@hansw Thank you for the instructive comment.
You are totally right, education about privacy in general and cryptography in particular is the way to go.

Mea culpa, I was not specific enough. My intention was simply to emphasize the benefit of using open source operating systems (and software in general) to avoid issues like this:
*Apple knows when you’re at home. When you’re at work. What apps you open there, and how often. They know when you open Premiere over at a friend’s house on their Wi-Fi, and they know when you open Tor Browser in a hotel on a trip to another city.*

Of course this is not exclusive of Apple computers, we have the same problem (even worse I would say) with all modern smartphones and portable devices. And I think the level of privacy-awareness of the society is far from healthy.

@hansw
I hope you (or anybody) are not taking my "Kids" as condescending. That wasn't my intention! :)

@pganssle
Very instructive!
I had to deal with timezones for a recent project, and I have to say that your talk was very enlightening. Thank you very much , sir.

@digital_carver
You made me think carefully about it and you are totally right. It is in the very nature of how analyses work and how it should be, there is no shame on that.

Kids, please use #Linux (or *BSD).

*It turns out that in the current version of the macOS, the OS sends to Apple a hash (unique identifier) of each and every program you run, when you run it.*

[Book] **Evidence-based software engineering**

From the book itself:
*This book discusses what is currently known about software engineering based on an analysis of all publicly available software engineering data. This aim is not as ambitious as it sounds because there is not a lot of data publicly available.*

*The analysis is like a join-the-dots puzzle, except that the 600+ dots are not numbered,some of them are actually specs of dust, and many dots are likely to be missing. The wayforward is to join the dots to build an understanding of the processes involved in buildingand maintaining software systems; work is also needed to replicate some of the dots toconfirm that they are not specs of dust, and to discover missing dots.*

A terça opção não é assim tão boa. Boa alimentação, exercício, sai muito ao sol...

Mas eu não confiaria muito numa vacina comprada na "Darknet"

@Phaedrus
Seriously, this is a f***ing Black Mirror episode.

@olamundo A sério ou estás a brincar?
