@landonfuller ooh nice. I had no idea that OSX started doing this too. This is awesome!
Like privacy? Don't want your Mac OS X spotlight searches sent to Apple and friends? I made a thing: https://fix-macosx.com /cc @micahflee

@micahflee I wouldn't have expected to need to s/Ubuntu/MacOSX/g, but I guess it's a new Apple. Thanks for making your code available!

@landonfuller@micahflee@iljawascoding There is an option already in System pref under privacy>location services> system services -
@UMAD@micahflee@iljawascoding Don't forget to also disable "Spotlight Suggestions" and "Bing Web Searches" in Spotlight > Search Results.

@landonfuller@c0ncealed@micahflee I applaud the effort and the awareness, but can't I just uncheck those two boxes in spotlight settings? -
@essobi@c0ncealed@micahflee Yep! There's *so* much more ground to cover, I started small (e.g., https://twitter.com/JZdziarski/status/523288888560062464 … )This Tweet is unavailable.

@landonfuller@micahflee seems like a hell of a lot of overkill to uncheck two boxes in the Spotlight Prefpane. - View other replies

@rosyna It's pretty handy as a single-shot tool, and the more I poke around, the more I expect it's going to grow.

@landonfuller Is there any difference between that and just unchecking Spotlight Suggestions and Bing Web Searches in Spotlight pref pane? -
@bwebster Nope, that's all it covers (for now).

@landonfuller Hey Landon - can I get an email address to talk about the fix mac os x thing you set up? Planning on covering on Forbes. -

@landonfuller@micahflee Very cool if you feel the need. I'm OK with$AAPL having my search data. They’re not trying to sell me shit. -
@chrismarriott@landonfuller looks like they send your search terms to both Apple and Microsoft, at least https://fix-macosx.com/assets/img/spotlight_terms.16cdcfbf.png … -
@micahflee@landonfuller My search results don’t DuckDuckGo anywhere :-)
