> As best I can tell, Apple does not have explicit plans to announce when your data is going off-device for to Private Compute. You won't opt into this, you won't necessarily even be told it's happening. It will just happen. Magically.

With a hardened configuration, Apple has world-class device security. In time, remote PCC may prove as robust against real-world threats. Until then, it would be good to retain on-device security policy and choice for remote computation.

Is there a good non-Apple reference for the functions performed by their servers?

This is actually what you have to do now if you don’t want Siri and Mail to leak your address book to Apple.

By disabling Siri and iCloud, or other policies?

With OpenAI calls is different because the privacy point is stronger

I'd prefer things stay on the device but at least this is a big commitment in the right direction - or in the wrong direction but done better than their competitors, I'm not sure which.

Impossible to see any content.

Create irrational fear about piracy, push privacy focused products and profits as the sheeple promptly fall for this

jokes aside, this is no different from people selling bunker beds, gold, ammunition, crypto, vpns. It is specifically for the set of gullible people who think they and their data is so important. Reality (except for 10,000 people or so) is, most lives and their 'precious' data is worthless. (I'm not talking about SSN, Bank Accounts -- those are well protected by tech cos HN seem to hate on)

False; works fine for me logged out or incognito..

Nitter still works [1]. Also Threadreader (as can be seen linked in Green's tweet).

Probably the mainstream Twitter alternative at this point?

a) Top 10 App Store charts in every country.

b) Heavily promoted through Facebook and Instagram.

c) DAUs are higher than X.

But there is far more.

Kara Swisher is on Threads, for instance.
