I don't have the camera app in my app grid, but sometimes I see the green dot and have no idea what is triggering it. I even disabled the camera permission for all apps and started to turn it on from scratch only for apps I find necessary, but didn't know what was triggering it.
I am not why this logging thingy isn't enabled by default, but I am very happy it's possible to turn it on.
Since most macOS installations use FileVault by default, the login screen looks like it loads only stuff related to the login screen and not anything from the OS. Windows on the other hand, seems to load more stuff in the spinning thingy screen that appears before the login screen.
For instance, if you disable Filevault on macOS, the OS seems to load before the login screen, and then when you input your login and password, it loads to the desktop instantly. That would be a better comparison to a Windows machine, I think.
That said, I am not sure if this is how things really works, but that's how it looks like to work for me. Sorry if I spread any misinformation here :)
Every time I tried to install it to test if it was good, something broke for no reason. This happened to me on many PCs and many versions of Ubuntu.
The last time I tried 24.04, the installer crashed in the middle of the installation and I couldn't finish it.
If someone wants to test Ubuntu, I'd say you should try it, but do not get surprised if something very basic seems broken since that's my entire experience with the distro. I'd recommend Fedora instead.
To commemorate, I am running `brew install --cask zed` right now! :^)
I love to watch Adam Neely's and 12Tone's channel about music theory. I don't understand everything they say, but the topics are usually very interesting. I also enjoy 8bitmusictheory and, as you can imagine from the name, it's focused on game music.
I hope you enjoy them :^)

edit: oh, forgot to say, but `my mechanics` is truly amazing!
I don't think they need a VPN for this.
It feels a bit strange when some of us want the benefits of what this telemetry may give (a better product, perhaps?) while not willing to conceive information to improve it.
Maybe it's similar to how ads work. I use an ad blocker, but because I feel ads make the product worse, not better.
I am not sure if my pov makes sense though.
Maybe that's the reason I sometimes get a green dot when I am unlocking my phone.
Tyvm for sharing this. IIRC, it's possible to change the camera icon in the lock screen to something else. Since I never use this button (I am one of those weirdos that use the camera control button instead), I think I'll change to something else.
