Privacy annoyance of the day... basically Apple knows about every app you launch for the first time. And for every every update you install, the first time you run it.
They make effort to forget these phone-home events, but it's a trust-me-bro privacy model. Which is not acceptable in a country with the Patriot Act. Even if that Act has some built-in protections, those are degraded by a declining appreciation for rule of law.
So when reading company statements like this, it's useful to replace some words - which I've done in square brackets. I'm still fully assuming good faith here, as well as no coerced lying.
> Privacy protections
> macOS has been designed to keep you and your data safe while respecting your privacy.
> Gatekeeper performs online checks to verify if an app contains known malware and whether the developer’s signing certificate is revoked. We have never [but could] combined data from these checks with information about Apple users or their devices. We do not [but could] use data from these checks to learn what individual users are using on their devices.
> Notarization checks if the app contains known malware using an encrypted connection that is resilient to server failures.
> These security checks have never included the user’s Apple Account or the identity of their device [but we can see your IP address]. To further protect privacy, we don't [but could] log IP addresses associated with Developer ID certificate checks, and we make sure that any collected IP addresses are removed from logs [but could stop doing that] .

There is a stapling mechanism that developers can use to (maybe?) prevent these phone home events, but it's not mandatory and not always practical. More importantly, it's intended as a convenience for users that are offline when they first run an application, it's *not* intended as a privacy measure.
Almost everything is trust-me-bro in the Apple ecosystem. I read their whole privacy policy. You can insert "could" almost everywhere. It is very likely that they even know what you're typing on your QuickType keyboard. You can't verify anything and I don't trust their "differential privacy" gibberish. They had been caught lying several times in the past. All they do when someone finds out something is to change their privacy policies or just sweep it under the rug. Last month or so I looked at the network traffic of an iPhone which was set-up in the most possible private way (no iCloud, not logged in with an Apple-ID, every optional data sharing turned off). I was shocked about the amount of servercalls this thing still made (especially if you consider that this company claims or once claimed that everything what you do on the iPhone stays on the iPhone). It was permanently calling home no matter what you did. Open an app -> some Apple server is pinged. Type something on your keyboard, same. Look at your photos and some apple-image-servers (of course none of them are documented) were called. Even when it was idle it didn't stop. I find it really crazy and terrifying.
Yes I know. Always cherry picking. There was a tweet here recently from a guy who posted a photo of a gold bar and said how much more profit one could have made if he had bought bitcoin instead of the gold bar at this specific point in time. I then just for fun looked at how much more this person could have made if he had gone into DOGE and it turned out that it would have been a 3x more or so than what he could have made with bitcoin if he held DOGE until today 😂 I must admit that even I was very surprised
Interesting. I never realized how stable the BTC/XMR ratio seems to be for a long time, meaning that today an X amount of XMR buys you the same amount of BTC (and vice versa) as it did since 2016 if you neglect the peaks between 2016-2019.
Advertising for this game (even mentioning its name in the public) was forbidden in Germany for a long time. Videogame magazines censored the name of this game by often changing it into "Xuake II" or "frogs" (because frogs QUAK in the German language). You also couldn't buy it in the stores. Nobody gave a shit of course. Black markets were flourishing in the schoolyards 😂 good old times.
This is indeed a reasonable compromise. Breez has the same approach. Most wallets which are affected by the problem I described are on-chain wallets. nostr:npub15369wu3wzzar5fclhecyqfv683x69n6nhlg7rxqnsg2dydgxflpq3apswl Your built-in wallet is also affected by that. Would be nice if you could change this…
Most Bitcoin wallets suffer from the same design flaw: Showning the balance in big fat digits on the main screen.
Blur it, hide it behind a button, or whatever. Just don't write it right onto everyone's face.
What wallets can hide it? I know nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5 can.
I don’t think so. Every wallet I used so far is able to hide the wallet balance but there is definitely another design flaw concerning privacy. Especially mobile wallets suffer from this. It is the fact that they instantaneously connect to 3rd party indexing servers and only after that you can connect to your own server. I don’t like this.

Wallstreet garbage talk. You might as well turn on Investors TV
yes, really. i didn't onboard a single ios user on primal and never would. 1. you are literally forced to use the built-in kyc wallet and have no other option (oh yea you can just enter some garbage in there. i guess it's funny until strike freezes your wallet and demands your real identity). 2. i don't want the fucking caching server. 3. there's really nothing which makes this client special. Seriously, where does all the money go 😂
the worst mobile nostr client. i really don't know what they are doing with the ton of money. but the client is horseshit. everything in it just feels wrong

thanks for the correction! I’ve got a question… did you ever consider going this route 👇😂🙈 
Good question. I think the idea is to make things easier for people who don't want to or cannot verify signatures, sideload and add their apps to Obtanium. It's for people who want to have the AppStore experience but feel comfortable with just downloading an app as long as the app is signed by a well-known and trusted signer, at best by the app dev him/herself. At the same time you can see which people from your web-of-trust have already downloaded the app and thus also trusted the signer. In short, I think it replaces the signature verification which many users aren't capable to do and provides an appstore experience people are familiar with.

Damus always uses eNuts as my default zap wallet despite eNuts not being listed in the wallet selection. But I like it. Works seamlessly. Don't change it please.
Außerdem sind mir hier noch zu viele Bitcoinbros & Rechte.

Bitcoiner haben dieses Protokoll aufgebaut.
Nostr ist keine Plattform, sondern ein Protokoll. Feiner, aber wichtiger Unterschied.
Herzlich Willkommen.
Having root access all the time is dangerous and even on Linux you don't have root access all the time. You can customize your Android, get rid of trackers and take fine-grained control over what apps are allowed to do without root. You can disable your mic and camera, you can deny apps to have any internet access, you can use offline open-source keyboards, offline and opensource speech to text and reverse, you can verify and sideload your apps. What do you want more?
What do you need root access for?
Cash is the most private way to spend your money. Insane to call people retards who use cash. I pay in cash where it's possible and luckily I live in a country where it is possible to pay almost everywhere in cash. And sad to see how easily people give up cash money, especially people who call themselves "ancaps". Why do you think governments crack down on cash but love to see you paying with your watch? I bet you're using a kyc-service while you are" paying with your btc" (you are probably not paying with btc, there is probably an exchange / broker in the background which converts your btc to fiat and btw sees every transaction you make). I say it with love and peace... grab some cash money and buy your btc without kyc and pay everywhere in cash where it is possible if you value your privacy.
