"The consensus among cybersecurity experts could not be clearer:
There is no way to provide government access to end-to-end encrypted data without breaking end-to-end encryption, thus putting every user’s security and privacy at risk."

Keep our Apple data encrypted
It is reported that the Home Office has ordered Apple to build a backdoor into its encrypted services so that they can get hold of content that any Apple user has upload to the cloud. Encryption keeps our private information safe and secure.38 Degrees
If Apple complies with this, the UK government will gain access to all iCloud data globally. The only way Apple comes out of this with any integrity is to leave the UK market. If they give in to this, every regime in the world will demand the same thing. And that’s before we even get to the fact that there’s no such thing as a “backdoor” for just so-and-so. Either there is a door or there isn’t and if there is, anyone who obtains the key can use it.

UK demands ability to access Apple users’ encrypted data
Expert says government has ‘lit the blue touch paper on a truly enormous fight’ as it challenges firm’s privacy stanceDan Milmo (The Guardian)
You remember #Apple scanning all images on your #mobile device?
If you have an #Android #phone, a new app that doesn't appear in your menu has been automatically and silently installed (or soon will be) by #Google. It is called #AndroidSystemSafetyCore and does exactly the same - scan all images on your device as well as all incoming ones (via messaging). The new spin is that it does so "to protect your #privacy".
You can uninstall this app safely via System -> Apps.
To summarize.
Apple Legal signed off on “inaccurate, unexpected, or offensive” content being pushed to users *by default*...

This is wild. In the updated Mac User Guide when you click on "learn more" in the Apple Intelligence area of the Settings it says:
"Turn Apple Intelligence on: With macOS 15.3 or later, Apple Intelligence is on by default and integrated across features in your apps. "
then a few lines later…
"Note: Apple Intelligence is currently in beta. Apple Intelligence uses generative models, and outputs may be inaccurate, unexpected, or offensive. Check important information for accuracy."

I would also like to say to Apple. You've had Siri for how many years? You've added many variations to your English speakers. But no Canadian variations.
Perhaps it's just the moment we're in, but I'd like to see a Canadian Western, Canadian Eastern, Canadian Maritime, and Newfoundland Option for Siri.
Thank you very much.

“ChatGPT Extension”
OH HELLS NO. I'm not going to be a part of that. I draw the line there immediately.
Edit: It appears that this is not on by default. I did not set it up and I turned off the "suggestions”.
#AI #AppleIntelligence #mac #Apple #macos15sequoia
You can turn Apple Intelligence off on macOS in the new “Apple Intelligence & Siri” area of System Settings.
See my previous boost on creating a “mismatch" Siri voice that effectively disables AI across all your connected Apple iCloud devices.

omg seriously.. they've inserted prompts for AI EVERYWHERE.
Seriously... go AWAY
#AI #AppleIntelligence #mac #Apple #macos15sequoia
ughh... Apple Intelligence is here.
I also remember text to speech being super cool back in the MacOS 8 days.
I am not convinced we've really advanced that far contrary to what some want to say.
And we have definitely pitched the whole "Apple is about the Creative People" out the window in favour of "Image Creation Tools -- based on the unpaid work of millions -- are here.”
Developers, please be careful when installing Homebrew. Google is serving sponsored links to a Homebrew site clone that has a cURL command to malware. The URL for this site is one letter different than the official site.
Note: Google allows the ad sponsors to specify an URL that will be displayed on the ad (original brew.sh
here), but the click takes you to the malware domain brewe.sh

Navazuji na včerejší tip.
Tady je porovnání iPhone a různých odnoží Androidu. Většina lidí má "Android" - distribuci plnou šmírovátek od Google obohacenou o bloatware výrobce, který nejen že šmíruje po svém, ale často zavléká bezpečnostní chyby, zabírá místo v úložišti i RAM.
V GrapheneOS mimo jiné vůbec není položka "Reklama" s Mobile Advertising ID.

For some reason, I rarely advertised the fact that my music is also available on #Apple #Music (as well as on other streaming outlets).
The following tune was recorded with a few outstanding musicians, including @FreakyFwoof, Jason Castingway and others.
Plz follow and spread the word, if you like. Thank you!
I did some quick research about Apple Inc.'s financials earlier today and figured I might as well post it here before closing those tabs:
Market Capitalization (aka marketcap) is the value of one share of a company multiplied by the number of shares in existence.
Apple's marketcap is currently sitting around 3.358 Trillion USD [1].
For context, this is approximately 183% of the marketcap of Alphabet (Google), which is 1.835 Trillion [2], or roughly 216% the expected 2025 budget of the US military
[3]As of the end of Q2 2024 Apple had 25.565 Billion USD in cash or cash equivalents

This is gross, and further confirms Apple’s transition from innovation to rent-seeking, but there is a good solution: Stop having an app. Patreon would work just fine as a web site, no?
