The #Apple Platform Security Guide was updated yesterday (2026-08-03). Mostly a bunch of editing (oddly, changing "must" to "needs to" everywhere).
But there are four new sections:
⁃ Terminal and script protections
⁃ Search on iCloud[.]com security
⁃ SharePlay security
⁃ Nearby sharing security
The terminal and script protections is especially interesting:
⁃ Terminal paste protection
⁃ Pasteboard command blocking
⁃ Applescript scanning(!)
Here's a diff:

Ok so this “what uses rust” website lists “Valve Proton” as one of the projects using rust. Curious. It links to a reddit post mentioning that proton 5.13-1 used Rust for media_converter. The only problem: In Proton 9, media_converter was rewritten in C, integrated into winegstreamer, and the rust version was removed.
