  • If you’re just interested in connections (and don’t care about packet inspection) you can use Little Snitch (paid) or LuLu (FOSS).

    Actually, all the Objective-See Foundation security tools are great and target specific classes of vulnerabilities, like LuLu for outgoing network connections, RansomWhere for detecting ransomwear by looking for encryption events, Oversight that monitors you cameras and microphones and a bunch of other really small, but really useful security utilities. Better than running a shady antivirus that’s going to suck up loads of resources and rely on signatures.








  • My slightly vague recollection was that they were basically feeding “enterprise customers” a load of information including stuff that could be used for union busting, monitoring protests etc. Their enterprise plan has

    Feedly AI Advanced Skills: Market intelligence Threat intelligence Biopharma research Competitive intelligence

    as features. So yeah, creepy as fuck. And they said at the time that this was all done using “AI”.


  • I stopped using Feedly after all the creepy AI stuff. Reeder synced over iCloud with an OPML export every now and then keeps it so I’m not reliant on a central service and can run it all locally should I choose.

    Anyone using Feedly, or equivalent, hasn’t learnt the lessons of Google Reader. Manage it yourself, don’t rely on a central service that’s going to do creepy monitoring on you to power their AI model.
