> their stand against US law enforcement on things like encryption Are you referring to the San Bernadino shooter's iPhone? Because Apple's attempt to introduce CSAM scanning is certainly not what I would call a stand against US law enforcement.

> Because Apple's attempt to introduce CSAM scanning is certainly not what I would call a stand against US law enforcement. I do. Because they listened to the dissent and changed course. CSAM scanning offline on the phone is effectively dead.

The "shreiking minority" says otherwise.

And the recent hardware back door that existed for years:

There probably are others.

The way these modern macs are set up in terms of permissions is really strange and has put some projects on a backburner for me. My latest woe is getting newsboat to refresh my rss feeds either as a cronjob or launchd service. On my mojave machine this was as trivial as it sounds, either a single line in crontab or a single line with some window dressing to make it into a launchd plist file then its OK. I try and do…

Oh that’s interesting to me. I’ve gone deep into the automation and stuff on macOS and it really _should_ work… Do you have logs?

I have looked at the newsboat logs with the most verbose setting and there’s nothing standing out, other than the run taking 1/10th the time as when I just run newsboat -x reload interactively, and no writing to the cache.db file. Nothing in std err or out. According to those newsboat specific logs it seems to connect to the feeds and output some new article titles along with the time to connect. It does manage to generate the cach lock file but thats it. Its maddening for sure because I feel like at this point I’m out of levers to try and pull.
