Little Snitch 3 – Protect your privacy

I have blocked everything Adobe Lightroom and its little cloud friends try to do, except on install to validate key. And a bunch of other apps / Apple services. If it wasn't for Little Snitch I wouldn't feel at ease running Mac instead of Linux. For me MacOS is a decent compromise between privacy and convenience because of Little Snitch. (Except that I implicitly add to the problem by accepting Mac in my life, leading by example and all that. Still struggling with that. But I tell myself I have bigger fish to fry.)

Question: Do you use an Android phone? Just saying.... you have much bigger problems on this kind of devices.

Which might be true, but two wrongs do not make one right. I.e., leaking data on mobile devices does not make leaking data on laptop ok.

Question: are you a full-time nudist? Just saying, someone has seen you naked, so why not everyone?
