#MacOS has turned into a collection of #paranoid, #Apple-signed #SQLite databases amassing 32 hexadecimal (base-16) UIDs run by “we’ll try to sync and mirror to our cloud server in the USA” daemons.
Do you remember the days of real, human-readable data files and non-binary #XMLs? When you could change a .plist without killing the cfprefsd ? 😔
But I realize that most #Mac users don’t care and don’t even understand what I’d just written.
Wait, since when does #Apple encrypt my music #SQLite library with a password I don’t have?! 🤯
#mydata
( I’ve since read the docs describing how I could build a signed code app to read my own music metadata via the Apple’s API … but come on, it’s like I’d need to code an app with a digital certificate to access my own photography work since 1997🤦🏻♂️ )
