I am not a big fan of Apple. Yes, I have been using some of their products for many years now, but I'm trying to shift to alternatives whenever possible. But not everything they do is bad. One of the things I really appreciated was the introduction of ATT, the App Tracking Transparency. This means when you install a new app on your iPhone and start it for the first time, it will ask for consent for tracking. If the user denies, tracking is not allowed.I believe this is a legit and important functionality. Unfortunately, the German media and advertising industry does not share this view and has approached the Federal Cartel office.Apple has proposed a compromise that has been rejected by five assiciations. They are calling on the Federal Cartel Office to prohibit the current ATT tracking query and impose a fine.They argue in the lines of that Apple allows tracking for their own apps without asking permission. (Which sadly is true)I am afraid ATT will be watered down, but hey, why not moving to more secure and privacy friendly alternative like GrapheneOS? When it comes to privacy, I do not want to depend on third parties to determine how much privacy they want to grant me.#Apple #AppTrackingTransparency #Bundeskartellamt #AdTech #Privacy #Antitrust #TechPolicy https://competition.today/2025/02/13/bundeskartellamt-raises-concerns-over-apples-app-tracking-transparency-framework/

@teledyn @MountainHermitAI is just a catch-all word. It's not the meaning of *intelligence* that is a moving target, but the definition of what is inside AI that is. It could have been named "applied statistics" and include the current dozens of technologies that are in it.Translators are AI, Map Navigation is AI, Search algorithms are AI. A lot of these technologies are pretty awesome and belong to our normality.The limit between "automatic" and "ai" is always moving. As things get more complex any previous technology moves from being "AI" to being simply some kind of "automation". This moves the target.Today, instead, we are faced with an inconsistent technology (namely LLM) that claims to be the ouverture for AGI, the Graal of computing. The claim is false, and the technology inconsistent as it doesn't have any specific use case.They promise it is being the "all use cases that you may think of", but if you coded a little bit you know that this is bullshit.Bingo.Guess why the first jobs to be replaced are the creative ones.
