A not fun fact: I didn't get a security bounty for a macOS release that was done specifically to address an issue I found.

The rational was that I disclosed the issue publicly. Which I did after reporting it in the beta releases, and after they said “we're unable to identify an issue in your report”, AND AFTER THEY RELEASED THE FUCKING VULNERABILITY.

I have no energy/desire to argue with Apple, but this ain't a good look for a $3T company.

@chockenberry @atlauren and you’re whining on X? Really? You should take this up privately with Apple.
@vermyndax my dude, do you know who CHOCK is?
@atlauren My point is that you shouldn’t have to resort to posting publicly (let alone on X, which is a shitty place to be regardless). Praise in public, correct in private.
@atlauren I don't know where my eyes replaced @chockenberry 's post with “X”, but it's clear I wasn't tracking properly last night.
@vermyndax I did wonder if the whiskey was involved. 🤣
@atlauren It *totally* was. Looking back at this stream I'm like... seriously, who was this guy? Sigh. Sorry all.
