever noticed how they always bring up the threat model discussion whenever someone asks for or provides a serious privacy and anonimity advice and they try to persuade us to lower our expectations and use less private tools, but never the other way around?

I have yet to see a single thread where someone with a low threat model is told that their threat model doesn't make sense and that they should try to put some effort into avoiding NSA/feds/actual adversaries and not just "surveillance capitalism".

This is a psyop to make us stop caring about avoiding actual surveillance.

Stop threat modeling. Always try to achieve the best possible privacy and anonimity.

KingOfLechia··on Hackintosh is almost dead
Even if you try to install it using a flash drive, it still asks you to connect to the internet to "verify" the installation. https://sneak.berlin/20201204/on-trusting-macintosh-hardware... explains how it's ensured on the firmware level that you really connect with Apple servers.

KingOfLechia··on Hackintosh is almost dead
Other than trying out the MacOS for the first time to learn how bad it is, why would anyone make a hackintosh? Windows and Linux are infinitely better operating systems, more open, with better backwards compatibility, more hardware support, independence from vendor servers and more available software.

A reminder that with MacOS you need internet connection in order to re-install the OS as it requires activation just like iPads and iPhones. Imagine one day Apple stops supporting your Macbook model, shuts down its activation server and your computer turns into brick after something goes wrong and it requires a factory reset.

KingOfLechia··on KeePassXC Issue: [Passkeys] should never be exported in clear text
Web Integrity failed so now they are trying to lock down the internet by refusing authentication to anyone not using "trusted" passkey implementation (eventually the only trusted implementation will be TPM with unmodified Windows/MacOS/Chrome OS/Android/iOS).

Do you have any examples of such programs being used maliciously?
KingOfLechia··on Apple announces ability to download apps directly from websites in EU
There's no reason to update a program once it's feature complete if it works offline. Apple is pushing harmful updoot ideology that kills old (but perfectly usable) programs.
