I have a landline connection provided by my ISP, but don't have a phone plugged in. By chance, I noticed that my router nonetheless eagerly logs every attempt to call my landline number.

Aside from a few spam calls, I was mostly called by survey institutes. A total of 12(!) calls by infas in the span of 3 weeks, and a total of 14(!) by forsa in 5 weeks. I know follow-up calls are important, but that feels excessive.

(Screenshot shows an excerpt, all of them are public numbers by companies.)

Proofreader, my new Obsidian plugin for AI-based proofreading, has been admitted to the community store!

As opposed to simple text generation plugins, this plugin inserts changes as suggestions directly in the editor, similar to the suggested changes feature in word processing apps.

So I literally uninstalled a bunch of apps and c replaced them with alternatives because they did have white icons not complying with iOS 18 dark mode. 🙈

So, macOS 15.1 introduces more privacy indicators. While great in principle, I have apps that continuously record the screen, resulting in a permanent purple dot. For which there is apparently no method of disabling it. 😑

Anyone aware of a workaround to remove that dot?
