      So you posted a 2 year old video because of “some people” think Apple is secure?

      Edit: so it’s a fucking check on signed apps? Ok? He takes one thing: Apple validates certain on signed apps - and then extrapolates it into this company is monitoring when you open photoshop from a friends house. They can get your isp! - holy fuck they could do this already.

      Your response to - this is on every major os was to say “yeah but some people think Apple is beyond reproach”.

        you know whats funny about certs is you dont need to phone home to check them, (see SSL)

        The issue is that they did it in a laughably insecure way that involved exposing every app that every person opened for years…

        And yet sill this thread is super-saturated with shills telling me that im spreading misinformation and that apple is super secure and encrypts everything and you should trust them. so idk what is wrong with pushing back against their narrative?

          Maybe because you seem to have personally invested yourself in a fight against a company by posting a 2 year old unconvincing YouTube video?

          Because you disagree with people thinking Apple is secure. It’s honestly such a circle jerk. You’ll find more people on Lemmy and Reddit who are ready to tear down Apple. But it’s fucking hilarious to think you are inundated with shills. Go look at that (2 year old) YouTube’s videos comments. Go look at any Apple thread in tech subreddits. It’s so fucking old. It’s so tiring watching people shit on a company when I trust that company with my data much more than google or Microsoft.

          It’s fine to make something your personality. You’re going to get pushback though. And it’s not fucking shills. The idea that shills would even be here is laughable.

            I believe in the security of open source software, because Ive worked with it for over 15 years but for some reason youre arguing with me that thinking apple is insecure is a circle jerk because google and microsoft are also bad. I know google and MS are bad, I talk about it all the time. I want to talk about how much better open source software is but because I’m shit talking apple you need to tell me how secure it is.

            The idea that shills would even be here is laughable.

            really? its just impossible for a corporation to have made a lemmy account? youre going aout of youre way to talk about how trustworthy apple is with literally no substance. was anything in the video wrong? no. you just want to tell me how trustworthy apple is and how much of a circle jerk it is to talk about their flaws. its impossible to tell a brain-dead apple lover from a chat bot.

              Yea. It’s pretty laughable. I’ve been in software development and open source software for 25+ years at this point. No. You’ve made it your personality because you like the circle jerk. Reading the other comments you’ve absolutely chosen to not respond to anyone’s salients points other to call them shills.

              When did I argue for the security of Apple? I simply pointed to your logical fallacies. Others called you out for not really understanding the concepts you’ve posted. Stop setting up strawmen for your points to land.

              And sure. You’ll respond to this, again, missing any point to give yourself a nice rebuttal. Don’t worry about it. It’s fine.

                not respond to anyone’s salients points other to call them shills.

                where is the salient point? because the best I can get is that they dont send the “app hash” just the “apps cert id”

                When did I argue for the security of Apple? I simply pointed to your logical fallacies.

                no, you didnt argue for the security you just said its a circle jerk. you did not point out any logical fallacies you just said its a circle jerk which is not a fallacy, its just you wasting time to tell me im wasting time. youre just sucking air out of the world

      Careful, it’s only been about a week since they purged all the apple bots, they were down to about 12 from the original 35,000 but now it’s back up to 15,000.
