Then you don't have control or visibility over Apple or third-party apps sending analytics likely without your approval.
LuLu has a fatal flaw: it drops or closes TCP connections randomly resulting in dropped SSH sessions. No amount of TCP keepalives on the client- or server-side will resolve this. This makes it a non-starter for anyone doing anything real.
Also good:
- BlockBlock - disk access application "firewalling" on top of macOS'es privacy & security settings is very good
- RansomWhere? - ransomware process mass file change interception
Yes, and never forget Tesla refuses to sell repair parts when people have cash in hand, partially arbitrarily and otherwise deliberately. Also, their CEO performs Sieg Heil, and don't let anyone tell you it's a "Roman salute" because this is merely a cinema factoid. This is likely unavoidable when such a weirdo is placed on a pedestal like Henry Ford or William Randolph Hearst.
Siri, the app Apple acquired from a promising Palo Alto startup once upon a time, for close-ended, fixed phrase commands hasn't changed that much for accomplishing Apple-specific tasks. However, yes, going out to the interwebs or answering open-ended questions is more problematic now than it used to be.
Amazon's Echo has also enshitified such that many skills don't work and command phrases that used to work no longer give the same results. I used to be able to ask Echo "What's the IMDB rating for [movie name]?" but it invariably gives an unrelated or a wrong answer or does a HAL-9000.
It seems like an obvious category killer app to have an AI personal assistant able to perform free-form queries and operate on allowed services with a degree of trust and care so that it can't email everyone you've ever known a photo without a high level of interactive confirmation.
Some quick research suggest, though, that the production of biodiesel is far more intensive (algae/oil farms are needed, then a process of procurement, production), and not without its own environmental concerns.
Even if this were a serious bill rather than ostensible fodder, the possibility of Fahrenheit 451 turning from an indexed satire into a documentary as it was ground into swarf and burned is doing anything but decreasing.
I recommend rereading Fahrenheit 451. Satire is not what I’d call it. Nor is it in any way about suppressing technical information — the firemen themselves have printed manuals — it’s about suppressing meaning in favor of triviality as a means of social control.
An iffy 3d-printed gun using crappy materials can technically work for a few hundred rounds doesn't mean much in a country full of lots of legal guns of all sorts. And while I don't want TdA mass-producing RPGs, but that's not a problem solvable by regulating milling machines.
The problem is some people want total, invasive, inconsistent control over what other people can do, make, and be for ideological reasons rather than rational ones.
