I’m really worried that we have finally reached the point in computing where you can buy a machine that is fast/efficient, or you can buy a machine that is private.
Apple sends the hash of every binary you execute to Apple in current (and presumably future) macOS, and the changes in macOS 11 mean that Little Snitch will continue to work for all processes, except OS/system processes.
This means that it may be impossible to disable the telemetry without external filtering hardware.
This situation is extremely troubling to me, because Stallman and Doctorow have been predicting just this for about twenty years.
Today, it’s here.
I really hope these things can boot OSes other than macOS, or that a way to do such can be worked out.
