A throwback to remind ourselves that apple is terrible for privacy
if you trust everything a sales person says, I have a bridge to sell you.
there is no reason to believe any proprietary program does what is says, and even if you decompile it and convince yourself its not sending your keys home, they could update it at any moment.
no, its just an additional attack vector, having the code to inspect makes validating updates much easier and more secure.
I’m evaluating the security of the software I’m using? what are you doing casually excusing a massive security flaw? you must not look either way before crossing the street
Oh really? You read the entire codebase of a project before downloading it, and every time you update it, you go over every single change like you’re the Greek God of code review? Because if you’re not, by your own standards, you’re opening yourself up to “additional attack vectors”
You’re talking cross-purposes. By your reasoning Lemmy or any client you use could be an attack vector - are you diving deep on the servers, their clusters, the network, their content relays, the source code to all of the software from servers to client? See, I doubt you do any of that.
I think all you do is play angels and demons and decide that what you don’t know isn’t important, what you think you know is.
What you’re describing is possible in certain circumstances , but it would expose the companies to an insane amount of liability. Also, open source software can introduce vulnerabilities that could be exploited to do the same exact thing. Open source software is not inherently more secure. Remember that time malware was introduced to the Linux kernel directly as a research project?

IDK where you get all of this trust from
Take your meds lol
you might need to lay off the stupid pills bruh
So in your view because anything could change everything will? How do you cross a road or drive or eat food or well anything at all?
You must be super paranoid and fearful.

You’re the attack vector.
yeah, I’ve considered the security model of lemmy, havent you?
EDIT: Is your argument that nobody should care about security and just be happy with whatever apple sells us?
